QUOTES
- "If you were to start in residential, then I would tell you to maybe go into just selling investment properties, so just homes or small multifamily, like under four units, because that's technically still considered residential." - Graham Storey
- “It makes more sense to add 10 units at once that you can significantly increase your net worth and income overnight compared to buying in a residential neighborhood for life, where you're kind of capped out at the overall value until the market appreciates and you have more room to grow.” - Quentin West
- "Commercial is definitely more of a long-term play, and you can find deals with a lot of cash flow, but there's just a higher barrier to entry, especially if you're not doing it every single day." - Graham Storey
