When Kim and I were in our thirties, we knew we needed to start preparing for our retirement years. We both had family and friends who were in their mid-sixties and had to keep working because they couldn’t afford to retire. (Social Security is no substitute for a retirement plan!)
Our big concern was where to invest. My folks had done well in the stock market. Kim’s had done well investing in real estate – they owned rental property. Kim and I decided that real estate was the best way for us to go.
OK, we’ve all heard lots of landlord-tenant horror stories. Sadly, because of these stories, not many folks view rental property as an excellent retirement vehicle. But consider this: When you retire, if you own 10 paid-for rental homes that average $800 a month in rental income, would the $8,000 a month these homes provide help you to live better during your golden years?

Landlords – especially new landlords – often wonder (and worry) whether they are using an effective lease agreement. Truth is, most landlords use terrible agreements.
When we bought our first rental property in 1995, we didn’t know anything about managing rental property or tenants. Needless to say, we also knew nothing about lease agreements. The realtor we used gave us a lease written by the Georgia Association of Realtors (GAR). We thought it was the greatest document ever written! Read More→

It’s really frustrating when a real estate investor calls to ask for advice, then argues when he doesn’t like the advice I give – especially when the advice is square dead-on.
Last July, an investor – we’ll call him David – called asking about a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity that he had been told about. It was a three-bedroom, one-bath home in downtown Atlanta that he could buy for just over $14,000, rehab quickly for $7,000, then sell for $75,000 to pocket a cool $54,000 profit. Needless to say the investor was hot to trot.
A wholesaler brought David the deal. A wholesaler is someone who finds a deal, gets it under contract, and then assigns (sells) the contract to an investor. There are good and bad wholesalers out there… but this was one of the bad ones. Read More→
