Highlights from the interview

• "Multifamily is a lot more scalable. It's a lower risk asset. If you have one tenant not there, you don't go into 100% vacancy. In a single family home, every time I have turnover, I'm at 100% vacancy."
• "If you put a deal under contract, you close that deal."
• "If I'm entering a market, I've been looking at it for at least a year, sometimes two years before I've entered it."
