My name is Lee Smith, and I own Spouses Buying Houses, Inc. Raised in Indianapolis, I have been a real estate investor in and around the local metro area for more than 30 years. I’ve been a licensed Indianapolis property manager and real estate broker since 2007. Transitioning away from a 20+ year career as a Microsoft Engineer, I now focus solely on real estate investment and management.
Spouses Buying Houses, Inc. is growing its property management business. Our rentals range in price from $500 to over $2000 per month. We monitor trends and understand the multiple facets and fluctuations of different rental markets.
Whether you are a new or seasoned investor, live in-state, out-of-state, or around the world, we offer our clients an uncomplicated approach to help them research potential acquisitions, complete any level of rehab, and manage their properties.
Besides holding and maintaining my own rental properties, I’ve developed expertise in multiple real estate strategies, from rehabs and flips to buy and holds, lease options, etc. I practice what I preach, because I not only work with investors, I am an investor.
