Quote from @Mandy Groom: Hi!

@Sam Grooms I love that parable.  

That wedding planner has a short list of suggestions for where the bride and groom should stay, are you on that list as an option (near me is wine country => lots of weddings happen there)?

@Sam Grooms  I'm not necessarily planning on retiring from being an engineer.  

The past few years I have been dressing and grooming better in order to maintain a level of appearance that meets the criteria for the work that I do as a representative of the companies I have worked for.

Now that this avenue is closed, I would over time groom the business for sale and not exchange.

Last but not least, there're several quality books written about it.Start with "it's a whole new business" by Gene Trowbridge and Sam Grooms book on syndications.

Fink has been grooming leadership at his organization to take over the reigns.

If you feel the property manager is worth holding on to and grooming maybe having the PM draft the new lease changes, conference with the tenants to ensure full understanding of your terms and this is their last chance before being terminated.

We tried proposing alternate arrangements where the PM would be rewarded for lease renewals and improved operating efficiency, but none were willing to go there and most were not even interested.At this point, we've begun grooming an in-house resource as it appears this will be the only way we can get the type of PM which reflects our values.
