Investor and Owner of Management Company in Charleston, SC

[Robert Seed]

Hello,

Thank you for letting me join this community, this is my first time logging into this site.  I have been a full-time real estate investor in Charleston, SC since 2012.  I also own Trubild, a management company in Charleston.

I love real estate investing and management and love talking shop with anyone about this industry.  I specialize in multifamily properties, such as apartments and mobile home parks, but also do a lot of single family properties as well.  We currently manage a little over 300 units and are hoping to grow that to 500 this year, with ownership in a little over a 1/3 of the properties.  I love doing deals!

I'm originally from Northern California, from a small town called Sea Ranch, about 2.5 hours North of San Francisco and moved to Charleston in 2011.  I am very blessed to be married to my beautiful bride and we have 3 amazing little boys, ages: 1, 3 and 4, who keep us very busy.

My previous profession was as a golf course architect with Kyle Phillips Golf Course Design, which I still consult with from time to time.  This was a fantastic career, but ultimately, I was drawn to real estate for the passive income it offered.

I look forward to meeting the many folks in this community and learning from everyone and contributing what I know from my experience with mobile home parks, apartments, and single family properties.  

Thank you,

Roby Seed

Welcome to the BP community, Roby!

For those who don't know @Robert Seed, he is the real deal.  Smart, kind, generous, and extremely hardworking.  Roby knows his business and handles his business.  In a profession where evictions are a fact of life, Roby handles difficult conditions with grace and efficiency.  I have watch Roby grow an incredible portfolio over the past few years and I am pleased to call him a friend.  My wife and I hosted a pool party last summer at our house and Roby and Beth and their children attended.  In conversation at that party I shared a dilemma with Roby.  I was struggling with finding the right amount of empathy and firmness to handle my relationships with unstable, often drug-addicted property sellers.  Roby suggested an approach that "takes care of business" without running roughshod over the other parties.   I am grateful for Roby and for his IQ (intelligence quotient) as well as his EQ (emotional quotient).
