Learn Real Estate Rental Investing
I buy rental property and write down everything I get right and wrong — the spreadsheets, the financing, the market reads, the deals I walked away from. There is nothing to buy here. I just think this stuff is better when it’s shared.

It’s the one newsletter I actually open. Feels like a friend explaining the deal, not a guru pitching one.
He shows the real numbers, including the ones that made him lose money. I’ve never seen that anywhere else.
I read every issue for a year before I bought anything. When I finally did, I knew exactly what to look at.

How I read rental demand, jobs, supply and taxes before I ever look at a listing.

Finding deals, running the numbers, and writing an offer that doesn’t get laughed at.
Pick a property manager
Vetting, hiring and staying sane once someone else runs your building.
Writing
Everything →About me
I started buying rental property because I wanted something that didn’t depend on me showing up to a job. Nobody handed me a map. I read too much, asked people who’d done it, made a few expensive mistakes, and slowly built a way of thinking about deals that works.
Writing it down is how I keep myself honest. The playbooks exist because I couldn’t explain a step clearly until I’d written it out. If they’re useful to you too, good — that’s a nice side effect, not a business model.
Things I like: unglamorous cash-flowing buildings, spreadsheets with too many tabs, long walks, letting a deal go. Things I avoid: hype, urgency, anyone who calls property “passive”.
