Plan like a pessimist and dream like an optimist."– Morgan Housel"Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world."– Franklin D. Roosevelt "Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible, serving us without drawing attention to itself." – Donald A. Norman"Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection."– Mark TwainDon't wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait. – Will Rogers"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."
