Hi y’all – I started this blog last June without much direction. I wanted to document and share my journey to achieving FIRE (Financial Independence; Retire Early)…. and so far I have…
Along the way, I have made a lot of friends blogging and had a few decent posts like The $30,000 Car That Cost My Friend over $240,000 and Passive Income: The Holy Grail of Financial Independence and Retiring Early. However, my blog has lacked a bit of a niche or direction.
I am not one to seriously budget, though I loosely follow one. Some consider me frugal but I am not one to be overly frugal. I keep my spending in check but splurge occasionally on travel.
Guy on FIRE’s New Direction
After much debate, and several conversations, my blog has finally found a bit of a niche. I will still post about my path to financial independence…. BUT! Future posts will focus more on real estate investing (and passive income), like my newest investment property. I firmly believe that real estate is (one of) the best way to obtain financial freedom and a great form of (mostly) passive income.
Moving forward, I will share monthly updates on ALL of my properties. I will let you, my readers, know ALL the details.
I will share information like collecting rents, mortgage payments, dealing with tenants, the random repairs and any other items that may pop up…. Believe me, I have seen some pretty crazy stuff as a landlord/property manager. I have also successfully house hacked my living situation so that I get PAID to live somewhere… Why pay for something if you don’t have to?
I am not going to sugar coat anything, but owning cash flowing real estate is pretty sweet (don’t judge my corny puns). You will get a full look into the good, the bad and the ugly of being a landlord (slumlord?). I hope my future posts will encourage readers to think about real estate and how it may help them achieve their financial goals.
Other Posts
I will still post about dividends since I believe they are a great…. no, AMAZING source of PASSIVE income. Such post will still be documented at The Dividend Report.
I still plan to have a few random posts related to FIRE, personal finance, and future travel plans. However, moving forward, expect a lot more about real estate investing and other forms of passive income.
Yours truly,
Guy
PI king a niche is hard! I think you did it the right way by testing out writing on a few things to find the one thing you really wanted to focus on. 🙂 It’s a great topic! Good luck.
Thanks Ms. Montana! Also, appreciate you reading. Hope you stick around for future posts
This topic is one of interest to me as we look at potentially renting out our starter home in 1-2 years. I look forward to more articles!
Thanks Melanie! Feel free to contact me any time if you have questions. Happy to help.
