QUOTES:

"There's no other way to get a gut feeling for the project than besides standing on the site, looking around, taking it in, I'll visit at night, in the morning during the day, that's how you do deals, that's how the business happens— out in the field, on site, boots on the ground."

"The metrics are the same wherever you go, the drivers for hotels are the same for multifamily in anything else you'll need."

"To this day, I do not guarantee debt, I do non-recourse loans."

"What I do is I stay away from deals where I refinance is part of the business plan.

"The process starts with a vision, so it's about being able to create a vision for a project and then leading a team to the finish line and getting that thing." HIGHLIGHTS
