Tweetable Quotes:

“It has to be personal service hours… if the hours you are logging do not enhance or improve the property’s operations, then those hours do not count.” - Brandon Hall

“For anyone that’s a GP or thinking about syndication, if you’re on the GP side you got to ‘Cost Seg’ if you’re on the LP side it’s more about timing… How do you best utilize the loss and does it make sense to invest today?” - Brandon Hall
