“A lot of people, whenever you're doing your first capital raise, they either want to see you have some success, they want you to go full cycle on one deal before they consider investing with you or they just want to see your career.” - Caleb Johnson

“There's so many people that get into this space [real estate] because it is so lucrative that when they fail, and it does take time, it is challenging to get into when they don't get the success that they want, they bail. And so how do they know that you or I aren’t that person.” - Caleb Johnson
