In 2008 I was a Mortgage Consultant and Air Force Reservist. As the market was crashing, I found an opportunity to purchase a rental property. I took a chance and
found an inexpensive property that a family was begging me to purchase. While
terrified and inexperienced about Property Management I felt it was time to
secure a decent profitable future. I interviewed 10 different Property Managers
and decided that I could teach myself and save the income. Many errors
were made my first few years from renting to family and friends to renting to
completely unqualified people. Learning from my mistakes I developed my
own screening process that included deep dives of potential tenants.
Becoming a firm yet fair screener. Discovering that the most important
part of Renting was all about upfront diligence.

As time progressed, we purchased several more properties to include a vacation rental. Once again, I meet with vacation rental companies and discovered there were less rules and restrictions and higher costs associated because its at the beach. I
wanted to ensure profit, by using an rental management company there wouldnt
be any profit. So I learned the different avenues of how to ensure
profitability. The resources were everywhere. Just had to keep
accurate records and ensure complete follow through. We have learned many
things with vacation rentals. Most importantly you cant please everyone no
matter how hard we try.

I joined the Army National Guard in 1992 as a Military Police Officer deploying to the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001, then Iraq in 2003. In 2005 I joined
the Air Force Reserve in 2005. Went back to Iraq 2008. From 2005
through 2013 I was a Mortgage consultant. In 2013 I gave up the Mortgage world
and began working at Dover Air Force base as a Federal Police Officer. While
working at Dover, I accepted many new properties for those who were TDY or had
a permanent change in duty station. Within a few years I was responsible
for over 20 rentals. As the word traveled I was getting more and more
requests for property management. Keeping expenses low, I hired a few people to
help with property maintenance along with learning how to do many projects
myself. Thanks to YouTube and licensed contractors I could do many
projects that didnt need a licensed contractor. Helping my owners keep
expenses low and keeping our tenants happy.

In 2018 I received a notification that the State of Delaware requires Property Managers who manage a property other than their own must be a licensed Real Estate agent in order to charge a fee. I quickly went through the 99 hour Real Estate course and passed the National and State Exam.

Now a legally licensed Realtor and Property Manager many additional doors quickly
opened. I discovered the overall need to serve the community was far
greater then I knew. Many of my Military families were working with agents
who didnt understand simple terms such as PCS or TDY and needed expertise and
experience to coach and guide them. This inspired me to earn an
additional certification. The MRP, Military Relocation Professional. Which
meant to me that my services are not only needed but a requirement to serve
those who serve.
