Tweetable Quotes:

“In Real Estate there are so many opportunities to invest safely and part of that can be reflected in the debt service coverage ratio; The margin of safety between your net operating income and your debt payments… there are so many good ways to invest but you shouldn’t have to speculate and so I recommend people really think through that.” - Paul Moore
