"The best investment on earth is earth" - Louis Glickman
Real estate can be one of the safest investments when instituting protocols categorized by patience and discipline. Every parcel or building has a highest and best use. Having knowledge about local uses, geographies, demographics and culture can lead to successful investments once proper diligence is completed in a thoughtful and disciplined manner. Investment should not be done in haste. There are elements of timing dependent on environment and objectives. Lack of patience and discipline creates a futile and possibly fatal investment.
Capital formatting is critical to investment success. Christine has 15 years experience making all decisions related to capital stack and structure.

We have to be more disciplined than the rest."
