I spent 10 years in corporate finance for insurance companies so numbers are “my thing”.

Here is me: 20+ years appraising real estate, 10+ years energy efficiency contractor for buildings, 25+ years as a landlord; 40+ years composing music; studies in psychology, music, theology, investing, building science; past licenses - appraiser, LEED AP, RESNET, BPI BA/EP, GC, HVAC; Current license RE Broker; Incorporated as an appraisal firm, builder (one house), energy efficiency contractor (2 x); own 4 properties with 14 total bedrooms.
