You can own rental properties and still feel like you’re not getting ahead.

I owned the properties, but I wasn’t seeing the income I expected.

I’ve been investing in real estate since 2013, working with Section 8, traditional rentals, and Airbnb. I believed in building wealth through real estate, but the profit wasn’t always what I thought it would be. With everything getting more expensive, I knew I needed to rethink how I was using my properties.

Co-living through PadSplit changed that for me. I could earn income from individual rooms while providing housing for people who couldn’t comfortably afford an entire rental on their own.

That experience is why I teach this today. If you’re looking at your rental and wondering how to make the numbers work better, I understand where you’re coming from.

02 / The Right Fit

Who Is This For?

Whether you’re buying your first rental or rethinking a property you already own, start by understanding whether co-living fits your plans.

Aspiring Investors

You want to get into real estate, but the advice online is endless and often conflicting. You need a practical starting point and someone experienced to ask questions.

Tired Landlords

Your rental takes more time, energy, or money than you expected. You want to understand whether a different approach could fit your property and your goals.

Investors Growing Their Portfolio

You've heard about renting by the room and want to understand how it works, what it requires, and whether it suits your property and local rules.

04 / FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't see your question? Bring it to your call.

Do I need real estate experience?

No. Coaching meets you where you are, whether you're researching your first property or already own several.

Do I need to own a property already?

You can start with the course before buying a property. For consulting, we’ll discuss where you are in the process and whether the program fits your needs.

What is co-living?

Co-living means renting individual rooms in a shared home to separate residents, who share common areas like the kitchen and living room. Rooms are often furnished, and some setups include utilities in the room price. Local zoning, HOA, licensing, and occupancy rules vary, so they need to be checked for each property.

What’s the difference between virtual and hands-on consulting?

Virtual Consulting is a 12-week program with six one-hour calls and direct text access, so you get guidance while you carry out your project wherever your property is. Hands-On Consulting is a 12-week program for Tampa Bay properties only, with weekly one-hour calls, four property visits, and direct text access.

Do you manage properties?

Coaching does not include property management. I help you understand your options and decisions; I don't run your property or handle residents for you.

Can you guarantee results?

No. Real estate outcomes depend on the property, market, financing, local rules, and many other factors. Coaching is meant to help you make more informed decisions, not to promise income, occupancy, or returns.
