“Own real estate. Keep control and cash flow. Enjoy your freedom.”
Self-managing landlord turned founder, building the tools I wished I had for the landlords doing it themselves.
I didn’t just get into self-managing my rentals to save the 10% management fee. I got into it because nobody cares about my properties the way I do, and I needed to know that the person running things actually felt that way.
My journey into operations started with mid-term rentals. The frequent turnover taught me fast that I either built systems or I drowned. So I built systems.
Today I own and manage 19 units in Connecticut, including my high-performance mid-term rentals, and I spend half the year in Georgia, proof that the right infrastructure can give you your life back. I’ve spoken on national stages alongside some of the top real estate investors in the country, mentored operators scaling their first portfolios, and coached landlords on what it actually takes to run a rental portfolio without it running you.
That operator experience is what I built The Lean Landlord and PAM AI from. Not theory. My own 19 units, my own hard lessons, my own stack.
What I’m building
PAM is an AI-powered maintenance coordinator built for self-managing landlords. She handles the day-to-day load, triaging requests, running diagnostics, dispatching vendors, and keeping tenants in the loop, so you don’t have to live inside your inbox.

Most rental education stops at tenant screening and deal finding. The Lean Landlord goes where almost nobody else does: the operational side, the systems, the SOPs, the automation stack that makes self-management actually sustainable.
Alongside the education, there’s a growing systems toolkit: Claude AI skills, Airtable bases, and shareable automations built specifically for landlords who want to become VA-optional. I’m on that journey myself, documenting it in real time as I go.
