\u201cIt's all about the numbers, it's just like looking at an underlying asset.\u201d


\u201cI don't really care as long as the numbers match what I'm looking for, and I'm looking for higher risk, higher returns\u2026around 50% and 80% IRR is what I usually look for in a deal.\u201d


\u201cI do think that there's going to be a lot of deals in the market, you want to find operators that know how to identify those deals.\u201d


\u201cThe numbers need to be more conservative, I think, as opposed to what they were in the past few years.\u201d


\u201cSo low and the asset value makes sense, I think now moving forward, that'll be more sort of lower, so you'll have less loan to value. I think it just makes it a safer deal.\u201d\xa0


\u201cI always track IRR. I think that's the most important metric that exists. Most people don't really understand that metric.\u201d


\u201cThe IRR is the only metric that you compare apples to apples. If I put $100,000 in the stock market, but $100,000 into a real estate investment, the only way to compare those two is using IRR.\u201d
