Buying our Freedom, One Rental Property at a Time...
01-2017 Read about House #40 to catch up on our story. Here’s the story on house #41. Again, we had bought 5 from the same owner, so here we are trying to document what just happened and how we were processing acquiring all these at once. These all came from...
01-2017 Read about House #39 to catch up on our story. Now we will outline what happened with the second house in that group of five properties we bought from that distressed out-of-state landlord. Dave and I still couldn’t believe we had snagged FIVE HOUSES at once. However, this...
01-2017 Read about House #38 to catch up on our story. This is where it starts to get crazy in our story. We’ve now bought four houses in the last few months, including house #37. The transaction was so smooth that the owner called us back and wanted to sell...
12-2016 Read about House #37 to catch up on our story. I know it’s been a while since we last posted. We had a crazy Q4 2020 as we purchased over 200 doors in two apartment complexes… We will document that eventually, but today we are going to focus on...

8-2016 Read about House #34 to catch up on our story. House #35 comes to us courtesy of the MLS. We regularly check our local MLS on har.com to see the cheapest houses in our “farm” area. Most of the time, there are no deals, but once in a while,...
7-2016 We had just finished House #33 when this property fell into our lap. Again the house came through yellow letters. We will keep beating that drum until it breaks. The reason we keep telling this story over and over again is to show that small, consistent steps make the...
June 2016 Hey Stealthies, we hope you had a great 4th of July. I know we did. We spent it with friends and family eating good food and blowing stuff up. It’s time to get back at it, and part of that means documenting our ever-evolving road to wealth. Here’s...
