@Jem Arcibal I feel it is always the small things that make or break a resident experience. This one-word change, picking up trash on the day of closing, learning the resident's name are just a few of the items we implemented in operations to build positive experiences. You are completely correct.

I don’t know how it works in TX but in OH I charge a utility fee of $70 for water sewer and gas as those are not submetered.

What if you don’t fail but never tried?

I’m Cheryl Yetka, founder of Quiet River Real Estate Investments. My background is in affordable housing, asset management, hospitality, operations, and public service. I worked for one of the largest property management companies in the US in the affordable space for almost 15 years. Faith, family, and creating safe, stable housing are a big part of who I am and why I do this work. Right now, I’m focused on building a workforce and affordable housing portfolio by buying and improving value-add multifamily properties. I’m also growing The Quiet River Workforce Housing Club, expanding my investor network, and launching The Quiet River Table podcast and speaking platform. I’m hoping to keep learning more about underwriting, capital raising, funding opportunities, and how to scale a real estate company the right way. My bigger goal is to show that investors can earn strong returns while also improving housing, supporting residents, and making a real difference in communities.

@Christina Lovett thank you!

I have 6 units that I bought in 45 days last fall. 2 single family and 2 duplexes. 5 in OH and 1 unit in OK. Self-manage and will be selling at least two of the properties in the next 2-6 months as turn-key long-term rentals for investors. All updated. So, if you know anyone that wants turn-key 100% occupied let me know!
