Keys to Successful Tenant Management
Wednesday, January 9, 2019

At this month’s REAPS Kitsap meeting, we've invited special guest Chrysztyna Rowek, owner of Lighthouse Cove Property Management to share invaluable information on being a landlord, finding, screening and managing tenants, as well as give you the inside scoop on what’s happening in the Kitsap County rental market right now! If you own rental property, or plan to be a landlord, you don’t want to miss this meeting!

Chrysztyna’s property management career literally started at the bottom, as she owned the cleaning company that was in charge of all the Lighthouse Cove cleaning for 5 years. She gradually began doing inspections, and eventually came into the office, first as a receptionist, then as a licensed real estate agent and property manager, and then bought the company in July 2007. In July of 2009 she also bought the property management division of Strategy Real Estate, Inc.

She is a proud member of NARPM, the National Association of Residential Property Managers, having served as Kitsap County Chapter President in 2010 and again in 2014. In 2010, she received her RMP NARPM designation and her MPM designation in 2013. In 2014, she held the National Professional Development Committee Chair position for NARPM.

She is a member of both the Silverdale and Bremerton Chambers of Commerce and has been president of her BNI Chapter several times. She was awarded the Key to the City of Bremerton by Mayor Patty Lent in 2012, and is a member of the Real Estate Association of Puget Sound.
She travels all over the country as a sought-after professional speaker and educator, where she shares her property management journey with other property managers. She is also a Certified Real Estate Instructor for the State of Washington.

If you have decided to take the plunge into commercial real estate, this may just be the group you have been looking for. If you are new to commercial investing and want to surround yourself with other members making the same plunge then join us. The meeting is a round table format so open discussions are the norm and speakers are rare. Come prepared to share as much as you are prepared to learn. The discussions will be focused on multifamily, office, retail, mobile home parks, etc. Is the grass really greener with commercial? Our commercial group leader, Jeff Hamel, will answer with a definite YES!

Robyn Thompson the “Rehab Queen” 

Advanced Wealth Building Strategies with Robyn All Day Sunday!

Full Details and Registration at REAPSweb.com

My motto is to ask and you shall receive! This is one of the reasons we love having Robyn Thompson back at REAPS....because I asked and you will receive.

Last week a couple of our members asked me how they could get some more time with Robyn Thompson, The Queen of Rehab, when she comes to Seattle....to really pick her brain at a much deeper level on how she has built a Massive Passive bunch of keeper properties.

They wanted a detailed road map to follow step by step so I thought what the heck let me see if she has anything like that and would she be willing to share some advanced strategies.

Ask and you shall receive! She graciously agreed to come back and is offering to show us in detail exactly how she built a Massive Buy and Hold Portfolio.

Robyn is going to spend all day Sunday teaching us how to build a Massive Portfolio of keeper properties that will crank passive income for your retirement.

Please make sure you register early because Robyn is bring a workbook for each attendees and I need to give her a head count on how many so she can have them printed before she leaves Florida.

Don’t miss this action packed meeting with Robyn.
