Brinda Devine and her business, P8 Real Estate Solutions (P8) has been a tremendous help to me as I take the next steps as an emerging developer in the City of Detroit. P8 has assisted me with financial modeling for my current mixed use project in Rosedale Park, MI. Her +30 years of experience in finance helped guide me through the process of formulating a proforma that can sometimes be challenging for real estate professionals. I highly recommended Brinda as a consultant to any developer who needs to add this type of expertise to your team.
