Tweetables:

“From a macro long-term perspective, I think it's an incredibly advantageous time to take paper money and trade it in for hard assets that generate income. And my favorite hard asset that generates income is multifamily housing.”

“I think I'll be a net buyer as well, what that means is, I'll be buying a lot more units than I will be selling.”

“By having the flexibility of floating shorter-term debt, with rate caps, and more cash on the side, those are my insurance I can be more nimble as to when I sell the asset.”

“We're making sure that we got the best asset management team on the field or making sure that they're looking over the shoulders of the property management side of the house.”
