Key Takeaways:

“Right now, you still got to keep your portfolio in balance, right, with your asset management and implementing your rent raises and doing all that stuff. And so you need to have somebody or you need to be spending time doing that, but you need to be as you can before stuff starts to break. Right? So for work balance, if you're in balance all the time, you're really never going to get exceptional results. You're just not you're going to get average results because everything's always perfectly aligned and you're not in growth mode.”

“Why would I not do that? Deal? Because if I can break even and there's a value add, I know I can get the dollars up and I know I can amortize debt. Is this going to be a home run slam dunk deal that's going to generate 2020 5% IRR to the investors? No, but it doesn't have to be because all I got to do is just generate a little bit of return to pay the mortgage note to the seller and the bank and I'm amortizing debt and I'm writing inflation up. And if my property is appreciating value two to 3% a year, and I can hold that for five years, ten years, I can suddenly make ten years:is 30% on 2 million is 600 grand, right? Plus debt amortization for no cost of capital other than just operating the property.”
