Tweetable Quotes:

“ I think you need to surround yourself with people that you want to be around. People that have done it before. And you don't want to take 20 years to learn how to do this business. You don't need 20 years. Find somebody who has done it, find a group that resonates with you and start taking that education. And then ultimately as you start focusing on it and doing the education, you'll figure out that multi-family aand most real estate is market specific.”
