I can not answer legal questions or provide legal advice, but other than that, I can answer most questions regarding Multi-family purchase, management, ownership, finance, maintenance, repositioning, and marketing. I can also answer almost any question related to the development or maintenance of the physical plant.
I have been in the apartment business for 18 years. I started in the business as a maintenance supervisor, with the intent of learning all aspects of the industry from the bottom up. It took me about ten years to work my way to the ownership of my first property, and my own management company. I have semi retired now, and occasionally participate in partnership deals and consulting for institutional investors and private investors acquiring apartment properties throughout the US.
Education/Credentials
My formal education was through the University of Maryland during my Air Force career. I have completed multitudes of courses from various industry associations in the apartment business.
