I started my real estate career young. I was helping the family fix up properties since I can remember. I have a few favorite memories:

Roach House: Too young to do much around the house, as the brothers and Dad pulled up the carpet, I spent hours sucking up roached in a vacuum as thousands (seriously) crawled up the wall.

Dirty toilets: It's amazing what chlorine bleach and elbow grease can do.

Palm Springs: Landscaping in 120 degree heat. Even the pool was a refreshing 90 degrees.

Did my first investment with Dad when I moved to NYC. Dad actively managed the property. He bought at the right time and sold at the peak.
