Step 1: Know Your End Goal In Buying a Rental Property Understanding your end goal is the first step towards purchasing an investment rental property. This end goal should rely on realistic expectations, your financial capabilities, chosen investment strategy, and the answers to the following questions. When do you plan...
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...
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...
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...

December 2013 For house #7 on our asset list, it came from yellow letters once again. We got a call, and my partner, D, negotiated an excellent price for this three-bedroom, two-bath house. They were moving out very soon and were prepared to sell. It needed a little updating and...
Intentionality – the fact of being deliberate or purposive Nothing creates The Stealthy Rich faster than intentionality. This is the same room after a simple intentional make over. (Original catastrophe on the right.) Paint and refinished floors. Seems so simple, but it sat untouched for decades. Until the intentional choice...
The Stealthy Rich live next door to you. Bet you didn’t know we’ve met. It’s currently estimated that there are about 3,000,000 millionaires in the United States today.
