What we...

A timeline of what we've been up to...

2019 was the year we made the most in real estate and also invested the most. So now we're starting from ground zero. With rebuilding out emergency fund and having faith in the process! 

2014

July: We bought our first townhome for $148,000 using the VA loan.

2018

March: We partner with the Proroks and purchased a 6 bedroom home for our residential assisted living home. Purchase price for the house, $275,000. Our input $60,000+ and counting which included closing costs and start-up costs at 33% ownership.

2022

February: We decided to buy another single family home that's 3200 sq ft sitting on almost 1/2 an acre of land with a casita. We went this route to STR the property but was hit with a lot of roadblocks so we decided to live here and rent the casita out.

2022

June: So we never planned to get into the Frenchie world, but when they bring you so much joy, its like a dream come true. As we learn to better the breed and give our fur babies the best lives, we decided to give this a try. We dropped $35k on Lil Miss Sugar Mama. Yupp, this Frenchie life is bananas. But if you know, you know. It's like how we would normally drop $50k on real estate, we decided we wanted to go hard on the Frenchie game and go all in. We just love this breed so much. We just want to spread that joy to everyone else.

July: We sold our Memory Care Home to high level medical professionals and could not turn down an all cash offer. Sad to say goodbye to a baby we all started with the Proroks but God gave us an opportunity to start new things. We all 4X'd our investment and made $450k. <-- split 3 ways.

2023

July: We sold our share of the 52 unit. A year ago I told our GP that I wanted to sell to focus on our own deals. Then he said he knew someone and we sold it for what we put in at $50K. We made about $23k plus or minus with our quarterly payout and depreciation.
