Most real estate investors don’t actually have a business yet; they have a hustle that depends entirely on their energy, memory, and mood.

For today's episode of the Results Driven Podcast, Tiffany High breaks down the eight hidden behaviors that keep investors busy, stressed, and stuck year after year without predictable results.
