Was a background check done?

Also, what is your trusted company that handles credit/background checks?

I see you are located in Santa Cruz, which is one of many beautiful pocket markets here in CA, where you have astronomical real estate prices along the ocean and lots of opportunities in the "sea shanty villages" more inland.

With my background, I am a little hesitant to leave my full blown accounting package and other programs that I use but I may do so starting in 2015 with this one.

I want to move a little faster, especially while interest rates are low.Anyway, that was just a little background.

I specialize in construction, because construction is a large part of my background and knowledge, but I also have several clients who own and manage commercial apartment buildings and strip malls.

If they are interested they can apply and pay for the background checks.

Our backgrounds and situations are very diverse but there may be similarities and/or experiences to learn from.
