- Managed those 30 remodeled flats and apartments and a few commercial spaces for 12-15 years.
- Extended experience as a principal gave me great insight into care and maintenance of buildings and the importance of the initial quality of construction.
- Serving as a property manager gave experience with ongoing communication regarding improvements, repairs, rent issues, and occupancy conflicts.
- I have frequently reviewed and advised a family upon lease, tenancy, and building maintenance on approximately 60k square feet of "High Street" retail and office properties in the Beverly Hills commercial triangle. I have no direct economic interest in these properties but I believe that my involvement for 20+ years has given me another important level of commercial real estate experience.
- My most recent "project" was the 2003 purchase and complete custom renovation of a Lake Tahoe vacation rental. That investment involved, kitchen and bath remodels, adding an extra bathroom, new flooring, and stair upgrades, custom wood work, and updating of electrical and heating systems. A Great Value in Lake Tahoe!
