Quotables

“It’s never a lack of resources, it’s a lack of resourcefulness. There’s always a solution.”

“The key to this space, what you and I do, is incremental progress. It’s not overnight, be Willy Numbers and do $7 million a year. It’s not overnight, do 2,300 transactions – it’s a slower, methodical way of doing it.”

“I want people to be able to create a lifestyle for themselves that is ultimately what the rental is for.”
