Episode Summary

In Episode 24, we sit down with Tucker Mortier, a rising real estate investor based in St. Paul. Over just three years, Tucker has purchased three owner-occupied duplexes, using strategic financing, negotiation, and determination to assemble a solid 10-door portfolio. Most recently, he closed his first commercial deal using a contract for deed with highly favorable terms.

Tucker brings a laid-back and down-to-earth vibe to this episode, sharing the ups and downs of managing tenants, getting deals accepted, and building wealth from scratch. He opens up about learning lessons through experience, including the challenges that come with landlord-tenant relationships and duplex negotiations. We especially dive into one of the best seller-financed terms we’ve seen on the show yet. We’re looking forward to having him back in a few years to see how far he’s taken this winning streak.
