Quotes:
"We partner with people a lot on a lot of our flips. When you're initially getting into the business, that's the best way to do it because it's very low risk. You've got some people looking out behind your back. And you're probably partnering with people that have done it way more frequently.” – Mercedes St. George
"I'll tell you a real number of what I can purchase it for, I'll tell you what I'm going to put into the property, and I'll tell you what I'm going to sell it for down the line. I'm very open with people that I'm in this business to make money." – Mercedes St. George
“I think the biggest reason I had a lot of success is because I was seeing so many transactions go on. I was seeing so much churn and burn. I was exposed to all of it very, very early on.” – Mercedes St. George
“If you have no idea what to do, you need someone to kind of propped you into the position to know what to do.” – Mercedes St. George
