KEY QUOTE: 

“Rent control is like cancer, it sort of spreads slowly so we know that's something that we have to consider as we assess the risks of the local investments.”

“It's better to start with the right partner up front, so when you hit the ground you already know a lot of your questions are answered and they're gonna be your partner in the long run for this asset.”
