Sometimes, scaling down helps you tighten your systems and operations, which can actually prepare you to exceed your current limits down the line.I go into detail with Tucker Merrihew in an episode we recorded earlier from his show. Grab a coffee lets jump in.

In 2015, Tucker Merrihew got the idea for The Portland Real Estate Podcast. And he cohosted the show for seven years.

Building businesses from the ground up isn’t easy. It requires patience, hard work, and most importantly, a solid team. Without trust in that team, the product, the company, and the vision can completely disintegrate. When a team flourishes, you can create a massive success, where everybody wins. Tucker Merrihew and Elliot Smith have been working throughout the past year on Call Magic, a service that helps uncover leads for real estate agents, wholesalers, flippers, and other real estate professionals. Elliot originally teamed up with Cole Ruud-Johnson (who you’ll hear on our Real Estate Podcast, very soon), and everything was running well, but they realized they needed a leader. After Elliot talked to Tucker about the project, Tucker was in. There was just one contingency: the product and the company had to be the best of the best. The three partners agreed to put their all into it, and respect each other’s work. Cole already had experience running an outsourced cold calling team, Elliot had years and years worth of real estate experience under his belt, and Tucker had the Real Dealz Podcast audience at his disposal. Elliot and Tucker walk through setting up your business and your team for success, what to worry about and what to hold off on, hiring team members from overseas, and growing a business to scale, not fail.In This Episode We Cover:What to look for in a business partner/what to look for in an existing partnershipHow to “dummy proof” your businessManaging, paying, and hiring workers that are overseas How to have better cold call conversations that secure leadsSetting out to become the best of the best in your industry Trusting your partners and letting them show their strengths when working togetherAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Real Estate ShowBiggerPockets Podcast 381: 5 Rules for Investing in a Down Market with Tucker MerrihewMarketing Machines, Spec Houses, Flipping & Wholesaling | PodcastBiggerPockets Podcast 255: Six-Figure Real Estate Investing in Just 20 Hours a Week with Elliot SmithBiggerPockets Podcast 394: Making a 25 Deal/Year Business (and Marriage) Work… Together! with Elliot and Chrissy SmithAppleTeslaCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/bizshow95

Welcome to the first episode of The Real Dealz Podcast Hosted by Tucker Merrihew!  In this episode Tucker talks about his background as a Real Estate Investor, why he started The Real Dealz Podcast and what you can look forward to in upcoming episodes!

Tucker has been in the real estate world in some form since he was 22 yrs old. He started out just as a good portion of us investors do, by wholesaling and rehabbing single family houses. But as the years progressed and his name, brand and capital raising skills improved, so did his companies projects.   2011 marked the year it all changed for him when he bought a house that had blue clay underneath, which in turn caused some serious foundation issues. Unfortunately, this is more of an issue for buyers in the Portland area, so they decided it was best to tear down and build new. This home eventually sold for over $600k, and since then, the builds have progressively gotten into the higher price brackets to today, where he currently has a $3.2MM home under construction.   Their design ultimately led to them bringing home the 2014 Best Designed House over 5,000sqft.   We speak briefly on his marketing structure and what he does. D4D(driving for dollars) became a core source of leads for the company as it provided a way for them to dial in the neighborhoods they wanted. From there they would mail, text, RVM(ringless voice mail) and target them online.   To make things easier on the D4D side, he, along with his team design an app, rightfully named, Driving For Dollars. The app allows you to “pin” a distressed house on a map while driving around. After your list is built it will export the owners name, mailing address, phone number and much more!   Check out his podcast “The Real Dealz Podcast” as well as his mastermind, DFA(Deal Finders Academy).   Tucker can be found on FB here: https://www.facebook.com/tucker.merrihew  

Flippin' Friday's Episode #92   Talking #NewBuilds with Tucker Merrihew

Tucker has been an entrepreneur since college and his story of growth and evolution is amazing. Every thought about Ground Up Development? Ever wanted to invest in High End Neighborhoods? Podcast Host of The Real Dealz and Creator of the Driving for Dollar's App (Skip Tracing in your hand)

If you're looking to take your real estate business to the next level… Tucker Merrihew of TTM Development not only would be a great person to learn from, but he also has apps, and tools that you can use today to move your business forward.

Tucker is the Owner and Head Acquisitions & Finance Manager for TTM Development Company. He began his career in the Real Estate business back in 2002 as a Top Producing Mortgage loan officer, and then by 2004 he built his own Mortgage Company TTM Finance, LLC & Davis Financial which is still in operation today. In 2008 Tucker began building TTM Development Company from the ground up, and presently he is in charge of daily operations, Investor Relations, project financing and all new acquisitions for the company.   What you will get out of this interview:   How did Tucker go about finding his first deal? (9:10)   What are some of the three things Tucker sees with new investors where they just don't know what they don't know. (19:35)   What are some of the common strategies that are working for Tucker with tracking down deals. (21:50)   What does Tucker say to the new investors regarding their mindset. (29:19)   How has mentors, advisors and a community around Tucker helped him in his growth. (32:50)   What is the best real estate investor book, tool or resource every investor should have in their arsenal. (38:30)   Tucker's best piece of real estate investing advice for any investor in any space. (40:10) Quotes:   Real estate was the great wide open, it was a place where average dudes and gals can go and make a lot of money.   I need to be in control of my lead flow, my deal flow and ultimately my financial destiny.   Direct mail has been the biggest driver of our deal flow since about 2010.     There are a lot of people that throw out the 4 hour work week mentality for Real Estate and yeah you can get there someday, but someday is not in the beginning of that track.     Ultimately this is a people business.  Houses are just the product but main thing behind everything is the people.     Be consistent.  I know people that aren't that smart and they aren't the best, but they win.  They win because they are consistent.
