This team consists of an Investor Focused Agent, Lender, Contractor, and PM.Read this article on the "core 4".

I have my own properties throughout the area, and have worked with many contractors, PMs, lenders, insurers and attorneys that I can recommend.

I learned how to maintain a home, work with real estate professionals, contractors, interview prospects, etc.
