Most syndicators hire someone to check what's wrong with a property. I've spent 40 years being that person.

Dennis Howard grew up around multifamily property management — both parents worked in it, his mother rising from apartment manager to regional supervisor. He built his own career on the mechanical side of real estate: 40-plus years in residential and commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and restaurant equipment repair, across gas and electric systems alike.

He worked his way up through maintenance supervision in multifamily apartments, then into property management and real estate marketing. Along the way he led capital-expenditure crews on full property remodels — converting bulk-billed complexes to metered utilities, and repairing and upgrading commercial boiler and chiller systems most investors never think to inspect.

On the investment side, he fixed and flipped more than 200 homes over ten years without losing money on a single one. Today he's the General Partner at Monthly Money Magnets, applying that same operator's eye to multifamily communities, storage facilities, and RV parks — sourcing deals, underwriting them, and managing the assets through to exit.
