Your Time, Your Choice.
This applies to real estate investing—but also applies to EVERYTHING IN LIFE you want to do… YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR TIME. I hate when I talk to someone and they say they “don’t have time.” If you don’t have time for something, it’s not important to you. Plain and simple.…

How COVID-19 has affected my AirBnBs
I started hosting on AirBnB about three years ago. I immediately loved it and immediately knew this was my opportunity to create financial freedom for myself. I took my savings from my first listing (in a third floor apartment where I made $12-$15 a night!) and used it as my down payment to buy my…

The work! Moving is…

Write. Just write something.
So, I ask myself, why write something? I am definitely not the writing type. I am the math-for-fun, creating-excel-sheets-with-nested-if-functions type. So, again, why write? I love my job. It takes up most of my day and a lot of my thoughts outside of my work day. But, I think about the world and I think…
