I have a friend of mine who is a licensed real estate agent. He signs all my leases.

@Tim Harwick

First and foremost, thank you!

I started out as an office assistant for a previous property management company.

Being one of those rare breeds that has the gift of gab, a gift of being able to fix almost anything. I quickly moved up the ranks, landing in the leasing agent position.

As time began to unfold, working with the property owners on leasing vacant units. I quickly found that almost all of the property owners were unhappy, until I landed in the leasing position driving cash flow to them that they had been longing for.

Wasn't long until the owner of the company and a property owner came to me, pretty much asking that I discriminate and not leave any vacant units to any other color than white caucasian. My morals was hanging in the balance of, what do I do.....do I follow my orders; go against my beliefs of, all people are equal regardless of any differences. I came to the conclusion to resign.

Less than 48 hours had gone by, I'm still unsure of my next move when I get a call from a property owner. He says "Spencer, before you came along my life was q living hell, I had 9 vacancies, you filled them in two months." He goes on to say "you have been gone 48 hours and my life is a living hell again"(most of his properties were section 8, government assisted). He was about to loose the section 8 partnership, which also contained 6 months worth of rent for, four different tenants. The rent is based in at 700 a month so that was a lot of money he was about to hit in the gut with.

He asks me if I wanted to do my own thing. I didn't hesitate because I love love love this line of work. By the following week I had saved the section 8 partnership and finally was able to get the back rent released to him.

From that point January 10th 2019, Titan Elite Property Management was established. Since then I have had a few more acquisitions but now we are slowing down and I still want to push and keep growing. In fact I wouldn't even mind branching out to other states to do this.

You can't measure the amount of ambition someone has. However you can see that ambition they do all they can to make your life easier and giving you, a property owner peace of mind knowing your property is being well cared for.

@CJ M.

Very true have messages to prove it after wards he kept texting me until I blocked his number.

@Andrey Y.

I had a gentleman the other day keep offering me a massage. While showing his focus wasn't looking at the apartment, instead kept asking if I would like a "butt naked massage". I was pretty freaked out. By the end of the showing I had at this point, became extremely frustrated and told him if he asked me again. I was going to flip out.

For some reason this prompted him to start massaging my shoulders.....at this point I was by far violated, and now really angry. I shrugged my shoulders and pulled away. Telling this guy that, this was no longer a professional showing and that the situation was no longer professional, and he needed to leave.

I do not know but after I said that it prompted him to then grab my *** and ask if i wanted my *** massaged........I had no choice but, I turned and hit this guy so hard I felt his jaw pop. He then looks at me holding his face and says "I still want to give you a massage" I ended up having snatch this guy up by his shirt and pretty much threw him out of the door bouncer style.

The only time a situation has ever ever become violent and I literally took the harassment wayyy longer than I should have. I hope this never happens again.

Hi everyone, I have recently started a property management company in Cincinnati Ohio.

When we first started, I had acquired a 24 unit acquisition. We're doing everything; offering 24/7 on site maintenance, apartment turns, marketing, leasing, and evictions.

I am very happy with our kick start having the 24 units as soon as I started Property Management.

However, I have the urge to acquire more as that is my goal, to keep growing. I am struggling to figure out how to get my name out there. I have business cards, when I ever I see a "For Rent" sign, I will call.

Does Anyone have any other ideas as to how I can get my name out there?

@Adam Scheetz

Everything seems legitimate, just make sure you always account for that "uh oh" situation.

Good morning Tim,

Thanks for the connection!

I offer property management solutions to landlords across the Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and South Indiana. 

I am driven by success with my first property on Harrison Ave in Cincinnati Ohio. The landlord and tenants are ecstatic that things are getting done in a timely manner. 

I also used to live in the Richmond area of Kentucky. My wife and I resided on East Loudon Ave in Lexington Kentucky.  for about a year into our marriage, that was almost 6 years ago now.

I hope to connect with more investors such as yourself as my time grows here on Bigger Pockets.

If there is anything I can help with please feel free to message! 😊

@Shayna Hatcher

Honestly, in my opinion if they're for anything violent, theft, robbery, drug related. I wouldn't second guess it and deny the applicant. I would ask what the felonies were for, and verify with a background check.

If, they're non violent I would put thought into it. How long is he on probation for? Also, if he has completed most of his probation without issue, you can kind of see that he is committed to change.... I hope this helps 😊
