Meet Joe Michel

Before the blazer, there were duplex rehabs in Inglewood, California, a seller-financed five-unit in Daytona Beach, and a turnkey single-family in Lexington. Weekends are family, guitar, and jiu jitsu. The burger argument is settled at Jack Brown's.

Clients hire him for the same reason investors did: he answers, he knows the numbers, and he does not pretend a cove lot is main-lake frontage.
