Well, we are down to the last day of 2014! So, just before we flip the page and go “out with the old, and in with the new”, I would like to take some time to reflect back on the goals set earlier this [click to continue…]

December 2014
It’s been awhile since I’ve injected fresh capital into beefing up the cash flow. The last two deals I won were appreciation plays far off into the distant future. And although I am very grateful to have landed those deals, I’m already realizing that my quest for cash flow is nowhere near [click to continue…]

If you’re like me and read a lot of forums (whether stocks or real estate), a common question that always comes up is, “If you had x amount of money, how would you invest it?”

In the last post, I did some reflection and concluded that I needed to be more careful with my investments as I try and navigate through the last stages of early FI.
And just like it is my nature, I then go around and do something the complete opposite of that (explanation below)! This week, I put in an offer for another Bay Area rental property, and just learned that the seller accepted the bid!
So, just like that, I am now under contract to [click to continue…]

Lately, I’ve been hanging out with a lot of successful investors. Multi-millionaires, if you will, who could EASILY retire tomorrow and live out the rest of their lives in extreme comfort and relaxation. However, time and time again, I find that these people are now even more consumed with building [click to continue…]
