Aside from Real Estate, my love for life is found in auto racing (F1, Indycar, Etc.), spending time with my family, and always continuing to better myself whether that be reading books, being outdoors and exercising, networking, and/or sharpening my skills for my trade.I started my real estate journey in 2021 after a software business I was a partner in had a bad partnership breakup that saw me lose everything (financially). 

@Kathie Mata   appliance insurance may work in some places, in my area is quite slow to show up.   

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.
