Harry describes the criteria he brings to a purchase, the importance he places on having options before a difficult period, and the personal priorities that shape his business. The discussion moves from property financing to his views on relationships, purpose and the use of time.

Dalia asks what gives an investor room to respond to a shortfall. Harry discusses financing access and potential partnerships as part of his own contingency planning.
