I'm raising rents by 5 to 10 percent if the tenant is staying with me. If a tenant departs, I'm going up by 20 percent.

There's been a 100 percent increase in taxes over the last three or four years. Insurance is up 30 to 40 percent.

Look at North Port. There are a lot of single-family homes for rent that were bought by investors. They're on the market for $1,300 to $1,400 a month. But they're not renting. You need two people earning pretty good incomes to afford those prices.

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

I trust that age with not wither, nor custom stale my infinite variety.

For you have fallen low, let us see someday how high you can rise...
