This video takes you through several
apartments and units and it’s as if you are right there with me
seeing and hearing everything that I see that you should know about.
I discuss what I see even if it’s not commonly observed but I also
discuss ways to solve the problem and why. There are close-ups of
the problems I see so you can really see what I’m talking about in
close up details.
MANAGEMENT

Property Management Training Class in Long Beach. The certification
required a session on Building code requirements where I go over key
points on the City Of Los Angeles LAHD NTC (Notice to Comply. I
describe and discuss all relevant and most frequent issues when
managing property. No body was falling asleep and many questions
were answered.
BOOTLEGSS
In this video we discuss several bootlegs
and un-approved construction issues. You are right there from the
front with me, inside discussing why it’s an issue and what clues
are left for an inspector to see in the open. I discuss problems
usually found with bootlegs and frequently overlooked issues that
you should know about. You will never walk by a bootleg without
questioning and remembering this video.
