The battle of working with my wife, who is a very talented designer, and demanding in her desires, but not always understanding the challenges of construction and rehabs and uneven walls, or measurements that are not quite right, or how it is next to impossible to put something where she wants it.

The area is always expanding the business district as well as downtown, from Access to low cost regional talent, competitive real estate cost, strong work ethics and excellent facilities for sports, shopping, leisure and healthcare.

Raising money is definitely and important talent but the cart should not be before the horse.

If the management company is excellent at their craft and they attract and retain top talent in related services (like contractors and agents, since there is a lot of overlap between PM and these fields), then the agents and contractors may be far better than the average agent in that same metro.Conversely, if that PM company is not led by a skilled business tactician they might be tempted to retain a shiza agent in their ranks so that they can capture some referral booty, with no mind to whether or not the end user client is getting good representation.I see both things happen in my market consistently, and though it doesn't create a helpful rule of thumb, hopefully it does help you in your decisions ahead.

It's great to be joining such a talented and knowledgeable community.

We are all blessed with God-given talent and gifts!

Diversify talent by hiring professionals who specialize in various job function arms of the firm.

You actually have to hire people to do the work and that may include subcontractors (which you can already do without a license) or employees which, unless you keep them busy you are unlikely to attract the top talent there.

I found where my talents were and was able to use it in a place that appreciates them.

I never would have guessed that you would have had that hidden talent.
