QUOTES

• "Looking for upside primarily. If I can sell it, if it's worth a 7% cap rate, then I want to be able to buy it at a 9 to a 10% cap rate. So I can capture that upside. Whether I refinance it and keep it forever, or if I sell it, I can, you know, make some money, make it worth the gray hairs." - Jim Kittridge
• “It's refreshing to see even from the very beginning of your first deal, you've been open to partnerships. I always like to see how people balance that between building it all on their own versus equity share.” - Avi Rasowsky
• "Most business owners are pretty good. If they can't pay, they tell you. Then you find a way out. Whereas some tenants in houses fight it for as long as they can and make excuses for as long as they can. And it gets ugly for no reason." - Jim Kittridge
