Tweetable Quotes:
“Because of my nature being an accountant, I always have to see everything. It's hard for me not to look at the financial statement every minute. It's hard for me not to balance the checkbook. So, I have to see everything and manage the cost to the best ability that I can for our investors.” – Elsa Nguyen
“In order to best serve all my investors is that I would be able to leverage every dollar that I could by working with a strong operator who can then leverage their experience to get a better interest rate because of their track records.” – Elsa Nguyen
