While we occasionally have to go down the eviction path with extremely delinquent or disruptive tenants immediately after Close, our process of re-lignment and issuing of new leases typically addresses the problematic group.

I primarily look for homes within top rated school districts in neighborhoods that are at least 30 years old, and I actually prefer neighborhoods that are within or near a historic district.I have over 20 years of project management and 3rd party inspection experience so when I grew frustrated with contractors I decided to take matters into my own hands and started my own remodeling company mainly for my investments, but I also occasionally take on projects for others.
