They've replaced me and my job, which is basically to interface with management, and they've also taken over management, and the owner is in theory at the top of the food chain, so the Turkey Companies have extra layers and still there's room for cash flow to the owner?

Lots of buyers in Baldwin County (Spanish Fort/Daphne/Fairhope), great school districts, newer homes, new developments, lots of chain restaurants and businesses.

My upscale condominium is owned by a large hotel chain, and they have given us 50% off rent since last March.
