08.15.14 Banner Week - Leaderboard & Block Party

Normal 1408144778 Leaderboard

This has been a banner week in some ways, and a disappointment in others.

Tuesday I realized that I was on the BiggerPockets leaderboard, a feat I had written off as impossible. For months I couldn't get my score above 3, then suddenly I'm over 9. Crazy, but fun.

Wednesday our church hosted our third block party on our adopted block in the low income area I spend so much time and energy in. It was a taco feed this year, well attended, and after raining all day the evening was clear.

I was hoping I could add to the list that we placed a tenant this week, but our unit still sits empty. We have a had a lot of interest, and even more completed applications than usual, but few qualify and the one we offered it to flaked out, so we’re back to the drawing board…

  1. (Feeling embarrassed asking) You have a book?  Where's the link to it?


    1. Dawn, don't feel embarrassed, I keep it pretty low key.  I started it before I discovered BP, out of my frustration of not being able to find detailed information.  It doesn't seem as relevant now that I know that BP exists, but I followed through with the project.  It is available on Amazon.


  2. Why thank you Brian! Glad you enjoyed it, hope you got at least $3 of value at it. Four more months to make your first buy a reality in 2014, you can do it!


  3. I just finished your book, really enjoyed it :)

    Learning all I can, want to dive in soon.
