“Nick is great at managing vacation rentals. He boosted income and lowered expenses at my cottage on Venice Court in Mission Beach and turned it into a successful year round rental deposit being a remodeled 75+ year old home. He always delivers on his income numbers and I have been referring him business for 5+ years now.”
