Excellent service for a very good price. I didn't do the 1 hour consultation I just paid the fee and we agreed he would simply answer the few questions I had. (I didn't want to take up an hour of his time to answer the 3 or 4 questions I had). He gave me an estimate to get me and my wife a Rentista Residency and it was very reasonable. He answered all of my questions and even went so far as to give me a list of things I needed to do in order to achieve our goal...
