Quotables
“In a roundabout way, there’s a tax efficiency to getting negative cash flow if you’re seeing it as the negative $50K over 5 years of negative cash flow just counts as part of your initial investment.”
“People want good lots in good locations, so lots that are flat and are easier to build on, lots that are close to parks, lots that are close to schools.”
