About me

Whatever you can dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
When I bought my first fixer-upper house in 2002, it was a turning point in my life. At that time my only goal was to try to get some economic security by repairing my broken down house, and renting it to someone who would pay me enough so that I could make a little extra money every month. I wanted economic security. What I got was a lot more than that.
Now, many houses later, I have found a degree of economic security. My business has been successful, and I like to share what I have learned with others so that they can live fuller and richer lives as well.
A problem that many people experience is how to have a more secure life, and how to take control of your own destiny.
Owning rental houses is not the only answer and maybe not the easiest answer, but it is a business that has proven to work for people throughout time, and it is something that is accessible to the average Joe or Joanna.
The fixer upper and rental house business is something that anyone can learn to do and master, with time. It’s ideal for the do-it-yourself person, and as a mom-and-pop operation. It can be as big or small as you want it to be. I encourage people to do what I did and run your rental business on the side, while still holding down your regular 8:00 to 5:00 job.
It’s not hard to get started. It can be as easy as turning your house into a rental property when you buy a newer house to live in.
Along with my wife, Angy, and sons, Jason and Bryan (affectionately known as “I want” and “buy me,”), I continue to buy houses, repair them, and rent them out. I also share my knowledge by teaching classes, appearing as a guest on radio shows, speaking to community groups, and at conferences.
Previously, I was a Peace Corps Volunteer and worked with rural schools in southern Honduras.
