Yeah, look, trust me, I love a value-added property.
It's one of our core principles to chase, but it should not be the number one priority.
The number one priority should be look at the investment fundamentals as a long-term investment.

A lot of the time the duplex profits factored into the price day one.
You've just got to be careful with that.
