“We all know there's a process and we should follow the process and stick to the process. In that way, you don't make mistakes.” - Darryl Murphy Sr

“I did not vet properly to choose, just see about these investors, like who have dealt with them before? Have they done this before? Stuff like that. And I failed to do that. So because of that, I still went through the due diligence.” - Darryl Murphy Sr

“You have to settle down, pick one to two markets, focus on and build a relationship, and then a deal will come.” - Darryl Murphy Sr

“I was everywhere man, I was. I was in North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico... I was in Texas, New Jersey when you name a state, and I was there looking for a deal. Until my mentor told me to say, ‘As long as you keep bouncing around like this, you're never going to get a deal.’.” - Darryl Murphy Sr

“Let me tell you, it [setback] did not discourage me. It got me pumped, it got me excited, because now I knew that it could be done for real. I may not have closed on it, I learned a lot from it. And yes, I lost money, too. But I was so excited that it just drove me more and more and more.” - Darryl Murphy Sr
