RENTAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT POSITION: Owner/Sole Proprietor NATURE: I plan to rent my prior residence in SC. It will be a long-term rental, 6 months or more. I do not plan to spend a significant amount of time during normal business hours in this activity. INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 4 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 1 START DATE: 08/01/2025 ADDRESS: Waxhaw NC, United States DESCRIPTION: Property management/landlord. I will engage a realtor to find suitable tenants. I have reliable tradesmen available for home maintenance and repairs. I do not anticipate spending a significant amount of time in this activity other than taking an occasional phone call from the tenant if something comes up and relaying a message to a handyman.
