Hey, We are here in the Caribbean and have a real estate firm in Saint Lucia ( Golden Hour Group ) . 

I can tell you I have been in this situation (where a landlord wanted the SSN and credit report to sue a tenant for damages), and I discussed it with the law firm that published the article.

I'm a broker and investor in NYC, I run my own firm. 

Happy to connect, I'm with a design & architecture firm in Florida.

The boss is firm with it being Wildwood Crest only, very close to the beginning of the boardwalk, and 1-2 blocks from the water.

Some have raised tens of millions of dollars for their own startups and venture capital firms.

I agree, I think design build firms are a little better than just GC 

None of the names listed above appear to be pivoting into the homeowner association space, yet here in the northeast USA it's still quite a fragmented industry outside of the major urban centers with established and deep-pocketed PM firms. 

I agree with @Michael Plaks that the pricing should be discussed prior to the start of the engagement.My firm does not like the hourly invoice method because I find it can potentially cause anxiety to clients who may not know the final price.if you were a nice client and paid an hourly fee, maybe there was a lot of time towards 'setting' you up as a client(inputting your properties, prior year carryforwards, depreciation schedule, etc) which won't be a cost for you going forward.Best of luck.

I have a management firm that has filed the necessary paperwork and received a judgment, but it is apparently a time consuming process to then get a writ of restitution and then to schedule the sheriff to evict.
