In April, 2013, my wife and I met with Michael Twentyfive to discuss the management of 6 properties in Rochester, NY. We agreed to let his company, Equisource, manage our properties which included renting apartments, collecting rents and security deposits and facilitating maintenance and repairs.
Initially, everything went well. Empty apartments were shown and filled quickly, rents were deposited to our bank account on a timely basis and things looked good.
Then, rents weren't deposited quite as fast. E-mails and texts were sent for days before deposits were made and never for the full amounts collected.
Finally, by the end of 2014, my wife and I were sick of the promises of deposits that were rarely made so I sent a letter ending our relationship with Equisource.
Michael Twentyfive had collected several thousand in rents the previous two months and had almost $20,000 in security deposits.
I requested that they be deposited to my company account. He failed to respond. After threatening legal action and contacting my attorney, Michael sent a few e-mails claiming his attorney was working on a balance to send to me.
After that, no response! E-mails were unanswered. Phone calls went to voicemail but I never received any replies.
I learned that he bought into a bar called Richmonds Tavern in Rochester (I wonder where he got the money?!?).
Michael Twentyfive works closely with his brother, Max. When I contacted Max, he would say that he only worked for Michael.
The fact is that Michael Twentyfive talks a good talk and did a good job of managment...until he started stealing my money.
Do not trust this man! He is a thief and he knows it. Hopefully, this posting will save others from a loss like I endured.
