Quotables

“I just love real estate because I know it’s the path to wealth. It’s the path to financial freedom, it’s foundational – if you look at any people who created financial success in their life, real estate is always a big part or in the mix of creating the wealth.”

“I think that’s always part of the challenge and the blessing of real estate – it is transactional, so it’s always one deal to the next. The challenge is how you continue to build consistency and stacking up activity so that the deals are always coming in.”

“If you just look at the volume and the frequency of purchase when working with an investor, that far outweighs working with a traditional homeowner that’s buying one home every 5-7 years.”
