AND SET YOURSELF UP FOR THE FREEDOM YOU’VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF...
IN JUST 15 MINUTES A DAY!
After seeing so many rental property owners (both new and experienced!) lose time and money, we wondered: What if we could share what we’ve learned in the past 15+ years to help people ditch the stressful learning curve, avoid common mistakes, and make predictable, passive income -- all from the start?
We learned the SECRET CODE the hard way...so you don’t have to.
That’s exactly why we created The Landlord Code.
ARE YOU READY TO MAKE PASSIVE INCOME, MANAGE YOUR REAL ESTATE FROM ANYWHERE, AND SAY GOODBYE TO PROBLEM PROPERTIES -- FOR GOOD? WE CALL THIS "MAILBOX MONEY!!"
FEATURED IN
“I didn’t realize this would be so much WORK,”
you groan to yourself as you push back your chair and excuse yourself from the table.
You’ve been planning this special dinner with your kids for MONTHS, and now you’re missing it.
Why? Because the tenant in your rental property just reported that their toilet is overflowing, and now you’re tasked with finding a plumber. Preferably a licensed, bonded plumber with a good reputation. One willing to come out after-hours on short notice… on a holiday weekend. And perhaps most importantly: one that won’t charge you a fortune.
So here you are: missing out on time with your family, frantically trying to find a good plumber, worrying about whether there might be substantial damage, and vowing to find a simpler way to manage your rental property.
You never set out to be a landlord -- after all, you already have a successful career! But whether it was because…
you outgrew your first family home, but you couldn’t bear to sell it because you worked so hard to make it perfect
you inherited a property from your parents, and you’re determined to use that rental income to help you prepare for a secure retirement
you purchased a home or condo specifically to use as a rental property, because your future plans include traveling year-round, counting on that steady passive income, and spending time on your terms
you have a rental property now, and you’re determined to make it work so you can reap the benefits.
But instead of being able to revel in the freedom and flexibility this rental income is going to bring you, you’re actually spending most of your time:
Wishing you had a magic formula for avoiding the “bad” tenants -- you know, the ones who never pay rent on time, or worse, damage the property
Dreading the possibility of having to evict a renter
Stressing out over how to market your rental property in order to maximize your income and attract those perfect-fit tenants
Spinning your wheels over what -- exactly -- to include in the lease
Going back and forth on which upgrades to make to the property to get the most bang for your buck
Trying to find a way to make the move-in and move-out processes less chaotic
“I didn’t realize this would be so COMPLICATED,”
you mutter to yourself as you take ANOTHER call related to your rental.
You’ve been planning this weekend with your family for MONTHS, and now you’re missing it.
Why? Because the tenant in your rental property just reported that their toilet is overflowing, and now you’re tasked with finding a plumber. Preferably a licensed, bonded plumber with a good reputation. One willing to come out after-hours on short notice. And perhaps most importantly: one that won’t charge you a fortune.
You're left wondering, "Did I even make the right decision buying this rental?!"
So here you are: missing out on time with your people, vowing to find a simpler way to earn "passive" income.
You set out to be a landlord for the financial freedom -- after all, isn't that what all the gurus promise you?
You find yourself here because you have a vision:
you are determined to become an investor, break free of your 9-5, and experience financial & personal freedom
you already own a rental or two, because your future plans include traveling year-round, enjoying passive income, and living life on your terms
you inherited a property, and are banking on that steady rental income because you and your family have a future to plan for
But instead of being able to revel in the freedom and flexibility this rental income is going to bring you, you’re actually spending most of your time:
Wondering if you bought (or are buying) a good rental property. How are you supposed to know if this is a good investment or not? Especially when all you see is dollars going OUT the door?
Wishing you had a magic formula for avoiding the “bad” tenants -- you know, the ones who damage the property, or worse, have to evict?
Feeling like your property management company is not looking out for your best interest, and wondering if it's a better move to DIY manage your rental and save the money?
Spinning your wheels over what -- exactly -- to include in the lease. Where are you supposed to find all this paperwork?
Going back and forth on which upgrades to make to the property to get the most bang for your buck that will actually PAY off
Trying to find a way to make the move-in and move-out processes less chaotic...if you even HAVE a move-in or move-out process!
Sound familiar? If so, don’t worry: you are NOT alone.
We work with hundreds of rental property owners each year, and nearly all of them have expressed the same frustrations.
But…What if we told you building your real estate portfolio doesn’t have to be confusing? Or stressful?
What if it could be problem-free and profitable?
Imagine what life would be like if you could:
Feel so confident in your purchasing process that you stop worrying about buying the "wrong" rental
Sleep soundly at night knowing that your well-vetted tenants will pay their rent on time and treat your investment with the care it deserves
Stop stressing about what happens if your tenants do damage the property, because you have a rock-solid lease and a clear process in place
Create a solid maintenance and emergency plan, so you never have to miss out on vacations or Saturdays mornings again
Know exactly how a property management company works, so you can choose to EITHER hire the right pro, or do it yourself...and not be left wondering either way
Live the landlord life you deserve, toes in the sand, making money in your sleep, on you way to personal and financial freedom
This is all absolutely possible for you -- you just need the right tools.
The reality is, there are 3 Common Roadblocks holding you back from a future of building wealth through real estate, problem-free tenants, and passive income.
Once you tackle them, you’ll be in a much better position to have your rental property support you in living the life you want -- without constantly bleeding time, money, and mental energy....
or worrying that you made the wrong decision.
You don't know how to find a good "deal" on a rental, or if it is actually a smart investment. You're afraid of making a dumb move and you're stuck in analysis paralysis.
Obviously, you don’t want to make a bad investment. You want to build passive income from real estate to support your lifestyle and fuel your dreams...NOT drain your resources, or worse, lose money.
You’re a smart, capable, driven person -- otherwise, you wouldn’t have made it this far in life! But here’s the thing: all the gurus tell you that you can "get rich quick" by buying real estate.
But your fear is totally normal because: NO ONE ever shows you how to be a landlord. You can’t expect yourself to know all the ins and outs of being an investor & managing the business end of a rental property if you’ve never done this before.
But if you want to be a successful investor with passive income and true financial freedom, you absolutely can! You just need to learn the right procedures, tools, tips, and tricks from a pro first. That way, you can set yourself up for success and KNOW that you are making a solid investment for your future.
You’re addressing problems reactively instead of proactively.
If you already own rental property, it’s no secret that being a landlord will keep you BUSY. You may fear some new issue/cost always popping up, and you not only have to figure out how to handle it -- but also that it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.
You feel like you are 2-steps behind everyone else, and you're wondering if you're the only landlord feeling this way.
You know something needs to change, but you don’t know what.
Let us let you in on a little secret: you're just missing process. When you have the right processes in place, you’ll be able to set yourself up for success and avoid 99% of problems before they even happen -- truly! You can be on your way to toes-in-the-sand, pina colada-in-hand, making money while you sleep in no time...IF you have a roadmap.
You’re not treating your rental as a business.
Maybe you have a good hunch about the future of the neighborhood and you're banking on appreciation. Maybe you and your spouse plan to move in someday once your kids have all gone off to college (or better yet - using the home to pay for college!).
Or maybe - like many investors - you bought this property to fuel your freedom. Replacing your income with passive income IS the vision.
But here you are, still trying to figure out this whole “making a profit” thing. And when it comes to things like legislation, well, let's just say you may be taking the ostrich-head-in-the-ground approach.
Here's the thing: treating your landlording as a hobby instead of a business will hold you back when it comes to maximizing your financial goals and avoiding costly mistakes that can crush your vision of passive income and financial freedom. You need a business roadmap for this passive income vision, and without it, you could be stuck in limbo forever.
No one tells you THAT at the guru seminars.
Here’s the good news: you can have a profitable real estate portfolio, a passive income stream, and problem-free properties to fuel your freedom. You just need to get the right mindset, strategy, and process in place.
And we should know -- since starting our property management business over a decade ago (with limited experience and in the middle of a recession!), we’ve served more than $1 billion in rental homes, with a less than 1% eviction rate.
But our journey wasn’t always wine and roses...
Hi! We’re
Darcy & Christopher Barrow,
and our mission is to help A&B-Class landlords (aka, conscientious owners of single-family homes and condos who truly care about their properties and their future -- landlords like you!) avoid problem tenants, take the stress out of managing a property, and create reliable, predictable income.
We founded our first business, Foundation Homes Property Management, in Marin County, CA in 2010. Since we were both real estate agents and already knew the laws and procedures, we figured property management would be simple.
Spoiler alert: it was not.
In the decade since, we’ve gone from stress cases who were spending tens of thousands of dollars on costly mistakes with little profit...

...to business owners creating consistent cash flow through systems and processes as we’ve grown our business and our expertise.
Meanwhile, we’ve watched countless other everyday landlords deal with disastrous tenancies, making the same expensive mistakes over and over again: renting to the wrong tenants, failing to plan for repairs, experiencing disastrous turn-overs or security deposit disputes, leaving money on the table through too high or too low rents, failing to make simple-yet-impactful upgrades, and missing out on the personal and financial freedom they were hoping to gain by investing in a rental property in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Landlord Reviews from Our Trainings:
"We made a lot of mistakes over the years and let renters take advantage of us. We finally learned a few things the hard way. With your [content] we have learned so much more that we desperately needed it to begin with."
- Bonnie C, Landlord
"I love the variety of topics covered - how to stage/market the property, how to look for issues during the annual inspection, how to vet applications, etc - all topics are extremely valuable and very timely/relevant."
- Landlord
"Today's Annual Inspection [training] was an ah-ha moment. I see I need to do preventative maintenance, and I need to see how the building and appliances are...not just wait for the tenant to 'complain'."
- Susan M, Landlord
"The videos from [The Landlord Code] have been very helpful for a small DIY landlord like me, I am learning a lot from screening tenants to filing taxes. After watching a few lessons I realized I did a lot of mistakes in screening tenants, working with contractors, and maintenance. Since I started following your lessons I feel more aware and updated especially during this time of pandemic where there are many changes in ordinances etc. I want to say huge thanks to [Darcy & Christopher] for being so genuine and passionate with what they do. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge. "
- Landlord
"We needed a bigger house but we loved our small house so we made the decision to keep it and rent it out. [Before The Landlord Code we used] Facebook forums, googling, you tube videos, books. Thank you so much for the resources and information. [You provide] so much information, I think every day is an "AHA!" moment. As I’m learning I’m becoming more confident. Currently we have a management company taking care of our property, I’d love to be able to feel comfortable managing myself. 5 stars!"
- Susie Baranowski, Landlord
"I'm just starting to get into becoming a landlord and trying to learn as much as possible. The information has been very helpful for a new person to this type of investment."
- New Landlord
"[I was] muddling through mistakes. [Since I found you I] learned what to do if somebody signed a lease and paid the security deposit, then decides not to rent after all. Now I feel good after learning more from your training lessons. Bless you for doing this to help all of us."
- Mae, Landlord
"I really learn so much from your videos. Thank you for making and sharing them with the real estate community."
- Dorinne Low (agent):
"I am an agent [and] have clients who are ""mom and pop"" landlords.
[I have learned from you] the care and knowledge it takes to be a landlord! 5-stars!"
- Kathee Shatter, CA
