I have entitled densest developments host cities have seen in decades and utilized my expertise with California housing laws to help clients reach maximum density and profits with their properties. I have found investors who provided me with $750,000 in cashiers checks to purchase default notes at the courthouse steps as well as helped neighbors and friends get plans through the planning commission and city council (when necessary). And, I have never lost a vote at a city council. Show less
