Today I have the pleasure of talking with Rob Levy, who has been in the Real Estate business for 30 years. While some people think of it as a going down sector, Rob and I think of it as a land of opportunity. It’s a little bit of all contrarian play in the space retail and America’s going through a transformation in that sector. Today Rob and I talk about how we can take advantage of great pricing and market, balance in the market.
