Closed property in Sevierville last month, never trust anyone in this business we need to do our DD before making decisions.

VA assistants has dramatically reduced our work in the business and provided 24/7 monitoring for a fraction of the cost of local property management.

My business partner and I are working on gearing up now that the market is changing so if there's something we can team up with let me know.Good luck!
