"Mike completely over-delivered as an owner's representative for our 38-paper lot entitlement approval. He is not just extremely knowledgeable, but you can tell the city staff, engineers, etc. treat him with an extra level of respect because of the way he effectively and professionally handles conversations. The fact that he has 20+ years of experience in this field is very obvious from the time he starts consulting until the time you hear him communicate with key players. He really went to bat for us. My only regret about working with Mike was not bringing him in sooner into our project. Before Mike stepped in, we were struggling with an unresponsive engineer and unresponsive city staff in a project that turned into a stalled nightmare. Mike came in and turned it around for us over a few months. Can't recommend enough." - Alfredo E.

"The value in this subdivision bundle is in the 25+ hours of personal history and experience that is imparted. The subdivision process is fairly easy to understand, particularly after the first one or two. But all the little "gotchas" that municipalities put into their ordinances trip the unwary, and the "death by a thousand paper cuts" that he has experienced helps all the rest of us avoid the paper cuts." - Jim H.

"The information that Mike and his team compile is invaluable. I've worked with Planning & Zoning departments in two states in a few counties, but once I reviewed some of Mike's material, I realized I was only looking at a little square of gray leathery skin. Meaning this exception list showed me the proverbial full elephant that I was really staring at, and the opportunity that that body of knowledge represented nationwide. Intelligently written and not sales-y, this product can't be found anywhere else, and applied correctly can be worth a ton of money." - Alicia P. 

"Love the underutilized properties course. Makes you see a whole new world of possibilities. Overall,a great course that could only add value as an investor."  - Martin Z.
