Questions & Answers

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

Last year we helped a client restructure three pieces of real estate saving her almost $5000.00 per month while putting a seller finance deal together with another client that created positive cash flow for her. The buyer client tied up a piece of real estate that ended up being needed 24 months earlier due to a condemnation of another piece so the seller is getting cashed out earlier and the buyer is building earlier overall win win.
