Path to Early Financial Independence
Almost every investor out there, novice or seasoned, will claim that they are a value-oriented investor; I am not one of those people. I don’t make investments with the objective of buying at bargain basement discounts and paying less than retail price. My main focus is on [click to continue…]

It’s been a good week so far. For starters, the weather is warming up and it’s definitely feeling more like summer than spring out here in the Bay Area. I have a local REI meet up scheduled for later today, so I’m definitely looking forward to [click to continue…]

You could say that I have a restless mind. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a person about accomplishing goals and tackling on the next challenges in life. If you rewind the tape, this is something that I’ve been doing since probably the beginning [click to continue…]

There are many ways to look at life — Some people prefer to look at things through a “glass is half full” lens, while others will only scrutinize on why something won’t ever work. You have your look-on-the-brightside optimists, and your eternal pessimists… When it comes to [click to continue…]

Let’s not mince words about it — The local real estate market in the Bay Area is going absolutely ballistic right now. Back in 2012, when I first started buying properties locally, I thought that each and every open house was an insane mad house with too many eager buyers wiling to do whatever it took to secure a deal.
Over the next few years, the flurry of interest has remained strong, but during the end of last year, I had this strong feeling that things were starting to taper off a little bit. When I was looking for [click to continue…]

In the latest of the “Preparing For the Future” series, I would like to mix things up and talk about another burning desire of mine — travel. In the previous two articles, I addressed my plans for future career development (being a real estate agent and growing an online business) as ways to earn extra [click to continue…]
