Investor and Owner of Management Company in Charleston, SC
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).
