It created a fresh awareness of hurricane protection.

I bought this property at 23 years-old working as a full-time financial analyst in Santa Monica.

I grew up there, so I have some familiarity with certain neighborhoods.I don't have a lot of capital, but I have an extremely excellent financial history with a high credit score and very low DTI.Time to wrap up, don't want this post to get too long.I'm looking forward to interacting with all of you on the site, and here's hoping I can make this work with your help.Thanks,- Ray
