absorb all the podcasts, absorb all the YouTube videos, hire the coaches, do the work,

whatever you're passionate about, whatever business you want to grow. And then eventually

that's going to provide your freedom. You can hire teams. You can build all the businesses

off that because the skills that you learn. So really put the groundwork because I didn't even travel

for seven years. I was working 100 or 120 hours while just focusing on the commercial side and then just learning the skill set

to do the digital side before I even start traveling. So put the work in now to see the results

years later.

Onica Jackson, and I'm on a mission to uncover the stories, strategies, and secrets that have

Jonathan Tuttle, your LinkedIn profile really says it all. You are an investor. You are a renaissance man. And I love the first sentence, creative problems solver while ethically serving others first. So talk to me about how you formulated that value and took that with you throughout all of your different business endeavors. Sure. Yeah, that's a great point. I think as you've, if anybody's been in the business, the one thing you want to do is obviously solve problems because that we get paid to do. But the main thing is to ethically do it and follow what you're going to say. You're going to do that's the biggest frustration as a business owner of your people in general is to actually, if somebody says they got to do it, they actually do it and do it the right way. And so that was just something kind of stuck in my head that I want to see and I want people to resonate and people reach out to me that the values are aligned, basically. Yeah, 100%. So you grew up in Chicago, real estate family, talk a little bit about that,

what you do in real estate now, and then how did that propel you into moving into other areas,

becoming a digital nomad, podcasting on and on and on? Sure. Yeah. Well, I grew up a real estate family,

and my dad had like three real estate brokerage offices and this developer built Sunday five custom homes. We even had a golf course in a bowling alley as a kid. Those were like the worst investments, by the way. I know we lost a lot on those. But I just saw that side of it that if you invest and do the hard work, that's your passive. And obviously, most people know if you're a credit investor, you can invest in passive commercial real estate that one of the best vehicles. I segued into from the brokerage side because everyone does a brokerage side. I was inspired back in the day from the million dollar listings and all the TV shows. I'm like, oh, you can make $100,000 a day. This is great. But it's a lot harder work than the shows on TV.

And I like the commercial side of it because the investment side, because it's actually a number, and it's actually, it's not about the color of the wall. It's about what this return could potentially make me. So I segmented into mobile home parks, which is a really niche industry.

It's gotten really popular in the last couple of years because it's soft as affordable housing.

And at the same time, it's one of the least competitive real estate. So it's kind of this weird where you hit, like, it's not super competitive, not like a million people, like flippin single family homes. The same time, it's solving a problem that everyone, majority, well, large percent of America needs affordable housing and also

it's great returns. And now kind of seeing it's getting more consolidated, we're, I'm switching

more still than the mobile parks, but also doing self-flex-based development, which is basically

storage centers in industrial growth areas. Like right now we have a project in new brothels,

Texas is one of the fastest growing, if not the fastest growing counties in America. We're on the major highway. There's
