Owners and real estate investors often feel overwhelmed and anxious about managing their properties all alone as they have to do background checks, income verifications, rental references, etc. However, on today’s show our amazing guest, Tiea Vincent, will let us know how you can take that burden off of your shoulders and look out for alternatives that bring you peace of mind.
Tiea, who will serve as NEFAR secretary in 2022, began her real estate career first as a leasing agent and assistant manager in multi-family communities on the Southside and in Orange Park. In 2017, she opened RoundTable Realty Property Management, to become one of the few women in Florida under the age of 34 to own and broker her own firm.
