Fraud, Flood, Fire and a Pandemic - Randy Langenderfer
Before things get better, they get from bad to worse. This was what Randy Langenderfer experienced with a property a few years ago. First, he discovered that the property manager had been committing fraudulent acts. Then, he needed to deal with flood and fire incidents to the property, not to mention the outbreak of COVID-19.
The good thing was that he did not change course and eventually found the light at the end of the tunnel. Patience is a virtue, and Randy proved that this is a piece of advice that actually works.
