Quotables
“New construction has such a higher value than older homes, so we don’t need as many properties to reach a higher net worth or a higher portfolio value.”
“Building can be very overwhelming, so you have to have someone who is willing to kinda teach you and guide you through it.”
“When someone says that it can’t be done, keep trying to get that approval or keep thinking and working the system. There are ways to do it, so don’t give up if someone says you can’t do it right away.”
