Fundamentals of Rental Real Estate

Instructor – Brandon Scholten

Brandon Scholten was born and raised in Longmont, CO. He was exposed to real estate and property management at a young age, as his mom, Bets, was a top agent at Coldwell Banker and self-managed a portfolio of over 50 rental units. His first hands-on experience came in high school, helping with maintenance at those properties. After graduating from Colorado Christian University in 2007 with a degree in business finance, Brandon joined a real estate investment group, where he eventually managed a growing rental portfolio beginning in 2010.

From that experience, Brandon started Keyrenter Property Management Denver in April of 2015. Today, the company manages over 1,100 homes, has been awarded Franchise of the Year six times (most recently in 2025), and has been named to the Denver Business Journal’s Best Places to Work list for three consecutive years. Brandon’s vision is to build a massive, positive, and truly meaningful social footprint across Denver, grounded in the belief that housing plays a critical role in the health of a community.

Brandon lives in Denver with his wife and three children. In addition to leading Keyrenter Denver, he coaches and teaches other property management business owners, helping them grow as leaders and build strong businesses.
