Rental Property Number 22 Has Been Purchased

Last week, I bought my 22nd rental property. It was a commercial property that was previously used as a restaurant. The property is not very large, and the lot is tiny, but it is in a great location. This is the second rental property I have bought this year, the first being a 68,000-square-foot strip mall. I bought the largest and smallest rentals I own in the same year. This property should be…

What Is the Best Thing about Being an Entrepreneur?

Being an entrepreneur is not for everyone. Many people don’t want to take the risks or have the complete control that an entrepreneur has. For me, being an entrepreneur is perfect for my attitude and personality. When I was younger, I did not like authority, and I hated it when people told me what to do. One of the best things about being an entrepreneur, especially for me, is that I have…

How Hard Is It to Get a Loan on a House Flip?

I flipped 26 houses last year and over 155 in my career. There is no way I could flip that many houses without getting loans on them. I have more financing costs when I use a loan to flip, but I make more money overall because I can flip more houses. So how hard is it to get a loan on a house flip? House flipping loans are much different than the 30-year mortgages you get when you buy a house to…

How To Live Life with Few Regrets

The things I regret most in life are not the things I tried and failed at but the things I never tried at all. I can remember many instances in my youth when I should have taken a chance and done something. Those are the moments I regret most in life, not when I took a chance and things did not work out like I hoped they would. This lesson can be applied to almost anything in life, whether it be…

That One Time I Bought A Meth House that Burned Down

I just realized that I have never told the full story about the meth house my dad and I bought that burned down. We did not know it was a meth house when we bought it, but we found out soon enough, and then to top it all off, the house burned down, and we had to completely rebuild it. This all happened in 2003 when I first started in the business as an agent and helped my dad buy the occasional…

What is Zombie House Flipping?

Zombie house flipping is a television show on A&E, and it is also a term for houses that have been vacant for years. I was sucked into the show the other day even though I get really frustrated watching house-flipping shows. I have flipped over 155 houses and have 16 flips going right now. I get really annoyed watching the house-flipping shows because they are so unrealistic and do not show the…

Has the Housing Market Slowed Down in Colorado?

I have been a real estate agent and broker in Colorado since 2002. I have also been a real estate investor in the Colorado market.

I am also the managing broker and owner of Blue Steel Real Estate. I need to make sure I…

What is Creative Real Estate Investing?

I hear people use the term creative real estate investing all the time. Creative real estate investing can mean a lot of things, but I tend to see it when people are trying to make a deal out of a property that is not a deal. That may rub people the wrong way, but in my opinion, investing in real estate with basic fundamentals is better than creative real estate investing all day long. I am not…

Can Books Teach You How To Invest in Real Estate?

I have been successful in real estate, and I can thank books for much of that success. My father taught me how to flip houses, but books were what taught me about rental properties. While books may not be able to teach you everything you need to know about real estate investing, they can be an amazing resource and help you get started. I have heard from many people who were able to buy multiple…

Rental Property Number 22 is Under Contract

This year has been a little slow with the number of rentals I have bought, but I did buy a $2.1 million dollar rental earlier this year with 68,000 square feet. I just got my second rental property of the year under contract which is a much smaller property with only 1,200 square feet. They are both commercial properties as I have not bought a residential rental since 2015. The property I got…

Did Warren Buffet Get Rich by Investing in Stocks?

When I talk about investing in the stock market versus investing in real estate, I often hear that the stock market is a better investment because of what Warren Buffet has done. Warren Buffet has made billions of dollars in his career, but was it because he invested in stocks? I think Warren Buffet has made his billions from the stock market but not in the traditional way most people invest.…

I put this post together to show some of the better transformations on recent flips we have done. I will also try to tell a story or two about the properties. There always seems to be something that goes wrong or not quite…

Does the Book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Teach How to Invest in Real Estate?

Does the Book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” Teach How to Invest in Real Estate?

Robert Kiyosaki’s book Rich Dad Poor Dad was a huge motivator for me to invest in real estate. However, it did not teach me how to actually invest, just that I needed to. I hear all the time how great the book is, and I agree that it was a great book, but I don’t think it did a good job of actually teaching how to invest. There is also the issue that Rich Dad Real Estate training can cost up to…

Before and After Video on a 1918 House-Flip Restoration

I bought a house last year that was built in 1918. I shot a video right after I bought it, one during the rehab, and one after we finished everything. I just posted a video today on the complete process with all the numbers on our expenses and profit. The houses needed a lot of work, and I knew I was making an emotional purchase. However, I thought it would be really cool to buy the house and…
