The Baby Steps Story 

 

How We Got Here

I started my first Real Estate Baby Step in 2014. My landlord dropped the bombshell that my rent was going up 25% at the end of the summer. I had been a fantastic tenant and I loved my little rental house, but the news officially “jacked-up” my life and forced me to re-assess what I was doing financially. (I bet some of you have been in a similar spot, right?)

I started from essentially ZERO real-estate knowledge, but over the past 4 years, ended up purchasing a home residence, running a vacation-rental, and starting a side-business in rental homes. I’ve purchased over 10 homes and pursued a dozen others after analyzing hundreds of deals. I've worked on projects solo, with business partners, and now have successful ventures in 3 different states. I kept my day job during all of this, but now my cash-flowing properties are replacing my full time employment.  

Along the way, friends and family have asked:

  • “How does it work?”
  • “How did you afford it?”
  • "Weren’t you nervous?”

The truth is, I had the same questions before I started, and yes, I was nervous. But I started anyways! It's just Real Estate, baby! 

Over the next few years, I coached a business partner and some friends and family through the process.

I've poured my best lessons into this website, and I've also brought on a panel of fellow investors and experts with multi-million dollar holdings in several different states. Our contributors own and operate small family apartments, rental homes, and large complexes. We all learned together and developed systems that will empower and focus your abilities. This site brings you a FREE, step-by-step approach that will help you come along the same trail that has worked well for so many others.
