Are you looking to start or expand your transitional housing program for women? I am working with a dynamic group of real estate investors with many properties available for transitional housing operators in Los Angeles. You will have access to beautiful new properties and a likelihood of infusion of donors. The properties are part of a $400 million investment fund that is being returned to the investors in six months, and they will want to know where to invest their money next. It could be your nonprofit or for-profit transitional housing program that you will receive free assistance to showcase the housing program for the investors so they can see the social impact of their properties. We have properties ready now that are ready for you. You will work alongside real estate developers, builders, and investors willing to provide expert mentorship and training to you. You will also have free grant writing services. If you are passionate about housing women in need and have excellent qualifications such as good credit and some funds to start operating, please contact me by text or phone at 310-597-0666. We will set up an interview with our investors for this golden opportunity to significantly impact the homeless crisis in Los Angeles. Felicia Edelman, Esq.
