Everyday, for three years, I walked my dog down our normal walk path and this house sat empty. One day, the house had a sign on the door. I checked that sign and saw that it was lease-to-own. I looked into it and decided to pass.

Two years, later the same house popped up again. This time I went for it. I had no money and no idea how to rehab it, but I knew I had to do it. This was the secret beginning of Springboard Holdings Detroit.
