Property Manager/ Real Estate Agent from Lexington, KY

[Mike Mabry]

I am from Lexington, Kentucky--the Thoroughbred Horse Capital of the World. The horse is "king" in this area with pristine pastures surrounded by white wooden fences. This is a college town, as well, with some 30,000 students attending the University of Kentucky and thousands more attending smaller schools. Rental property is extremely scarce, especially in the range of $800 to $1200 range. I have spent more than 30 years in management from large corporations to non-profit organizations. My experience has allowed me to manage multi-million dollar budgets and interact with C-Suite executives who depended on my advice to make decisions. Four years ago I decided to try property management and real estate as my latest career. My experience has been mixed. Here I am and looking for support from this community. I would welcome any advice and camaraderie that anyone may share.

Hey Mike,

Great to meet you.  I'm in Lexington if you ever want to talk.  I've been actively purchasing for a little over a year now and we've acquired over 300 units in the Lexington area.  It seemed like rental property was really scarce when I started, but I've been surprised by how much is out there that people are willing to sell, but just not listed.
