@Tom MattinsonI misunderstood your initial post and thought you were interested in formal training.While a formal education may be useful, as a property owner, I am far more concerned with your experience and demonstrated ability to get the job done.It reminds me if interviewing a young MBA graduate years ago who had no experience in our industry, but, as a result of his education, was confident he had all the answers.
