Driving towards a future

[Anthony Rodriguez]

I wanted to officially introduce myself here. Although this is my first post here, I’ve been on the bp band wagon for about a year. Last year my wife and I decided to start driving semi trucks so that we could eliminate our debt and to eventually purchase a small resort. The plan: Year 1: pay off debt Year 2: save money Year 3: purchase our investment In November of 2016 we set out on our journey driving over the road delivering goods across the lower 48. When I drove, my wife slept. When she drove, I slept. We drove focusing on our three goals. I eventually found Bigger Pockets and other podcast and emerge ourselves into our goals. The more we drove the more we learn. Each day brought us closer to our dream and light bulbs clicked and plans started brewing. In the last year we were able to eliminate our debt, minus the house. My wife landed a job managing a small resort on Clearwater Beach, AND, her company gave her a unit to live in for free. I’m still driving trucks and our house is being rented out full time! Our three year plan went out the window because we drove ourselves to be greater than we were. We still want to purchase our own resort but for know getting the experience in running one will go a long way. I’ll continue to drive trucks, save money and look into purchasing our next rental. The goal for 2018 will be to purchase 1-2 multi units in the Pinellas County area. Once I have those I’ll stop driving over the road and get into home inspections. From there it’s buy and grow until we land the resort! Thanks for stopping by and if you are looking to stay in Clearwater Beach, let me know! Arod
