Memorable Quotes:
“Money, currency, it’s very important. Anybody that says it’s not probably has never seen two parents work two jobs and have to do that kind of stuff, but there’s a lot more to life. You having a quality of life and being able to do the things that you want to do with the people that you want to do [them] with when you want to do it, it goes way beyond the amount of money that you make.” - Billy Keels
“The team is the most critical part of being able to be an effective long-distance investor. Once you’re clear on what you want to do, you’re in the right location, and you have a team that understands the location and what you want to be able to do as an individual or as a team, then it doesn’t matter if the next property you put in your portfolio is 300 units, 50 units… because everything is aligned.” - Billy Keels
