Today I didn’t do much as I spent the day watching my truck being worked on. It didn’t cost a whole lot, but the day was shot. What I did do was email Anton the loan officer. I told him about our plans to add units and asked him for some guidance. I want to…

I didn’t do much today other than listen to BRRRR some more. I also gave some thought to my options if I can’t get approved for a construction loan for the ADU projects. 1. Sell the duplex while we still get the owner-occupied exemption and roll it over into something bigger. There is about 600k…

I think I’m going to be second-guessing myself quite a bit on this journey. I started listening to BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refi, Repeat) and found out that my strategy of Googling “emerging rental markets” and choosing the cities mentioned the most is not the right idea. That aside, I’m really enjoying the book. I…

The Beginning (Kind of)
Hello, my name is Brian and I have started this blog to chronicle my journey to winning the rat race. I’ve decided that I would like to make a concerted effort to amass income-producing assets to provide security and freedom for my family. This blog is one of the ways I will use to hold…
