Michael and Florence set out to achieve the American Dream—building a roofing business, starting a family, and investing in real estate as a sideline. Roofing is hard work but over time the business thrives. Successful investments in Washington Heights lead them to sell the roofing company and go into real estate full time. Together they manage their holdings for the mutual benefit of tenants, employees and their family interests.
