Quotables "Every step of the way it's not that I didn't make the same mistake more than once and make it more than twice, but I never make it as hard as I did the first time." "You can read a book on how to do a rehab, on how to buy and hold, on how to do a wholesale – what it doesn't tell you is the millions of things that can go wrong, that don't work the way you think it's gonna work." "You have to look long-term. You have to have a different thought. You can't look at today."
