"Ways that we can attack rental revenue, are figuring out where there are additional value-added strategies to increase rents" - James Knull

"This is where we get into Vancouver-style investing. It might be a more effective use of your capital over a five-year snapshot to just take 10 or $15,000. Put it in a special reserve fund and use that to subsidize the negative cash flow until your rent increase catches up." - James Knull

 "Don't think about it in terms of trying to cling to every property. Think about it, like a wise portfolio manager just reshoot rebalancing a stock portfolio. It's the same strategy. It's the same mindset. It's the same approach." - James Knull
