I wouldn't be anywhere close to my 2500 units of apartments without my team, my employees, my mentors, my mistakes (lessons) learned and my family support!

Whatever it cost to do the job (this includes overhead, paying employees, etc) is what was agreed to.

I just wanted to know what kind of leverage I could employee to sweeten the pot.
