Syndication Investments Update and What I Have Learned

November 30, 2023 By ESI 14 Comments

As most of you know, interest rates have gone up dramatically over the past year or so. In addition, many of you are aware that I'm a real estate syndication investor and might realize that those deals often involve borrowing (and thus could be susceptible to interest rate changes -- for instance, having variable rate debt in a rising rate world.) Given that, I get a lot … [Read more...]

How To Invest In Short Term Rentals

July 6, 2023 By ESI 5 Comments

Today we have another guest post from Dr. Jeff Anzalone, AKA The Debt Free Doctor. Jeff is no stranger to ESI Money readers as he's written several real estate-focused guest posts here. In fact, he's written so many that I think of him more now as a real estate guy and less as a doctor. Hahaha. His last post here was 10 Ways to Invest in Real Estate for Retirement in case … [Read more...]

10 Ways to Invest in Real Estate for Retirement

February 23, 2023 By ESI 10 Comments

As you probably know, I have been a real estate investor for just about a decade. I bought my places in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2012-13. Doing so was the combination of the right time to buy (there was still blood in the water from the financial and real estate meltdown) along with a great market (very affordable.) When I tell people today that I bought 14 doors (3 … [Read more...]

How My First Property Purchase Went South

March 16, 2022 By ESI 5 Comments

It's been a long and winding road. Hahaha. That's one of my favorite songs from the Beatles. ;) I went from knowing nothing about real estate, to finding a mentor, to buying several places, to running them (through a property manager), to (very recently) selling them all. It was a nine-year saga from end to end. And it was quite successful. My real estate efforts … [Read more...]

Why and How I Sold My Last Rental Property

August 6, 2021 By ESI 29 Comments

Last time I wrote about my real estate investments I said I had sold two of my three properties. In that post I gave reasons for why I did so. These include 1) I have won the game and wanted to stop playing it and 2) I want less time and more simplicity in my life. I suggest you read that post if you want more of the "whys" behind why I have sold. I will review some … [Read more...]

Why and How I Sold Most of My Rental Properties

May 8, 2021 By ESI 49 Comments

As regular readers know, I have been a rental property owner for the last eight and a half years.

I thought it might be a good time to begin investing in real estate. So I set up a lunch with a … [Read more...]

My Dividend Stock Results after One Year

March 31, 2021 By ESI 15 Comments

As you probably know, a year ago I purchased some dividend stocks. The market had just tanked and I felt like it was time to pounce on some investments that I had been watching for some time (but were just too expensive IMO to buy). Well, the coronavirus took care of the expensive part and knocked the entire market for a loop in March 2020. Having lived through … [Read more...]
