9am appointment was worth getting up at 6:30 am for. Great little building on West 71st Street. Walked through with the property manager and saw all the units. The Owner is looking for expert advice on how to maximize his rent roll. I saw one floor that has two separate apartments on it that I think should be combined together and a one bedroom with a very awkward kitchen that I think should be converted to a studio, actually. The Owner of the building came eventually and we had a good discussion about his options. I really enjoy this aspect of what I do. It's great to work for Landlords. It takes a lot of courage to invest in Manhattan Real Estate, especially to buy buildings, so it excites me when I get to work so closely with them on their investment. Speaking of experience, I met a 19 year old girl today who wants to break into Real Estate. She was referred to me by someone I know from the Hampton's. She was so nervous meeting me, her voice was cracking, and I really don't think I am THAT intimidating. The whole thing was really adorable. I told her my story and encouraged her to get her license if she wants to do Rentals. She seemed mature, although nervous, very likable. Now I just have to decide whether to take her under my wing. To be determined.. knowing me, I probably will. I got the feeling from our conversation that a positive female mentor would be a real impact on this young woman's life. Being able to do that for someone is probably impossible for me to resist..we shall see.
