About Solutions
Built by investors, for the market.
We started Solutions Property Management, LLC because we saw how many distressed properties were sitting untouched — neighborhoods that needed investment, homes that needed a second life. Nearly two decades later, we've turned that conviction into a growing national operation.
Our Story
How we got here
Solutions Property Management, LLC was founded in 2005 by Beth and Don Cornelius — a husband and wife team who believed the fix-and-flip model could be done better, with more discipline, better systems, and a genuine commitment to the communities they worked in.
They started with a handful of deals and built a contractor network they could trust. Their son Donovan joined the business and today the three of them run every aspect of the operation together — from sourcing to sale.
What hasn't changed is the core of what they do: find properties that have been overlooked, put in the work to restore them, and bring quality homes to buyers who want them.
How We Think
What we stand for
Discipline over volume
We'd rather pass on a marginal deal than force a bad one. Every acquisition goes through the same rigorous underwriting — no shortcuts.
Execution is everything
A great deal on paper means nothing if the rehab runs over budget or the sale drags. We're obsessed with execution at every stage.
Local knowledge, national reach
We're currently active in New York and Ohio, and we're open to opportunities in any state. Wherever we work, we build real relationships with agents, contractors, and deal sources on the ground.
Straight talk
With sellers, partners, and our own team — we say what we mean. No inflated offers, no hidden fees, no surprises at the closing table.
