He also adds value to my business by helping source tenants thru our collective network, manage subcontractors, and handle my construction-- so I can focus on my economic engine- sales day job.My business model-- I'm sitting on 3 duplexes and 1 quadplex in solid parts of the Twin Cities-- in young, vibrant areas near breweries, coffee shops and great restaurants...
