Industry veteran Bill Ham to join the team at Broadwell Property Group

January 28, 2020 imreal Leave a comment

To reach our goals in this industry we needed to have a person with his level of talent and experience leading the team

ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB)
January 27, 2020

It was announced at the 2020 National MultiFamily Housing Council Annual Meeting (NMHC) that Bill Ham will join the team at Atlanta based Broadwell Property Group as the company’s first Chief Operating Officer. Ham is a well-known, 15+ year veteran of the industry with a proven track record of superior results during both bull markets and bear.

Formerly a private jet pilot for a world-renowned surgeon, Ham left the Corporate Aviation life and started Phoenix Residential Group with a single duplex and a dream. Over more than a dozen years he grew that company to include more than 1500 units spread over the state of Georgia along with a thriving Property Management Company. Trying to anticipate the market cycle, he spent the next few years divesting of many of those assets at the peak of the market making his investors substantial returns on their investment. During his entire career he has been a coach and a mentor to dozens of young, soon-to-be industry titans where, even today, he continues to teach them the ups and downs of the multifamily marketplace.

“I am so proud, and quite humbled, to have Bill join our team,” said Broadwell Founder & CEO Tony Morgan. “To reach our goals in this industry we needed to have a person with his level of talent and experience leading the team, but people with that type of resume are very hard to find and extremely difficult to recruit”. In his role as COO, Ham will be involved in all areas of the company with a focus on Acquisition, Asset Management, and Disposition.

Bill Ham said, “As a coach and a mentor to multifamily students I have always highly recommended that they be part of a team and try to find partners that complement their talents. However, ironically, I have always run my operations alone. When given the opportunity to partner with a team like Broadwell who has big plans, is well funded, full of ambition, and allows me to do what I do best, it is simply a no brainer.”

Broadwell Property Group is a multifamily investment firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. The mission of BPG is to identify and acquire under preforming multifamily properties in key markets around the Southeast United States. BPG provides the cash and experience necessary to renovate and/or repopulate these assets transforming them into highly profitable ventures in desirable locations. By following the company’s core objectives (simply called, The BPG3), the newly repositioned assets will yield a better home for the resident families we serve, a better property for the neighborhoods and communities we serve, and will command a superior return on investment for the investors and owners we serve.

How To Get Accurate Car Insurance Quotes

“Obtaining cheaper car insurance is not that difficult. There are several clever methods any driver can apply in order to save money on car insurance,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
January 27, 2020

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents several methods drivers can use in order to get lower car insurance rates.

For more info and free online quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-to-get-cheap-premiums-for-auto-insurance/

The main reason for shopping online is to obtain the lowest car insurance deal possible. However, policyholders that own only the minimum required coverage can be put in a difficult situation when an accident happens. In many cases, the minimum coverage is not enough to cover all the expenses. That’s why policyholders should get more than minimum coverage, and then try to lower their premiums.

To get lower car insurance rates, policyholders should follow the next tips:

Consider buying a safe car. One important factor that can affect the price of insurance is the safety rating of a vehicle. Drivers that are planning to buy a new vehicle should check what vehicles are considered safe and, thus easier and cheaper to insure. Drivers can check the safety ratings of vehicles by going to websites of IIHS and NHTSA. Policyholders can also improve the safety rating of their current vehicles. There are numerous aftermarket safety devices that can make a car safer. However, drivers should contact their insurers, before installing any safety devices, and ask them what safety devices are approved and how much they can save on insurance.

Attend and graduate a defensive driving course or a refresher course. During these courses, drivers will learn how to better identify road obstacles and how to avoid them. Also, they can improve their driving skills and learn new safe driving techniques. Graduating a defensive driving course will make the insurance company provide a discount that usually is 10% of insurance costs for the next 5 years. Senior drivers are recommended to attend refresher courses and get in touch with the latest safety devices and safe driving tips.

Combine multiple policies offered by the same company. One effective way that can help policyholders to save money on car insurance, is to combine all the available policies to one insurer. Besides saving money on insurance, bundling policies can be convenient, as policyholders will have one contract with one carrier for all of their insurance needs.

Driver fewer miles and see if you qualify for a low-mileage discount. Insurance companies consider that drivers that spend less time in traffic are less likely to be involved in accidents. For this reason, they encourage drivers to drive less by offering a substantial low-mileage discount. To qualify for this discount, drivers will have to drive fewer miles than a certain limit that is different from one provider to another.

Seven New Tips For Getting Better Auto Insurance Rates

“Being a safe driver, having safety devices installed and making smart coverage changes will help you save money on car insurance,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
January 27, 2020

Car insurance rates are determined after analyzing multiple factors, including car model, driving history and ZIP code. While some factors, like state legislation, are beyond driver’s control, other rating factors can be modified and bring the costs down. Find out how to get better premiums:

Use online car insurance quotes. Brokerage websites are recommended to complete car quotes. Make sure you complete the same information on all the questionnaires. After you received at least three car quotes, start analyzing them in order to find the most advantageous deal. Also, check all available discounts offered by each insurer.

Carefully adjust deductible levels for comprehensive and collision coverage. Deductibles are the money paid by the policyholder before the insurance policy kicks in. By raising deductibles, the policyholder will lower his premium rates. However, choose a deductible that can be easily paid.

Avoid committing traffic violations or accidents. A driver with a clean driving record for a number of years is eligible for a safe driver discount. Most insurance companies will lower premium rates after three years of clean driving, while other insurers will wait even five years to provide this discount. Usually, this discount will lower insurance rates by 10%-20%.

Buy a car considered to be safe to drive. Factors like the likelihood of theft, costs to repair and safety record, determine the price of the insurance rates. Safety and anti-theft devices also play a significant role in determining the premium of a vehicle. Safety ratings can be improved by adding aftermarket safety and anti-theft devices.

Keep a good credit score. Insurance companies calculate rates based on how good or bad is a person’s credit score. Drivers with bad credit scores will pay higher insurance rates. Improve credit score by using balance transfer credit cards of short term loans with a credit union.

Do not redundant or useless full coverage. If the car is worth less than ten times the premium, having full coverage may not be cost-effective. Auto dealers and banks can tell you how much your car is worth it.

Pay for the whole policy in advance. Drivers can save even 10 percent form their premium, by choosing to pay the whole insurance once. In that way, they will no longer pay monthly administrative fees.

How To Get Accurate Car Insurance Quotes Online

“It is possible to get really accurate car insurance quotes. All you have to do is to provide correct info and use extended online questionnaires ”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
January 27, 2020

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that presents several tips to help drivers get accurate car insurance quotes.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/tips-getting-accurate-car-insurance-quotes/

Now is easy to compare insurance rates from multiple different insurance providers nationally and locally. After entering details pertaining to his vehicle and driving history, the user will get matched with several companies. Using this type of service, a user can quickly narrow down his search to companies that provide what he is looking for. Find out how to get accurate quotes and get free quotes from http://compare-autoinsurance.org.

Determine what coverage options should be purchased. It all starts with knowing what the driver wants to purchase. Besides buying the minimum coverage required by the state, a driver may need additional coverage, depending on his car and budget. People who own new, valuable models, should purchase full coverage. People that do not have a solid health/life insurance coverage, should also consider buying PIP/Medicare insurance. If a person has more than one vehicle, it may be wise to opt for multi-vehicle plans. Also, consider bundling policies. This will save drivers a lot of money. Besides that, determine the most convenient deductible levels and add-ons.

Determine the available money. Knowing the available insurance money will help the driver opt for higher coverage limits, higher deductibles, and several add-ons. Online quotes will help drivers design a coverage plan within those limits. Furthermore, the driver can simulate “pay-in-full” and see the total cost of the coverage plan and how much he can save. With “pay-in-full”, drivers can save around 15%-20% on car insurance.

Be prepared to use relevant documents. Having the right documents near will help the driver provide correct info about the car’s model and sub-model, existing safety devices and driving history. Keep in mind that online questionnaires may also ask about things like the exact sub-model, including the number of cylinders. Providing exact info about the car is a must. Companies can void coverage if the driver sends the wrong data. Plus, keep in mind that companies use this data to calculate the Actual Cash Value, which is used to reimburse the drivers. Sending wrong data can result in a lower ACV.

Use realistic annual mileage approximations. Most companies consider 12.000 to be the average annual mileage for a driver. Users are asked to input the annual mileage, by either adding the value, selecting it from a range or providing the approximate daily mileage. Lying to the insurance company will seriously backfire. Claims can be denied if the ulterior technical inspection shows much higher mileage values.

Extended questionnaires offer a higher degree of accuracy. It is well-known the fact that a more complex questionnaire will provide better results. A user who fills out a long, in-depth survey about the vehicle history, driving history, use of the vehicle, credit history, etc. and he will get a much more accurate quote. Short quote forms, while convenient, fast, and easy to use, will often times be very inaccurate. Spending 5-10 minutes to fill in all the details will be worth the time. Reputable companies embed complex questionnaires and high-speed rate calculators. They provide really accurate online quotes.
