Darrin graduated from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Technology in 1989. Prior to becoming a full time professional real estate investor and licensed Realtor, he worked as an IT Analyst for numerous Fortune 100 companies including IBM, Fannie Mae, Citigroup, Lockheed Martin, and Unisys.
Because of his high degree of honesty and integrity, Darrin held some of the highest security clearances available in the United States while working for some of these companies.
Darrin is a firm believer in continuous self improvement and life long education. As such, in the mid 1990s, he began reading about the financial benefits to owning real estate and owning your own business.
After reading numerous books and taking several classes on investing in real estate such as Robert Kiyosaki's "Cash Flow Quadrant" and "Rich Dad Poor Dad", Darrin came up with a 5 year plan to get out of corporate America by buying enough positive cash flowing investment property to replace his monthly income from his full time job in the computer industry.
In just over 5 years, Darrin had accumulated nearly 20 rental properties and had renovated and sold over half dozen more. And in the spring of 2008, Darrin was able to make his dream a reality by building up enough monthly positive cash flow from rents to nearly replace his full time income, and was able to retire from the computer industry to invest in real estate full time.
Darrin is now looking to take his business to the next level by taking advantage of the tremendous opportunities that exists now in the United States to buy distressed properties significantly under market value.
He is absolutely convinced that he and his partners will be able to buy enough properties over the next 2 to 3 years to be able to completely retire.

In order to be considered for HUD section 8 tenants, you should contact the housing department in your city or county to determine which handles Section 8 in your community.
This agency will send you an application, upon completion of the application you would return the application. If your application is complete and all goes well, an inspection would be set up to look at your property. This is not really hard, but there might be a few things that might be found that need to be redone. This happens all the time so, don’t get all upset.
Once you have completed your inspection you will be given a letter indicating your approval for section 8 housing. If you have more than one unit in the complex, each unit would have to be inspected.
You might consider joining the Apartment Housing Association. This is a good organization for landlords. There are many things available through this organization that will assist you in being a better landlord, along with legal forms and local customs of renting and leasing in your area.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.
“FIGHT ON”
If you wish to rent to Section 8 Voucher holders, you should inform the local Housing Authority of the availability of your property and also indicate in your advertising that you welcome Section 8 Voucher holders.
