💥 QUOTES 💥 

💥 "It's just important during these times, make sure that people are working, they have the income, doing your full background check, and not skimping on any of that. I would focus more on occupancy and collections with your tenants who are there. I wouldn't worry about doing interior renovations to try to get an extra $125 out of someone.” - Charles Carillo 

💥 "Do minimal renovations on your first deals, if anything, because whatever you're doing, whatever you buy it, there's going to be work required. So, you're going to get that renovation experience, but you don't want major renovation experience.” - Charles Carillo 

💥 "During these times where people are moving, they're moving for jobs, where the financial climate is better. So, if you're in these areas that are growing, that's where it's going to give you a buffer on what happens with your properties." - Charles Carillo 

💥 “Up your barriers to entry for folks who are looking to reside at your properties so you can say, ‘this may be a challenging decision today’ [and] maybe we're going to have an occupancy hit if we raise our standards for new applicants, but in the long run, we're going to be in a much more favorable position.” - Tyler Chesser 

💥 “You've got to continually look for feedback in the marketplace and say, look, this did not work. We had a failure. Failure is feedback. It's not fatal. Now. It's an opportunity for us to change strategy, for us to adjust." - Tyler Chesser
