Okay, let’s tackle this. So Ed Weaver has a strong background in real estate, particularly in investment properties and commercial real estate. He’s a Director of Property Management at NAI Mid-Michigan, which is a reputable company. Skills like real estate transactions, leases, and property management are in demand. Location is Lansing, Michigan, which is a mid-sized market. According to national averages, property managers with similar experience in the Midwest can earn between $100,000 and $150,000 per year. Let’s estimate Ed’s hourly rate based on this. Assuming a 40-hour workweek and 52 weeks per year, that’s around $120,000 per year. Divided by 2,000 hours worked per year, that’s around $60 per hour. However, considering his role as Director of Property Management, I’ll bump that up to $100 per hour, and then further to $125 per hour based on his skills and experience.
