Frank Rizzi
Property Management Expert
Frank Rizzi graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 1991 in the heart of a terrible recession. Rather than letting that get him down, he began to invest in residential & commercial property. As his investment portfolio grew he found it difficult to find a competent property management company, so he began to self manage his properties. Within months he was able to lease up all available vacancies and reduced expenses on his own. Many of his investor clients recognized his success and hired him to manage their properties. BOS Commercial management was formed in 1996, since then he has managed over 80 buildings and brokered an excess of 50 million dollars worth of commercial real estate. He is a building turnaround expert. For the past 18 years he has created great wealth for his investors and himself with his exceptional management philosophy.
