@Randy Giovanniello Hi Randy,Stay positive!

Hello Everyone, I’m Amire and I’m here to learn and indulge myself in the real estate realm to better my position in life along with creating a mindset to share with friends and family along my journey to financial freedom. 

This can put you in a better position to get the house you want.

And a lot of start-up companies are migrating to this city as well because of the OSU campus that has thousands of talented students graduating and looking for positions locally.Everything that’s going on here in Columbus is attracting investors and other businesses from all over.

You are essentially a second lien position lender.
