This property is in very bad shape and would need a contractor or a very skilled rehabber to get this thing repaired and resold.

Include the handles of other companies, organizations, and influencers in your posts.

Currently I am middle management within a law enforcement organization.

Skills needed are drywall repair, painting, and possibly some landscaping.  

I live in the town we graduate college from, work for one of the local universities, and have great ties into multiple student organizations.

My husband and I just filed our Articles of Organization with the state of SC for our LLC and now I can apply for the EIN.
