Two years ago, I lost my sister Katie Lee to cancer. This morning, I’ve got her favorite jams playing in the car — and just like every other day, she’s on my mind. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her.
She’s gone from sight, but never from the soundtrack of my life.

This 97-year-old house still has plenty of life left in it.
The Midwest is full of opportunity—if you know where to look.
By focusing on what others overlooked, I paved my way to financial independence.

7 AM in Vegas.
My hotel is swarming with 1,200 British Army men in uniform. Either I finally mastered manifestation, or Priceline just earned a five-star review.

I toured this property last summer and was thoroughly impressed.
One unit has been fully renovated, while the other still requires some work. The craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout are truly exceptional.
What does a $280,000 budget get you in your market?

26 years ago, I had a full head of hair, and my baby brother Joey was still in his "adorable" phase—before he fully committed to his lifelong career of being annoying.
Time flies, hairlines recede, and little brothers get bolder. Use your time wisely!

Their loss, my castle. Literally.

I’m currently working on one of my vacant properties, which looks great after being occupied by a tenant for four years. I plan to finish some minor upgrades this week.

I bought a house with a mirrored ceiling in one of the bedrooms.
Yes, I kept it.
And yes, it was awesome.

It would have been cheaper to cover it with vinyl, but restoring these 74-year-old floors was the right choice.

This is a starter home—compact, in a decent location (for the city it’s in), and moderately priced. However, I’ve noticed that many people I meet want to bypass the starter home phase entirely.

The last thing I did with my sister was play rummy.
I saw her cards and discarded what she needed so she could win.
Not long after, she drifted into sleep and never woke again.
Time is our most fleeting treasure.
Cherish it deeply and spend it with intention.
