QUOTES:

14:15 "Doing that on a scale, one might not be all that challenging. Two, more challenging. You start talking about five or ten or twenty as the example we used, there's lots going on there and it's much more difficult than what it seemed when you first set out."

15:39 "Everyone has their opinions about what's a better way. Us personally, we tend to like that lease with an option to purchase program simply because from an operational and functional standpoint, it's a lot easier if you have a problem with the resident." 

16:18 "Once you decide what strategy you're going to go with, then that dictates what the process to execute on that plan is."

30:49 "Most people, they may call, they may email, but the biggest communication source we found was text messages."

44:40 "When people are looking for a home or a place to live or an apartment, whatever it is, it's immediate. They are looking right now. You call them two days later, it's not a hot lead anymore."

47:09 "I tend to believe that most transactions are relationship-driven."
