Tweetable Quotes:

"My default assumption is, somebody's gonna try to steal from me. Somebody's gonna not pay rent. Somebody's gonna quit on-site. And when those things happen you go, ‘Yup, I expected that. It's figuring out how to put in a plan that can deal with all those things’." – Devin Elder

"I think that's important for passive investors to understand: there's a lot of dollars in this business. Pro and Con, right? There's a lot of money to be made, but guess what? There's a lot of money to be spent and a lot of operating capital to float too." – Devin Elder

"Anything that man can conceive and believe, he can achieve." – Devin Elder
