"I looked for a lot of different paths, ways that I could spend my time and money and real estate really resonated for me because it was something I could do without leaving my W-2 job and get up and working for a while and I had control over it and I liked that path and most people in real estate are following something fairly similar."
"There are a lot of ways to make mistakes and you need to learn from other people who have made the mistakes so that you're not making them yourself.
"You need people on your team who have experience and you'll give them a little bit bigger share of the equity as a result."
"If a tenant makes an inquiry to your ad, you need to respond quickly because that tenant's just run, or prospective tenant is running down through a list of apartments they found in your area."
