Quotables
“Right now, interest rates are high and it’s getting tougher to acquire more real estate so sometimes it is easier to pull back and just look at what you currently have and try to maximize that.”
“Get a building permit, obviously to make sure stuff is up to code, but all of these other regulations and studies that they make you jump through, a lot of times is a complete waste.”
“You’re gently creating housing. We’re not just doing unit turnovers and trying to evict low-paying tenants and increasing rent on a building.”
