Old Growth Fir Properties LLC

"Question: When did you form Old Growth Fir Properties LLC?

Maurer: We actually formed that company in order to purchase this building. It’s very difficult to get a loan on a commercial property, and commercial properties are valued by how they perform as a business. There weren’t records for this as a business and so it was very difficult to purchase the building."
