Built by Family.
Built to Last.
Our Story
Keith and Kyle Shaver grew up watching their grandfather build quietly and deliberately — and they took notes.
Keith spent his career in healthcare, rising from X-ray technician to CT specialist, earning his MBA along the way, and ultimately leading as a Hospital Director. Kyle spent his career in information technology, climbing from help desk to Director of IT. Two different fields. The same work ethic.
Both brothers recently stepped away from their careers to focus on something they’d been building toward for years — a family real estate company designed to create generational wealth and outlast them both.
When their father passed away the week of Thanksgiving 2025, Keith and Kyle inherited several properties. They honored their dad by stepping up — leveraging the stepped-up basis, deploying capital wisely, and turning an inheritance into the foundation of something bigger.
“Dawdy” — Where It All Began
Keith and Kyle’s grandfather — known to the family as “Dawdy” — was orphaned at age 15. He found work at a hotel, trading eight hours of labor a day for a room and meals. He did not let that stop him. He put himself through school, earned his doctorate in Education, and went on to lead the Educational Psychology department at California State University, Long Beach for many years.
Dawdy was a builder in the quietest way possible. He bought T-bills. He purchased his first rental property in the early 1970s. He never went on vacation — his free time was spent in his garage, reading and studying. He drove a 20-year-old car. He saved. And saved. And saved.
“He did not talk about wealth. He built it.”
Quietly, steadily, without fanfare. That ethos — work hard, live below your means, invest the difference, build something that lasts — is the DNA of K Shaver Properties.
Keith and Kyle are carrying it forward.

Our Mission
K Shaver Properties, LLC was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to build lasting, generational wealth through strategic real estate investment — and to do it as a family.
We believe that real estate is one of the most reliable paths to financial freedom. By acquiring and holding well-chosen rental properties in strong, growing markets, we create steady cash flow, long-term equity, and a foundation that will benefit not just us, but future generations.
Our “30 by 30” goal — 30 doors by 2030 — is more than a number. It’s a commitment to growth, to accountability, and to proving that a small, family-run operation can compete, scale, and thrive in today’s real estate landscape.
“Building generational wealth — one door at a time.”
