If he needed something beyond the standard business forms and Schedule E, I could give him limited access to my Baselane portal, just like my bookkeeper had limited access.

I am a realtor, investor and own a construction company located in College Station, Texas (home of Texas A&M.) 

I like Winter Garden, Maitland, SoDo, College Park, Longwood/Casselberry.

I'm in a drive to beach market so I'm on it but I would think college towns, mountains etc. might be similar.

I would just not move forward with scheduling a showing until/unless they comply with the procedure to do so (providing ID, pre-screening, etc).

Traditional loans are debt—you borrow money, take on a repayment schedule, and owe interest, regardless of how the property performs.

I should have a person I know at each of the colleges I'm looking at going to that can give me an insight on their networks.

Covid was challenging for my rentals that historically had college kids as tenants.

In my local market (College Station, TX), high rates in 2024 already caused a big jump in inventory, which created some good buying opportunities.

I’m not claiming to know it all—I’m here to learn, build relationships, and grow.Here’s what I bring to the table:A strong understanding of leveraging Net Operating Income (NOI) to secure financing and reduce out-of-pocket costs.Experience in negotiating deals and identifying opportunities, especially in the LA market where many multi-family properties are under $2 million.Skills in managing larger properties, from scheduling repairs and upgrades to optimizing operations for long-term value.The ability to use AI tools for data analysis, market insights, and deal projections to help us act quickly and efficiently.I’ll be upfront—my funds are limited after dedicating the COVID years to supporting my family, but I have the work ethic and expertise to find and manage properties that perform.
