Investor Fuel Show Transcript:
Brett McCollum (00:00.951)
All right, guys, welcome back to the show. Iโm your host, Brett McCollum, and Iโm here today with Anne-Michelle Frances. And today weโre going to talk about evictions. Thatโs right. Before we do, at Investor Fuel, guys, we help real estate investors, service providers, and real estate entrepreneurs to 2 5x their businesses to allow them to build the lives theyโve always wanted and the lives theyโve always dreamed of. Without further ado, Anne-Michelle, how are you?
Anne-Michelle Frances (00:25.334)
Iโm good. How are you?
Brett McCollum (00:26.909)
Doing good, doing good. Well, glad we got to catch up pre-show a little bit, get to know you a little bit. And Iโll be honest with you guys, I I say this a lot, and Michelle, do, but like, you guys are in for a treat on this one. Youโre fascinating. I have so many questions that even pre-show I wanted to ask you that we didnโt even get into. And I kind of mentally was like, I wanna save a lot of those questions for while weโre talking, you know? But guys, youโre in for a treat. But before we get too far into anything,
Amish will give us some background, who are you, some history, know, catch us up to speed.
Anne-Michelle Frances (00:59.488)
Yeah, my name is Anne Michelle Frances. Iโm the owner of Blueprint Evictions. Iโm a legal document assistant, senior paralegal and the founder. Iโve been working in evictions in California for the last 20 years, born and raised in the Bay Area. And Iโve been servicing the local Bay Area counties, raising four kids, homeschooling, following an entrepreneurial path as I also raise my kids to be entrepreneurs as well. So thereโs a lot to me. And I look forward to hearing all of your questions that you have for me.
Brett McCollum (01:27.923)
my gosh, yeah, Iโm sure you donโt want all of them, but letโs kind of rewind back, you know, letโs kind of talk, weโre gonna go on a little bit of a back and forth journey here, I think, okay, if thatโs okay. Evictions, likes how you started off the show, and I do want to talk about some of, like especially with the homeschooling and everything else too, because we talked about that as well. But you told me pre-show a little bit, where did you learn that?
because I think itโs gonna segue us into the next part of thing. But where did that come from? Itโs like, did you just wake up one day like, I want to be in evictions. Like, where did that come from?
Anne-Michelle Frances (02:06.252)
I love this question. So I graduated from Santa Clara University and I wanted to work in the corporate world. So I had an office with a window and all the things youโre supposed to have after you graduate. And then at one point, my dad, we were in a backyard barbecue and my dad said, Hey, and heโs a real estate attorney and had been practicing for 20 years at that time. Said, Hey, Iโm going to buy an eviction business. Do you want to run it? And I thought to myself, who on earth wants to do evictions and run an eviction business?
So initially I didnโt say no, but I said, well, are going to match my salary and give me all the things that I want? And he said, yep, Iโll match everything. And you can bring kids to and from work and have them there. And so about five years into my corporate life, I switched gears and went to work for my dad. And I didnโt know it at the time. I actually learned it after my dad retired back in 2023. But as Iโve spoken to different attorneys, theyโve told me that most attorneys donโt even get the training.
that I received from my dad. So my dad being an attorney for 20 years and then I worked for him for 18 years, I could go to him and ask him any question anytime, sit in his office and he took me under his wing and so I know a lot about evictions and I definitely specialize in it at this point.
Brett McCollum (03:06.481)
Wow.
Brett McCollum (03:21.117)
Yeah, yeah, because thatโs what I was thinking. was like, man, itโs just not the common landing spot. Like, you know what? I want to do evictions. thereโs all, especially when thereโs unique niches like that, thereโs always a story, right? Thatโs like, actually it canโt, but man, go dad, right? Like, good on him for, and then like, yes, and Iโll match your salary. And Iโm like, go, like, thatโs super cool.
Anne-Michelle Frances (03:44.694)
It definitely was at the same time. My ex husband and I, while we were still married, we were owning surf and skateboard shops. So we owned three different surf and skate shops over a 15 year time period. So while I was also working for my dad, we were also owning retail stores and it was just our first store was just down the street from the eviction office. And so it was like revolving doors for kids in and out all day long things happening. so while
Brett McCollum (03:56.102)
Wow.
Brett McCollum (04:07.985)
Anyway.
Anne-Michelle Frances (04:11.764)
It was an eviction business. It was really a family business and a family coming together, spending lunches, dinners, a lot of time together. And so it sounds bad on the outside that itโs evictions and legal, but on the inside, it was really the core of our family that was building and growing and becoming closer.
Brett McCollum (04:27.099)
I love that, thatโs incredible. And that kind of segues us a little bit into like, so now with homeschooling and you may mention that youโre raising your children as entrepreneurs, but isnโt that kind of how you were raised almost in some way too, right? Of like, know, attorneys like it or not, theyโre entrepreneurs, they gotta, you know, itโs their own business, youโve seen it, and then dad brings you into that, and then youโre running your own retail shops and things like that. And now itโs just continuing on that legacy with your kids.
Tell me about this, itโs so counter culture, like we talk free show, we also homeschool our kids, four kids as well, same story, I love the entrepreneurial mind that weโre trying to instill in them as well, but itโs so counter culture almost to one, homeschool, but two, to raise them to be entrepreneurs, not to go to college, not saying theyโre not gonna go to college, but not as go to college, get a degree, go find a job. Whatโs the conviction there for you with that?
Anne-Michelle Frances (05:27.736)
You know, I did all the things the right way in quotations. I went to a good high school, went to a good college, got a good job, got married, had kids, bought a house, did all the things in the right order. And it didnโt bring me joy. It didnโt bring me happiness. And it took a major shift during 2020 and moving to Mexico and staying there for two years with all of the kids that really reset everything in my mind. Prior to that, though, I was on the journey of
being location independent and homeschooling the kids so that we could travel anywhere. And that was where the homeschooling began. But then as I continued to have kids and as they were getting older, I did realize something because we were a screen free family and a no video game family. And right around age 12 for the three older kids so far, the younger one is only nine, right around age 12, they all picked a passion and they locked in.
And so homeschooling became about a dangling carrot. We had this thing that they wanted and we could basically bribe them to do anything because they had their dangling carrot. And as long as they got their dangling carrot, theyโd do anything to get their schoolwork done. So we sort of reverse engineered homeschooling versus started with homeschooling. It was whatโs your passion once you have that, okay, Iโll homeschool you.
Brett McCollum (06:31.623)
Mm-hmm.
Brett McCollum (06:44.263)
Wow, thatโs super cool. And yeah, and just gives kids like, a lot of kids donโt know what they want really, or they want all the things, right? You know, like I want this and this and also this and this and I want it now. And we have to teach them that focus and what that looks like and incentivizing them to that focus, which is really cool that you did that. I donโt know how much shares little or as much as you want, but like,
Talk about some of the successes that youโre seeing with your kids in that entrepreneurial endeavor that you guys are working on.
Anne-Michelle Frances (07:18.488)
I mean, number one is resiliency. Theyโre willing to make mistakes. Theyโre willing to take risks. Theyโre willing to pivot. And theyโre willing to try plan A, B, C, D, E. I mean, itโs in double letters at this point, because they donโt take no for an answer. Now, you get to a point where you say, maybe Iโve outgrown this path that I thought that I wanted to go on. But they never see it as a failure. Theyโre
Brett McCollum (07:35.485)
Yeah.
Anne-Michelle Frances (07:42.496)
You know, one of them is a big follower of Gary Vee, another oneโs a big follower of Mr. B. So theyโre also following people that inspire them to work really hard. And also, they call it like the ping pong effect in our house. You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Well, me and my four kids, are five of us, and weโre constantly ping ponging ideas and strategies and things off of each other. And I think thatโs also whatโs leading to their really intensive growth as they continue to get older.
Brett McCollum (08:02.194)
Yeah.
Brett McCollum (08:10.705)
Yeah, thatโs incredible. Yeah, my six-year-old, she wants to be an ice cream maker.
Anne-Michelle Frances (08:16.91)
Love it. My nine-year-old wants to be a Target checkout girl. So she hasnโt found her passion yet.
Brett McCollum (08:20.933)
Yeah, thatโs it. They change or theyโฆ But hey, you know what? Like part of that conversation at this age is even like, well, how does that work? And you make them think about it. Like, well, what does that look like? Then we start talking about supply, demand, cost, gross, net, all the things like, and so sheโll go into her home, under our playroom. She has a little ice cream making set thing, know, a fake one. Sheโll bring me out.
Anne-Michelle Frances (08:32.11)
Mm-hmm.
Brett McCollum (08:49.917)
until I take my order, bring it out to me, did you make this in house? Yes, I made this in house. How much did it cost you to make it? And weโre teaching it through play at this age, but weโre teaching it. And now my oldest loves coffee, the coffee business. And so heโs asked him anything about it, like where do get the best beans? How do you roast them? Why do you roast them? How much do cook? Like all these things. And then he has a passion for serving.
which is really incredible. I want to say I have that same passion, right? But I have to force it at the end. Itโs a natural thing, so he gets to exercise that. So I love seeing you talk about that, because itโs a huge passion in our home. ultimately, I think your kids are, well, your nine-year-old is right around there, ours are, oldest is 11, and then down to two.
So weโve got the littles, but itโs really cool seeing youโre doing it and starting to see some results from that. for me, itโs validation that weโre on the right track. Theyโre going to be OK.
Anne-Michelle Frances (09:55.95)
Well, I still often have that fear or had that fear many years ago when youโre doing things so differently and no one else is doing that. And then youโre taking this chance. I hope I donโt completely mess them up because everyone else has video games and everyone else has a cell phone. So if I donโt give my kids cell phones till 15 and 1 1.5, am I completely messing them up? Are they ever going to catch up? And when I talked to them about
entrepreneurship and how much do things cost, just like youโre talking about. When Iโm going a different route than the common core, and my kids wonโt necessarily be at grade level if they go back to school with other kids, am I totally messing them up or am I doing something really good for them? You have no idea. Itโs just a toss. Your fingers are crossed.
Brett McCollum (10:38.749)
The unfortunate, yeah, the unfortunate thing for us is we have all these playbooks for how business works, this works, how that works, like, find me a parenting, like thereโs tons of parenting books, but thereโs no playbook of like, this is the recipe that works. This is the one thatโs, you know, weโre gonna make, I was, my parents were, made mistakes, Iโve made, like, you, Iโm sure youโve made, weโre gonna make them, you know, but hopefully what rings through more than anything is,
We love our kids. We try to set them for the best path that we possibly can and we support that in every way possible. And I think thatโs the main objective, So, yeah, I am gonna ask you this too though, because you touched on it only briefly. We donโt have to talk real long about it, but Mexico, question mark?
Anne-Michelle Frances (11:27.374)
Yeah, yeah, 2020, we decided to sell the house, sell everything in it and move and actually van life. So we bought a van, we were converting a van and then we went on vacation to Mexico and we got to Mexico and I didnโt want to leave. So we were in Baja, Baja, so Cabo San Lucas. So I rented a car and the kids and I started driving and weโฆ
Brett McCollum (11:29.287)
Tell me more.
Brett McCollum (11:44.987)
Wow, where did you guys go? What part? area? Okay. Yep.
Anne-Michelle Frances (11:55.352)
kind of road trip through Baja. At this point, it was just me and the four kids. And we kept on road tripping. We found one little town that we kept on going back to. Youโll have to email me separately if you want to hear about my small town. And we ended up loving it there and then planting there and living there for two years, putting the kids in school. And my ex-husband ended up converting the van, driving it down. And the kids would go back and forth between his van on the beach and my.
the condo I was living in. So we just created this entire community. And the crazy thing is we werenโt the only ones. There were a lot of people that went down to Baja and just didnโt leave and stayed there during COVID and years after. And then a lot of us ended up coming back in 2022. So now we go back and we still have friends there and our local friends are there. And a lot of people have moved back and my son, one of his Baja friends is now local. And so he has friends in California that are from Baja experience.
Brett McCollum (12:48.928)
cool.
Anne-Michelle Frances (12:50.474)
It was an amazing little capsule of time that changed me from the inside out.
Brett McCollum (12:55.965)
I bet so. I think a lot of entrepreneurs, dream of something like that even. I know a handful of people that are expats that now live abroad that run great businesses. Iโll be honest, I have. Iโve thought about it. like, that might be fun. In trying to put practically actively doing that, Iโm nerding out over here. like, this is so cool.
Anne-Michelle Frances (13:25.004)
Yeah, well, let me back up for a minute, though, if you want to talk about that. Because it was when I was still married, Megโs husband and I sat down and said, whatโs our five to 10 year plan? And we said we both want to be location independent. the process of homeschooling the kids was part of that, slowly homeschooling them. And so I went back to my eviction office. At this point, Iโd been working there for maybe 14 years, 15 years. And I made the entire office remote, which
Brett McCollum (13:25.584)
Anne-Michelle Frances (13:51.276)
If you know anything about a law office, you have to touch papers. Lawyers donโt want anything to be remote. So I spent a couple of years making the office remote, and it finally was. And I went to my dad and said, the office is remote. I donโt want to come in anymore. This is pre-COVID. And he said, I have no idea what youโre talking about. Of course youโre coming in the office. I was like crushed. Itโs like, here I am plugging along going into the office. It was maybe six months later that COVID hit. And we never went back to the office.
Brett McCollum (13:54.449)
Yeah.
Brett McCollum (14:07.165)
Yeah.
Brett McCollum (14:17.511)
Wow.
Anne-Michelle Frances (14:19.518)
I moved to Mexico and I actually three times the income of the eviction business, even while there was an eviction moratorium, working remotely. My dad had no idea how I did it and he basically passed on the reins and said, whatever youโre doing, keep doing it and Iโve never been in an office again.
Brett McCollum (14:36.893)
Thatโs incredible. Yeah, mean, there was a lot of weird, hard, difficult times during COVID for sure, but there was a lot of good things that produced out of it. Obviously that being one of them, but perfect segue for us. Eviction. You come into it. I mean, itโs a specialty at this point for you. The biggest thing I wanna talk more about, I think that would be really valuable is,
kind of some best practices before they need you. Before we, before we realize state investors need to call Ann-Michelle up, you know, and say, I need your help, you know. And Iโll make a disclaimer for you, you can re-say it if you want. Guys, Ann-Michelleโs out of California. These are, what sheโs saying is based in California, but Iโm confident there are principles that no matter where we are, we can take with us. So, talk a little high level, give us some best practices before, God, before we need you.
What have you noticed over the years?
Anne-Michelle Frances (15:35.564)
Yes. Yeah, I will throw out there. Iโm not an attorney. This is not legal advice. This is not intended to be legal advice. So itโs informational purposes only. The main thing is you have to be in compliance with the laws. So you need to know what the laws are in your particular state. That said, California is one of the strictest states in the entire country. I think New York is the only one that leads it. I believe Oregon and Washington are following very closely behind.
Knowing that it is so strict in California. So if youโre running your your business like the old the Wild West, then youโre not going to get far and you will probably get sued if you are running a well oiled machine, then youโre going to do well. But you do need to know that the laws are changing regularly. And thatโs one of the main things is that people arenโt staying up to date with the laws. Some of the most basic ones arenโt being followed at a minimum.
Brett McCollum (16:21.106)
Right.
Anne-Michelle Frances (16:27.906)
You should always screen your tenants. You should always have them fill in out an application. You should always do a credit check. Now I say that lightly in terms of credit check because every state is different. Some states you can run a background check. Some states you can run a criminal check. Some states you can run credit checks. Some states you canโt. And some you could be in violation of discrimination or fair housing laws. So you do need to be very careful. And I always recommend a third party.
actually does that work for you, the tenant screening portion of it, or a property management company that can actually screen your tenants because thatโs most important part of the process is getting really good tenants in there and knowing that theyโre good tenants from the start.
Brett McCollum (17:11.025)
Good. So maybe donโt just take them at their word that Iโm a good guy.
Anne-Michelle Frances (17:15.598)
I mean, weโve got tenants that have their same M.O.โs and itโs if theyโre rushing to get in, if they have some situation thatโs going on in their life thatโs pressing and so now it becomes your problem, keep in mind their emergency is not your emergency because thereโs probably a reason theyโre rushing out of the last place.
Brett McCollum (17:29.784)
These are.
their immediate, their emergency is large, probably a red flag. Yeah.
Anne-Michelle Frances (17:37.87)
It is or if they have all cash, thatโs another red flag Why do you have so much cash to just spend? you have money in the bank? I also see a frequent mo is writing a personal check. I just have personal checks All right first month last month They put it all in the personal check takes two months two weeks for that check to bounce and then theyโre already in they already have the keys and then you have to go through the entire process So thatโs a common mo that I see
Brett McCollum (17:45.105)
Mm-hmm.
Brett McCollum (18:00.463)
Ooh, yeah.
Interesting. You mentioned kind of, we were talking about some pre-show stuff, you mentioned like a framework almost thatโs really kind of cool. I love acronyms by the way, it sticks in my head. Can you talk a little more about that?
Anne-Michelle Frances (18:17.996)
Yeah, after working for 20 years in evictions and the majority of my clients are self-managing landlords, the do-it-yourselfer that doesnโt want to pay the property manager and wants to keep that extra profit. I have devised a code system and I really feel like if this is followed and this is something that you can create as your own process, you can be successful as a do-it-yourselfer. If this is something you canโt do and itโs just not your personality type, then you should hire a property manager and itโs called my code system.
So itโs consistency, communication, documentation, enforcement. And what that means is you start with consistency. You have to do the same thing every time with all of your tenants. You canโt treat one one way and another one another way and then raise this oneโs rent because he made you mad last month or keep that oneโs rent low because you know his mom. You have to be consistent on all your properties and run it like a business, not like a friendship circle. Thatโs number one.
Brett McCollum (19:11.421)
Good morning.
Anne-Michelle Frances (19:15.586)
Thatโs consistency. Then thereโs communication. You have to be able to communicate with your tenant. Iโll say the number one time and reason that clients contact me is because their tenants stopped talking to them. Thereโs a fine line in communication though. You donโt want to harass them. Thereโs no texting nonstop. Thereโs no showing up at their door and knocking. You have to do things within the confines of the law, but definitely communicate with your tenants. And if somethingโs going on in your mind, talk to them about it. Next step is documentation. You want to document.
Anything thatโs happening on the property whether itโs through warning notices or non-payment of rent notices You want to have a paper file and thatโs really going to help you avoid any possible Discrimination or retaliation claims because if anyone asks you a question You have a paper file that follows what happened versus you trying to remember what may have happened on that property and Ultimately, itโs enforcement. Yeah, it may cost money and you may have lost rent. But if your tenants arenโt
listening, if theyโre not communicating, if theyโre not being consistent, and even after documentation theyโre not following the rules, you need to enforce the rules and show your tenants that youโre serious and that is usually where you end up with an eviction. But it is a last resort as an eviction, but it is a option. So donโt ignore it as an option. Sometimes it is the fastest option and sometimes itโs not.
Brett McCollum (20:31.133)
Yeah, man.
thereโs a lot to unpack guys if youโre listening, rewind back a couple of minutes there and re-listen to it again because no matter where weโre at, right, I think that rings through Alaska to Hawaii to California to New York and everywhere in between, those principles are sound and they work. I really especially love the consistency piece. I think in all business, the missing link is between success and not success is consistency.
Anne-Michelle Frances (21:04.248)
Mm-hmm.
Brett McCollum (21:04.459)
And itโs interesting that you brought that up even in the eviction process. prior, like before you get to eviction, even the landlord process, like a consistency. I really appreciate you saying that.
Anne-Michelle Frances (21:08.238)
Mm-hmm.
Anne-Michelle Frances (21:15.614)
I also wanted to throw out there that property managers are worth their weight in gold. So if a landlord wants to continue to manage their property on their own, thatโs fine. They should be investing the same amount of money they would be investing in a property manager in their ongoing education because property management and property ownership is no longer easy.
even throughout the entire country, it is changing and continues to change. So you need to know whatโs going on because itโs no longer valid to say, I didnโt know. Judges donโt really appreciate that. No.
Brett McCollum (21:39.569)
Right.
Brett McCollum (21:46.941)
Ignorance is not bliss. Yeah, ignorance is not bliss. Yeah, especially, I mean, weโre in the information age, right? So at our fingertips, we can access information. But what I think is really especially cool is having people like you on here. This is a specialty piece in things like, you know, for us to be able to connect with you and, you know, have opportunities to discuss like some, like I said earlier, best practices, things like that. Or, God forbid, you find yourself in a situation where you need
help, a lot of us, we donโt really plan for that. So having people in network that we can find, you mentioned property management, really great for that. Let me ask you this, this is a good question. Thereโs a million property management companies out there, just like there are a million attorneys, doctors, everything else in between.
a million real estate agents, know, investors, there are good ones and there are bad ones, you know. What do you identify as maybe the top two or three things that we should look for if weโre gonna go down that property management route?
Anne-Michelle Frances (22:56.952)
To be honest, as an eviction service provider, I do evictions for property managers, self-managing landlords. I do them for everyone. And so Iโm the person who interfaces with the actual record keeping of whoever that person is, letโs say the property manager. So I can see the people who have their documents in order and who donโt. I would call your eviction company and say, who are the best property managers that you work with? Even good property managers have evictions.
Brett McCollum (22:59.677)
Yeah.
Anne-Michelle Frances (23:24.494)
Itโs a matter of numbers when youโre talking about, 500, 1000, 3000 doors. Itโs a matter of numbers. Youโre going to have evictions. So Iโd want to know who sends you the best paperwork. I would start with an eviction company because a lot of things can be very subjective. And eviction companies really know who has everything in order, who doesnโt wait three years before they actually take action, who takes action on properties when someoneโs not complying.
Brett McCollum (23:25.563)
Yeah, business.
Brett McCollum (23:41.661)
Mm-hmm.
Brett McCollum (23:51.549)
Perfect, mean thatโs perfect, because I think thatโs the best thing for us in the investment space is like, you know, when weโre doing our underwriting, when weโre looking out for deals and weโre looking out for the numbers and how they scratch, too many times if weโre doing the buy and hold strategy where weโre looking to grow our rental portfolios and things like that, too often we overlook the what is a vacancy, vacancy is a big number that people should account for, but the what ifs.
what if thereโs eviction, what if this is the case and weโre not really underwriting for that. And itโs not just financial, it largely is financial, but itโs the mental aspect of what to do when that happens and then that way thereโs not lost time like you mentioned a few times now. So itโs really good for us to keep getting this information dialed into us more repeatedly so that we are making better decisions before we even get started. So I appreciate you saying that.
Anne-Michelle Frances (24:44.674)
Yeah, I do. I do want to emphasize that in California specifically, because I donโt know that this is every state, but probably the more liberal states like New York and California, you want to probably talk to an eviction company before you purchase a property that has tenants in it, because a lot of, sorry, a lot of people make the move to buy the property because itโs a fantastic deal. But then once theyโve purchased it, they realize, wait, there are tenants in the property that are protected and I canโt just remodel it and raise the rent.
Brett McCollum (24:58.852)
yeah.
Anne-Michelle Frances (25:14.572)
So California protects a lot of tenants. The majority of tenants are very protected. And so you have to be careful in that regard also. So especially in California, I would find out from an eviction specialist, is this a property that you can do what you intend to do with if you were to buy it?
Brett McCollum (25:14.663)
Mm-hmm.
Brett McCollum (25:31.217)
Yeah, if people are, because obviously you have a ton and a wealth of information, especially you guys in California, this is a no-brainer, but how would people, whatโs the best way to get a hold of you and connect with you and ultimately if they have questions, whatโs the best way for that to happen?
Anne-Michelle Frances (25:36.781)
is no.
Anne-Michelle Frances (25:48.29)
Yeah, so if itโs eviction related in California, you can go to blueprintevictions.com. If you want to know more about me or follow my Instagram or my podcast that Iโm doing with my kids or all of the other things as they continue to develop, including landlord coaching and things like that, you can go to my website, which is ann-michelle.com. Thatโs A-N-N-E-M-I-C-H-E-L-L-E.com. So those are the two ways that you will always be able to find me.
Brett McCollum (26:15.549)
Yeah, and guys, weโll have that in the show notes for you too. But man, this has been great. I really love being able to talk at a high level about a topic that is often overlooked, but very ever important because all it takes, honestly, and youโve probably seen this, being in the industry as long as you have, all it takes is one problem like this. I mean, the mom and pop investor, the mom and pop person that has aโฆ
a tenant property, they donโt have 100 properties that if one goes bad, itโs gonna be okay. So all the more important to get this information out there. So guys, if youโre listening and you have properties or youโre looking at properties, especially, golly, if youโre local in California, donโt wait till it happens so you get ahead of it, right? Isnโt that kind of a lot of what youโre saying? Yeah.
Anne-Michelle Frances (27:07.852)
Absolutely, be preventative and if it happens to you, then make sure professionals handling it for you so that you can rest at night, you can sleep, and you can just know that itโs going as smoothly as possible, as quickly as possible, but you need to make sure that you have a good professional on your side who knows what theyโre doing.
Brett McCollum (27:16.519)
