    2019

    [NOTE: Since summer 2020, I am not actively involved with the company; please adjust outreaches accordingly.] Doorstead is a technology-operations company. We are a full-service property management brokerage that provides cash-flow certainty to rental property owners. Traditionally, property managers (NPS 8) overpromise on rent to sign owners, creating months of vacancy and lost income. By collecting precise data during inspections and leveraging historical rental data, we are able to provide an unconditional rental guarantee to owners (ex. $3,500/mo starting in 28 days).

Doorstead uses data and operations technology to provide landlords with upfront guaranteed rent and full property management service.
