In 2009 my wife Jessica and I weren’t sure what we were going to do. I had just lost my job at a major finance company. It hit me hard. I thought I was safe and secure in my job that I really enjoyed. I felt lost. It was at that point that we took a chance and bought a $15,000 single family home close to my hometown. We put some sweat equity in to it and turned it in to a $500 a month rental. Little did we know that this was going to be the start of my new career. Now, fast forward 14 years to owning and managing around 1700 units of my own and for other investors. It has not been an easy road to say the least. I made a lot of mistakes, but by making those mistakes I have learned a lot. My goal is to meet you, whether you are thinking about buying your first investment or the seasoned investor looking to add to your portfolio. I would like to share my best practices with you, and I would enjoy hearing yours as well. My hope is that I can save you from making some of the same mistakes that I did and get you ahead in the game of investing.  I look forward to seeing the progress you will make! - Chad
