Buying our Freedom, One Rental Property at a Time...
New to our story? check out House #9 April 2014 Hard to imagine this was our tenth deal. In one year we have bought over ten houses keeping 8 of them. Looking back, we can confidently say that holding real estate is our best chance at achieving real wealth and...
May 2014 This property was a fun one. We sent out about 500 letters over the last few months, and one of the calls we received was for 28710 Eastern Rosette. It was our traditional three-bedroom, two-bath house in an older neighborhood, but one with desirable schools. It was built...
May 2014 We did it! With enough cash from our prior houses, we decided to buy a home with cash! 22502 Depraving Tigers was a little, unassuming house that we found through our yellow letters. The owner was VERY interested in the fact that we could close in less than...
After the last two deals, we were ready for a keeper, a house we could hold onto and rent for a long time. After all, this was our primary goal: to acquire rental properties, have the tenants pay down the mortgages, make a little cash flow, and benefit from appreciation...
8-2014 Rental House # 14 – 22204 Loaf Smallness Time to get to 14 properties. It was amazing to think we were about to reach that number of houses after just two short years. 22204 Loaf Smallness was a little different than our previous homes, however. This house was a...
8/2014 2350 Sauntering Sunlamp – Duplex #2 As soon as we got House #14 locked down, we were all ready to go on a second duplex nearby. We found this property through our yellow letters yet again. These letters are making us so much money! Somehow, those little yellow letters...
8-2014 Rental House # 16 – 23319 Vented Earwig With our first two duplexes under our belt, it felt good to get a “normal” lead again. We were mailing yellow letters to about 500 homeowners twice a month. Once again, we got a hit on a letter for 23319 Vented...
October 2014 6503 Brokerage Divot – once again, we had to flip a property to get some cash. This house was just like the rest; our yellow letters were working incredibly well. A single guy owned this home who was freshly divorced, and all his kids had grown and left...
11/13/2014 Perfect Little Flip House I know we’ve highlighted a bunch of flips here so far, but hopefully, this is our last one for a while. We are in that constant need of more capital to fund more long term deals, and so that’s the case with house #18 3122...
3-6-2015 House #19 2014 Chou Dow Route – A long-term hold We grabbed house #19 off yellow letters yet again. I know it sounds really mundane how we source these deals, but we are creating a cash flow snowball, and it’s starting to gain some serious momentum. 2014 Chou Dow...
