I've helped self-managing investors find good property management after disastrous DIY experiences, and I've helped investors with terrible property management find qualified and reputable companies.

I've worked in most phases of residential construction, but have not yet managed  a project this large.

I am just a beginner wholesaler so I haven't done much marketing/lead management yet.
