THE VALUE OF TIME: A SLOW COOKED APPROACH TO INVESTING LINDA PLIAGAS AND HANNAH ASH
s the market continues to rebound, inventory levels are running low. With inventory low, it’s easy for
investors to get discouraged about new deals. For partners Don Fullman and Charles Sells, new deals
are a matter of knowledge and patience, “there are more investment opportunities than there is cash to
put into them”. As director of acquisitions for Platinum Investment Properties West, Sells doesn’t claim to have
a magic wand approach to investing. Though PIP offers clients the opportunity to acquire property for “pennies
on the dollar” that’s just the result, not the approach. The approach Fullman and Sells take is a refined one.
Just as some restaurants, such as McDonald’s, are fast while others require reservations months in advanced
and a schooled palate, Sells and Fullman take a slow-cooked approach to investing.
