2010 produced some of the darkest days that U.S. Real Estate had ever seen.
Like most everyone else, I had watched over 60% of my home’s value disappear and I was pretty sure that it was gone for good. To say that real estate
was already on my mind would be an understatement. Then, it happened…
It was early July, 2010 when I heard the news from two very close friends – on the same day – that they were having to let their houses go. These were real-life people that were real-life friends, and I knew they wanted help. My problem was that I didn’t how to help them, but I couldn’t let the issue go unaddressed.
The next few weeks were spent quizzing everyone I came in contact with and I came to the conclusion that just about everyone was in the middle of their own real estate meltdown. It wasn’t just one of those national issues that you saw on the news. It was local. Very local. Like next door, across the street, and everywhere you looked and everyone you spoke with. Not only was there a boatload of new “circumstantial renters”, there was also a massive amount of homeowners that were “accidental landlords” since they couldn’t sell their underwater properties. To me, this meant there were a whole bunch of people that needed a hand. They didn’t want an expert or a guru (which was convenient because I was neither), they just wanted help.
I combed through the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of everyone I spoke with- and the result was the absolute best way that I saw to help: Property Management and Real Estate. It had to be both because these “renters” didn’t want to be renters forever, and these “landlords” didn’t want to be landlords forever. Then, in the middle of one of the worst real estate markets the country had seen, we thought it would be a good idea to open up a real estate company.
