Sarasota REIA continues hosting “Real Estate Rock Stars” joining us this month: David Tilney. You’ll not be disappointed! David Tilney has been managing single-family houses in Colorado Springs for 40+ years. He’s provided long-term housing for hundreds of families during his impressive career as a landlord/property manager. Even in tough rental markets, his properties stay full.

David has invested in rentals, notes, foreclosures, tax sales, IRS liens and leasehold interests. David’s nationally recognized for his skill sets for managing single-family homes and enjoys being a landlord. He believes his tenants are his greatest assets.

Tilney has a unique philosophy of property management. He works hard to foster a ‘team’ approach among his tenants, vendors and owners and believes his tenants are his greatest assets (not his properties). Where many property managers use penalties to control tenants, David favors the carrot over the stick and tries hard to reward tenants when they help his bottom line. He believes that the secret to success is to screen for the ‘best qualified’ occupants using consistent criteria that comply with federal, state and local Fair Housing laws, and then to turn over day-to-day control of the property to the tenant. “Our tenants are the ‘on-site’ managers,” says Tilney. He tries hard to treat people the way they would like to be treated. This approach has worked well for David who believes that his properties, and his relationships with tenants, generally improve over time.

David has also developed a master leasing system (more commonly seen in the commercial market) for single family houses. Master leasing is the most economical way to get into the real estate business today. Utilizing master leasing you can create cash flow in any market, control property without ownership, limit your liability, and build equity with no money down

David and his wife, Mary, spend 8 months each year in Naples FL and their summers in Colorado Springs. His unique systems and procedures allow him to manage his rental portfolio from wherever he is. David is a life-long learner and has a passion for teaching. He shares his unique system in his Hassle-Free Property Management and Master Leasing seminar which he has presented for over 29 years.
