Property Owners

Karen J. Forté is a rental property owner who currently rents to several families using Housing Choice Vouchers. Her business, Forté Property Management, has flourished with the help of CHA’s Owner Symposium. She started attending the event in 2009 and has found it to be an invaluable resource. 

Hundreds of property owners and industry professionals attended CHA’s 15th annual Owner Symposium last week. The Owner Symposium is an education and networking event designed to equip property owners, managers, realtors, brokers, investors and residential rental housing professionals with the timely tools and knowledge they need to strengthen communities and grow their business.

Freddie Jones-Smith is an HCV property owner in Chicago who owns two three-flat buildings and a single-family home. She has been able to understand the rules and regulations of a complex industry because of the information she received at the CHA Owner Symposium.
