• “When someone has a tenant, that's not paying, the sooner you move to a victim, the better off you'll be.” - Douglas Hiller
• “When someone comes to me and their tenant is three, six, or eight months behind, I want to pull my hair out and say, you know, it's frustrating because it's not that difficult of a process, but it's a time-sensitive process.” - Douglas Hiller
• “The sooner you are able to re-rent the property to start collecting rents and paying your expenses, your mortgage, your taxes, the more you mitigate losing funds, but also the lesser the risk you run of having the tenant. I mean, in this case, is really not a good example, but by giving them a few days, you reduce the risk of them actually doing harm to the property because they have to get out.” - Raquel Ramirez
• “The way Florida statutes for residential tenancies in particular reads, it's under 8360, is if the tenant doesn't do one of several things, the landlord gets an automatic default final judgment or possession. They have to deposit the undisputed rent to the court registry.” - Douglas Hiller
• “You'd be surprised what attorneys charge for closings. You would think that it's like a $15,000. It's not. But you've got somebody who's on the right side of the law, who's looking at this very carefully, and he's going to be able to jump in when they see that something's wrong.” - Raquel Ramirez
