A restructuring of the firm in 2006 allowed it to expand to manage multiple additional properties across Texas, for clients and for its own portfolio. To date, Daryl has purchased, owned and operated 21 single family homes, and three apartment communities totaling 550 units. In the multi-family properties, each required multi-million dollar renovations which were performed under the management of Daryl’s construction company, Windland Estate Builders. Daryl and Wind Enterprises have also become active in mentoring and/or partnering with investors in acquiring and operating multi-family properties.

nationally, but specifically in D/FW. I really think we are in for the
strongest spring and summer season in the past 4 years. As the market
is actually starting to show signs of improvement, now is the time for
investors to hop on the band wagon and start buying for resale. ”

So how you gonna learn the lessons without paying for the mistakes?
Well, maybe there’s a way that you could learn from the mistakes that

” 10 Things That I Would Differently. “

sharing by Mindy Henderson
Investor, Landlord, Rehabber, Property Manger,
Broker and RMLO

Mindy is well experienced in almost all areas of investing. And, yes, she’s made some mistakes along the way. Now that she has been through it, and has the scares to prove it, and knows better (hopefully), if she could start over, these are the ten most important matters she would handle differently. She will share these cases with you, so that you can avoid these not-such-good-choices.

Topic areas include – selection of investment properties, taxes, insurance, and more.

Mindy Henderson owns 27 rentals, and manages more than 50 other properties for clients. She really enjoys doing the big rehab projects (back to the studs). Prior to 2011, she was buying a house every 6 weeks, rehabbing it and then holding it as rental property. For the past 18 months, she has spent most of her time managing rental properties for other investors, and doing loan disclosures for seller financing (as a licensed RMLO) for investor clients.

Mindy also has her Real Estate Broker’s license. She has negotiated short sales for investor clients, listed (and sold) some REO’s for a local bank, and listed (and sold) properties for private sellers and real estate investors.

If you heard Mindy speak last summer in her series of six sold out seminars on seller financing, you know that she is very knowledgeable, very precise, and very organized – which always makes for a very informative and enjoyable presentation.
