About Tyron McDaniel

Tyron began his real estate career working in a mortgage broker’s office as a secretary back in 2000, with the ultimate goal of one day becoming a home builder and developer of affordable housing. After becoming a Mortgage Broker, then a Real Estate Agent, Tyron began to purchase rental properties before venturing into the Buy, Fix & Flip space. This ultimately led to him becoming a homebuilder in 2005, setting the foundation for Houston Vintage Homes and its sister companies, which are focused on the design and development of affordable housing in inner-city communities around the country.

With a keen eye for design and historical context, Tyron now works with multiple cities, and coaches and mentors investors, home builders and developers from around the country in creating affordable housing solutions to meet the ever-growing need for more affordable housing.
