Actively involved with:
Oregon Rental Housing Association
Salem Rental Housing Association

In August of 2003, not knowing this would lead to a major career change in ten years; I purchased my first investment property. Rehabbing was set in motion and by May of 2004 I became a landlord. Learning the do and do not of this highly regulated business, while working on what would become a 30 year career at Costco Wholesale.
(Yes I started back in the day when numbers where called out, and I hand keyed them in!)

Enjoying finding solutions to the challenges landlords face, I left Costco to put 100% focus on property management. Gratefully surrounding myself with knowledgeable people in the industry. I became licensed in the State of Oregon, enabling me to offer my services managing your rental homes.

I Am Steve

My first experience as a landlord began in 1989, when much like today, renting was a better option than selling. Growing up in two generations of contractors, I am familiar with the construction of a house and how to properly maintain it, making land lording an easy fit.

Recently retired after 34 years of service as a route sales representative, I work with managers of large corporations and skillfully adjust to the never ending change of the economy.

Goal orientated, and highly motivated to meet your property management needs.

I am looking forward to working with you.
