About Aahh Bali Owners:
BOB
Bob has worked as a Financial Analyst, Senior Accountant, Controller, and Consultant, but has spent the majority of his life self-employed, serving clients. 20 years in a credit card processing company of his own creation. He created a niche between merchants and banks to give the small businessman a better credit card rate. After selling that business, owned and operated 66 apartment units. This included single-family homes, duplexes, 4 plexes, and multi-unit complexes for the next 15 years. Throughout his career, he has focused on customer service. Lost less than 1% of his client base to competition over the 20 years in the credit card business. As a landlord had very low tenant turnover because he was always responsive to the needs of his tenants. He also continually upgraded the properties. Retirement in Bali was destiny once he met his partner.
