We are still in a real estate expansion phase.  

We are buying two houses right next to each other.

We are able to save about $100K per year so putting down $85K is possible for us with our current situation. 

For our second STR, we are currently researching Sherman, potentially / ideally, a less expensive duplex that we could rennovate and self manage from Dallas with workers coming to the area in mind. 

Because we have a very large community of investors that buy thousands of homes across the country every year, we are able to negotiate better buying opportunities (and loan options) than you would likely find on your own as an individual investor.

Quote from @Edgar Duarte: hi allI would love to get some perspective from your expertise, we have a property that we would have to sell in 2025 to avoid paying taxes on the capital gains, we believe we rcan sell it for $700K and get an equity of almost $500K after paying the mortgage balance, if we invest all of it option in index funds at 7% rate (standard com growth calculator), or in more rental properties as we are all here for, I can get the equity of around $900K.option B would be keep paying the house at 2.3% int rate while we have it in AirBnB and maybe sell it in 10 years for $900K, knowing that we would be paying taxes but it is not that bad still. or we can 1031 at that point?

What is it you do in real estate in Redding?

I share my journey with you to help you see the unconvential path that we went on for a decade and how that helped us get to where we are today.

Snow plowing is an emergency service , we are on call 24/7 for the entire winter , the prices you pay cover the salt that we stock , the prep for each storm , the desalting of the trucks , the overtime .

we are seeing more and more of this.
