Pressure

"Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it's because you've started to think of failure." - Tommy LaSorda, LA Dodgers manager

"Good luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." - Darrel Royal, Univ. of Texas football coach

"If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven't done anything today." - Lou Holtz, Univ. of South Carolina football coach

"The key is not the will to win...everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important." - Bobby Knight, Texas Tech men's basketball coach

The next 45 days are probably going to be the busiest in the history of our company.By Sept 15th we will:

• Close on a $75M acquisition.
• Sign agreements of sale on an additional 2,000 units
• Lease up 300 units.
• Settle a $12M insurance claim
• Finance more than $100M in debt (in a very bad debt market)
• Raise $14M in equity capital.

That's a lot of work in a very short period of time but when I look at the dynamic organization we have created I am confident that we will succeed. Thinking outside the box and Wowing people with our attitude of success is what makes us different. Like many great sports teams we have spent time practicing and perfecting ourselves so when the opportunities arise we can take advantageous. So we earned the pressure and opportunity to perform this month.With everyones dedication and extra effort this next few weeks is going to be an incredible success.

We will succeed.

Let's Make It Happen.
