First time home buyers stand in front of their new 3 bedroom 2 bathroom 2 car garage home in St Petersburg, FL

Just say NO to a lifetime of renting!

May 04, 20251 min read


In 2024, 117,000 single family homes were bought up by corporate investors. Why does this matter? There are several reasons. They tend to buy up what would be the “starter homes”, eliminating the possibility of home ownership for so many of the young Millennials and Gen Zs. Many of the corporate “landlords” are known for poor maintenance of property, fast evictions, poor responsiveness to tenants and gentrifying Black neighborhoods.

Historically, home ownership and real estate has been the biggest wealth builders for the average American family.

Today, I celebrate my clients, Taylor and Erin, for making a plan. They adjusted their expectations and wish list according to the current market and their budget. For me it’s always a good day when I see a young couple investing in themselves instead of paying their landlords mortgage.

An amazing opportunity presented itself and they didn’t procrastinate, waver, go maybe…., etc. They said YES and we worked out the details. They are NOW the proud owners of a beautiful, 3 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage, pool home that is in great shape on a huge lot of land. A little bit of cosmetic work and they can settle into their new home!

If you’re ready, I’m here to help you buy, sell & invest with confidence. Whether it’s your first property or multi-million $$ portfolio, I’ve got you covered!
