Meet Craig Bitel
I began my career in real estate during the Great Recession, finding my first investment property in 2010 while walking the neighborhood with my dogs. With that success, I continued to spend spare time buying, renovating, and leasing homes all while pursuing my career as an I.T. Program Manager in the automotive industry.
As I added a new property each year or two, I learned critical lessons- one being that people need a quality place to live no matter what’s going on in the economy or outside world. I also learned what residents really value in a home and that this is key to keeping a great tenant long-term and maximizing owner return on investment.
Ten years later and with plenty of research, I moved my personal investments to Real Property Management and left the I.T. world for good. I opened Real Property Management Advantage near downtown Ferndale- a perfect location right in the center of metro Detroit.
I love helping each of my clients reach their financial goals without doing the difficult landlord work themselves. I enjoy renovation projects and working with our staff and selected contractors to protect my clients’ investments and give the best possible experience for our tenant residents.
My team and I are always available for rental price analyses, renovation ideas, landlord/tenant concerns, and more. Don’t hesitate to contact me to find out more. I look forward to working with you!
