We had the good fortune of connecting with Ronnie Nwahiri and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Ronnie, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
In 2018, I got accepted to graduate school in Cincinnati so I booked a trip to visit the campus and stayed at an Airbnb that was a duplex. Upon my arrival, the key lock was not working and the host was not communicative. After an hour of waiting outside the door, the host reaches out and says unfortunately, we changed the locks and forgot to provide new keys. I ended up having to stay in a hotel, which at the time was a huge inconvenience since I was a struggling college kid. This is when Duplex Dynasty became an ideation.
Duplex Dynasty was curated with a vision to provide cost-effective short term rental solutions to everyday consumers and traveling professionals.
Duplex Dynasty is designed to be hospitable convenient solution for guests. Our targeted audience includes:
* Students
* Corporate Housing
* Traveling Professionals
* Everyday Consumer looking for a short term solution
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Duplex Dynasty is a short and long term real estate fully furnished housing solution. We extend our services to consumers looking for stays in the Houston or Austin metro areas. Our properties feature unique designs and setups.
Duplex Dynasty started with one duplex that needed some serious renovation. but was in a rising neighborhood in Austin. We kept growing and expanding every 6 months from there. We’ve made definitive strides that has allowed us to scale faster than your average real estate investment company.
I think running a business is never easy, but we’ve grown to the point where we have automated a lot of processes. Of course, unexpected events occur. There was one week we had a leak in the ceiling and an HVAC blow out it’s capacitor in the middle of summer. When challenges happen, there’s three things to note: it’s all about how you welcome them, respond to them, and learn from them.
Duplex Dynasty is a brand that cares about equity and giving back to consumers. To be successful in the real estate hospitality business you have to be open minded, let go of any egos, and yield to others.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My favorite spots is definitely Lost & Found for a midday brunch. I really love the Museum District and checking out all the cool art. Taking a stroll through the Montrose area, catching a concert at NRG Stadium, watching the Houston Astros play at Minute Maid Park would be a typical week for me in Houston.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to shoutout my biggest support system and business partner: Tucker Parkhouse. He is the arms behind Duplex Dynasty. I also want to give a huge shoutout to my supporters on social media and my family for being behind me every step of the way.
