Key Takeaways:

“When I go to the alternate lender who does non-recourse, it could point to higher interest. But it's great because it's non-recourse. And then it's on the loan to value. I lock it in for this price. I create value by filling vacancies, raising rents and adding profit centers and lowering my expenses. We don't have management on these, we've automated, modernized them. So, there's a fraction of the actual cost for management.” - Terry Hale

“I had to get away from competition, I had to get away from the real estate investment trusts and any wall street money dealing with a huge property. So, I found this little cookie-cutter niche, and then I started looking at ownership. If somebody owned that thing for about 20 years, then at that point in time, they're probably more than likely ready to retire. So, I started focusing on those properties.” - Terry Hale

“I reverse engineer my thinking, I started looking instead of buying retail property on a capitalization rate, I started looking at more distressed property that is not bankable.” - Terry Hale
