Please Note This Is Still Under Construction!

 It's likely you found your way here from one of my mailers or signs and want to know who I am and if I am for real.

My name is Mark Duke and I assure you I am for real. 

I am far from perfect but I highly value my honesty and integrity and live by the Golden Rule. 

Born in Tyler and raised in TX. from Tyler, Whitehouse, Greenville, Houston, Austin, and Dallas.

I bought my paternal grandparents house over 20 years ago in Grand Saline and it has been been my home ever since.

The family farm, on my mothers' side, is my "second home" and also in Grand Saline.

I was an aircraft mechanic in the U.S. Air Force specializing in electrical and environmental systems.

I worked on heavy cargo jets C-5's and C-141's, MH53J Pavelow III Special Ops helicopters, and F-16's at the Air Force Flight Test Center. 

 I served on bases in the U.S., Korea, and Germany and visited many different countries during my service.

I lost my significant other to cancer in 1999. I raised our son, now 23, by myself. With a lot of help from family!

There is a lot more to me but that is the short version of who I am. 

Housing costs are out of control. The rising costs have made finding affordable housing difficult for many Americans. I intend to change that one property at a time by purchasing properties in need of significant clean-up, clearing, repairs, demolition, etc. Once cleaned up and ready I will either make those properties available at an affordable price, or provide a clean, safe, affordable rental property.
