Kari Lyke is co-founder and chief consultant of the Sherpa Companies, a real estate investment firm headquartered in Orlando, Florida. Kari began her real estate career in 2011 when she acquired her first property while getting married out of state to now husband Howie, being a stay at home mom to one and eight year old boys, all while living in Georgia.
Today, together, with her husband, Kari and her team focus on creating value while maximizing profitability and revitalizing both residential and commercial assets. 

Specializing in retail, office, and multi-tenant properties, the commercial side of the Sherpa Companies focuses on acquiring both non-performing and underperforming assets and funding redevelopment capital to maximize profitability by stabilizing and revitalizing these assets to their highest and best uses.
As a real estate investor who buys and sells properties primarily in Central Florida, Kari has transacted about 200 properties in the last 10 years, rehabbing dozens of those properties, holding and managing many of the others through as both long and short term rentals.

A licensed real estate agent in Florida, Kari is also a coach on the art of real estate acquisition using no banks and very little money out of pocket and host of the growing Podcast, “The Investor Warrior”. While being recognized as a local business leader and central Florida resident, Kari is a gardening enthusiast, avid runner, and mother enjoying the outdoors spending time with her family and friends in a community she loves.
