Pam Storm

One of the ways to build wealth in real estate is to buy a property, move in renters, and over time allow the renters to pay for the property. However, there are risks - namely, ensuring that you select renters that pay the rent and care properly for the property. If you want to learn a step-by-step process that you can utilize to move in reliable renters, and you’re willing to put some elbow into it, come listen to Pam Storm. Pam’s mission is to help individuals build wealth by identifying and renting to the best renters. More specifically, she empowers people to be great at tenant screening – with an easy, repeatable and compliant process – so they can confidently and efficiently move in reliable renters over and over. Pam, the founder and owner of Rent Marketplace, has over 15 years of experience tenant screening, software and analytics. She has helped facilitate over 16 million screening tenant transactions. She also invests and manages a few of her own rental properties, and serves actively on the Board of Atlanta Ronald McDonald House.
