“A lot of people [are] worried about leaving money on the table or worried about something being perfect, so they don’t pull the trigger. That’s like saying I’m gonna hunt for my dinner but I only want to eat unicorn.” — Michael DeHaan [0:09:03]

“The one thing that I can know about real estate is even if the real estate values go down and inflation goes crazy and our dollar is now worth nothing, a house will still be worth a house.” — Michael DeHaan [0:14:39]

“If we lost 40% equity in our properties overnight, what would that look like? That’s a huge swing… we’re talking housing crisis… we’d still be okay.” — Daniel Austin [0:15:07]

“Just make the best decisions you can for today and keep investing consistently and keep buying the deals that make sense in today’s market and over a period of time, you’ll be okay.” — Daniel Austin [0:17:46]
