Welcome! Please Read Me First.

Welcome! I've styled this blog to share info and advice I would have given to myself if I could go back in time.

This blog will be most helpful for people with a similar approach towards investing as me. That means you...

• Are interested in potentially buying rental properties to generate passive income and beat the stock market’s expected ROI over the long run.
• Do not plan to get into real estate full time. Real estate is an investment for you, not a career.
• Live on the coast in an expensive market and intend to invest outside of your local market.
• Have at least $70,000 in savings to invest. This is the minimum amount of money I would expect you’ll need to buy and rehab a decent property in “Middle America” in the current market (November 2017).

I’m blogging because…

• A ton of my friends have asked me to share my experiences because they’re considering real estate investing or at least intellectually curious.
• A ton of experienced investors have provided me with their time to help me learn, and all they’ve asked for in return is that I help other people.

You can learn more about me on my Bigger Pockets and LinkedIn profile pages. The short story is I work in tech in San Francisco, invest in my hometown (Indianapolis), and purchased my first property in November 2017 after about a year of research.

Enjoy.
