I am here to create a business strategy that protects personal and business investments and mitigates risk,  procure a coach or mentor, and set up tax strategies to create long-term wealth for myself and my family.

I personally do not have experience managing rentals.

If an in-person visit is not feasible, we can easily arrange video tours to accommodate your schedule.

I tried to create rapport with the owner over the phone but waited to present my real agenda only in person.   

Ask your employer if you can have your pay split up into three deposits, one to investments savings, one to your checking account for personal use on a daily basis, and one to an emergency account you can tap into so you don't have to tap into your investment savings.
