I bought my first rental property in 1997.

Since then I've built and sold more than 1,000 homes and built a rental portfolio generating over $1 million a year in rent.

This newsletter is where I share what I'm learning, seeing and thinking.

Ideas and strategies to help you build a better life for yourself and your family

Most people aren't trying to get rich. They're trying to build a life that can't easily be pushed around.

Success is how you build things. Create jobs. Pay taxes. Strengthen communities.

We need to change the conversation and start backing people who build.

That's what this newsletter is about.
