In the Wake of Natural Disasters
I live in Norwalk, CT and had 3 feet of water in the street in front of my house, a foot of water in my garage and lost power from Saturday night to Wednesday afteroon. I had neighbors who were worse off since they have basements that flooded. My heart goes out to people who had it worse than I did with storm damage and some whose health and safety were impacted.
Natural Disaster Property Impacts
Fortunately I was home to get my home prepared for the storm including moving items out of the reach of rising waters and then cleaning up afterards. However, when a home is vacant or the owners are out of town, the house and its contents are vulnerable.
I believe the necessity of having a property manager looking after a vacant home is more obvious during and after times of natural disasters. Who in your neighborhood has a vacant home that could benefit from your watchful eye?

I am a big believer in reading books to help me continue to learn and grow. One of my favorite books early on was the E-Myth Revisited by Micheal Gerber that helped me “work on my business” more instead of “in my business” to have a plan for business growth and consistency of service.
