Quotes:
"That is such a good long-term asset. My kids will deal with that property. Because once these tenants get into that university, and the university continues to get bigger and bigger, it's just such a good long-term tenant that just builds good customers whether they're students or faculty. Since the university isn't going anywhere, it's a good property to own."
"I bought a 40-unit apartment building very close to the college and I and determined that there were no condos available for this particular neighborhood and area around the university. So, what I did is I bought that apartment building for about 50 a door and I think I put in about 15 or 20 on average per door then I turned around and sold them for about $130,000.00 and I'll tell you what; every one of those were bought by a student's parent. It's a phenomenal investment and goes up about 5-10% every time one of those things turns."
