Today we talk with David Drewett, owner of Property Hero.
David provides a great service to Sarasota, FL by providing
affordable housing in a market that's not affordable. He does this
by investing in distressed multifamily properties, fixing them up
and adding rooms in the living spaces, and then he rents out the
rooms. The tenants share the kitchen and bathroom, and they also do
the cleaning and light maintenance. It's a win-win since the
community is happy to see buildings getting painted and fixed up
while helping people get affordable housing, and it's a great
business for David.
