When I became a landlord during my maternity leave with my second son, I quickly learned that owning a rental property is very different from simply owning a home.

Questions come up fast:

• How much should I charge for rent?

• How do I attract qualified tenants?

• What should I include in my listing?

• How do I screen applicants?

• What systems do I need to successfully manage this property?

Over the years, I've learned to successfully manage now 12 rentals and have helped several new landlords successfully launch and manage their own rentals.

What I’ve found is that many new landlords don’t need a property manager. They need an experienced guide how can help them avoid common mistakes, establish effective systems, and move forward with confidence. In short, they need a coach and a cheerleader.

I focus on the areas that often make the biggest difference:

• Rental pricing

• Listing creation and optimization

• Tenant screening

• Landlord systems and workflow

• Avoiding costly beginner mistakes

Whether you’re keeping a former home as a rental, purchasing your first investment property, or preparing to lease a property for the first time, I’m here to get you started with confidence.

I look forward to helping you launch your rental successfully.

I currently live in northern Virginia with my husband and three boys. In addition to managing our rental properties, I enjoy helping others build systems that simplify property ownership and create long-term financial opportunity.
