QUOTES

• "The other thing that's really fascinating that people don't talk about a lot is the option. Exercising options on real estate is such a powerful tool that I personally haven't done enough, but I definitely want to." - Avi Rasowsky
• "It's not important who you know. It's important who knows you. And what do they know you for? Do they know you based on the value you provided? Do they know you based on your reputation? How are you known to people? That's so important." - Curtis Waters
• “Increase your rent and you're increasing your value. If you're in a market where you're dealing with a much lower cap rate, every increase in rent has a much bigger swing in the value." - Curtis Waters
