Company

Meet the founders of MyPropFolio - Heather and Alan O’Brien, a husband and wife team. They have found the real estate business to be an exciting, independent industry with endless opportunities. They have developed the MyPropFolio software solution in an effort to help other investors achieve success in real estate.

Their Background

Alan O'Brien was born and raised in Cork, Ireland. After graduating from University of Limerick with a degree in Electronic Engineering, Alan worked for Fortune 500 Telecom companies in nearly 30 different countries. He implemented numerous systems (both technical and process driven) to create a better bottom line for telecom companies.

Heather O’Brien is originally from the Silicon Valley and received her degree in Economics from UC Davis. Heather worked for PeopleSoft (acquired by Oracle) and played a key role in technical management solutions for leading banks and Fortune 500 companies worldwide. In 2003 Heather formed her own consulting company which has secured important contracts at leading banks.

How It All Started

In 2005, Heather and Alan were both continuing to achieve success in their relative areas of expertise. There was a problem however, Alan’s work related travel was interfering with their personal life. They wanted careers that would give them more flexibility. After observing that people with high net worth were often involved in real estate, they decided it would be a great way to provide for their future. They took the plunge and Alan quit his high paying consulting position to invest in real estate full time. Since they didn’t have much experience in real estate, Heather and Alan began attending REI club meetings.

In 2006 they started a company and within six months they were acquiring 15 properties a month because they designed a system to help them manage all the details. Heather and Alan built a successful team that worked within their designed system. In December 2006, they were able to sell this company for a substantial profit. Since 2005 they have bought and sold over 110 single family homes, town homes, multi-units and land across California, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, Louisiana and Indiana.

They Saw a Need for Technology

As much as they enjoyed their business success, Heather and Alan were very frustrated with the lack of technology solutions for managing the end to end process of flipping properties. They began researching software options that could solve this problem and discovered that there weren’t any! Instead of giving up, they were inspired to utilize their background in technology and create their own solution. After talking with other Real Estate investors, they realized that there were many who were looking for tools to help them better manage their business.

Over a year of analysis and development went into assembling the design, technical and marketing teams and into the creation of this fantastic product. Heather and Alan are proud of this easy to use system designed BY REAL ESTATE INVESTORS FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTORS. They wish you success as you use the MyPropFolio solution to build and expand your real estate business.
