If your agent is out of pocket for 3 days, there should be someone else in their office ready to submit your offer and get a cut for doing your agent's work.That said, I'm almost through the four hour work week and I know I shouldn't be checking email and answering calls on vacation... but SOMEBODY needs to take my calls and answer emails when I'm on vacation (still working through finding a virtual assistant).

Most recently I've read The E Myth Revisited, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Outliers, David and Goliath, and the 4 Hour Work Week.

50 hours is about a work week for most people.

I had a lot of irons in the fire I guess...sold my home, moved in w/ fiance, 50+ hour work weeks, remodel/repair apartments myself, fill 4 units that went vacant almost at once. etc.

Brandon's book on rental properties, no and low money, tax saving strategies, the book on flipping, rich dad poor dad, cash flow quadrant, millionaire real estate investor, 4-hour work week, and a few others. 

From there I've started listening to the audiobooks of the suggested reading from the show. 4- hour work week.

I learned about real estate investing from Grant Cardone's podcasts and have read several books since then, including Rich Dad Poor Dad, the BP Ultimate Beginner's Guide, The E-Myth Revisited, and The 4 Hour Workweek.  

I know a 40 hour work week is industry standard for contractors, but the next one I hire will have to make me confident they are willing to do what it takes to meet deadlines.Some other things to lookout for: Advanced age (this guy was in his sixties) may equal experience - but lets face it - it also means less ambition and energy.

I do software consulting and recently reduced my work week to 4 days so I could look for properties on the 5th day.

They joke about the fact that they only work a 40 hour work week.
