Tweetables:

"When interest rates are low and it's easy to qualify for loans, you have this market where everybody moves out and they buy."

"I think Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should go away. They cause distortions in the market."

"We get to own and control things while we're alive and it's come upon us to do the best job that we can with our financial resources."
