Quotes

“There’s an opportunity cost to not being in the market – people say the best time to buy real estate was yesterday”  Mike 6:13

“I think it is possible to have a good balance. I think when you are looking at those more affordable areas if that capital growth is potentially a little bit less than that blue chip asset, if you’re able to get into the market sooner and you’re starting to get that equity it might balance out anyway” Casey 8:53

“We focus on the land portion – getting that large piece of land as that’s what does the heavy lifting long term and appreciates in value”  Casey  10:17

“Affordability, obviously that’s what we’re talking about today, with the interest rates increasing and peoples’ borrowing capacity being affected a little bit further, those more affordable areas, people are still able to purchase within those areas so it’s an important factor” Casey 12:52
