Why I Wrote

Property Management Excellence

I grew up in Section 8 housing, watching my mother fight for stability while dealing with landlords who saw us as just another rent check. When I became a property manager, I was determined to do it differently.

Over the years, I saw that what made the greatest difference wasn’t just systems or strategy. It was the why behind the work. I wrote this book to help property owners, managers, and investors build real wealth without sacrificing empathy or ethics. If you believe property management can be a force for good—and that business should leave a legacy—this book is for you.
