DM us if you'd like to discuss further:) Thanks Drew, I'll send you a message :)

Some solid areas to look at are:Riverside, Avondale, Murray Hill, San Marco, San Jose, Orange Park, southern part of west side, east Arlington, pockets of the Northside.I’m on my phone so a little tough to go in great detail, but you can message me and we can find a time to chat if you’re interested.Chris - thanks for the reply.

I sent a message to their CEO a week ago with no response.
