I WAS a Licensed Professional (PE) Civil/Industrial Engineer, who began investing in 2009 in rainy Seattle after being a ramen-eating cheapo. Once I discovered the difference between ‘Cashflow Investing‘ and ‘Appreciation Investing‘ (i.e. gambling / speculating) . . . I moved my portfolio into 11 single-family rentals in Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Pennsylvania. Over the years, I have invested in Class C & B Multi-Family Apartment, RV Parks, mobile homes, and assisted living facilities, because of this nation’s demand for affordable housing. I quit my day job, and the passive income from investing in stable rental properties made it possible for me to move back home to Hawaii where the cost of paradise is 10%+ cost of living and -30% less pay for comparable jobs in the US mainland. Now my goal is to spread the knowledge and share the tools I’ve gained along the way!
