Landlord by Design Blog

I started this blog as a form of therapy, a way to share ideas about ways to invest in real estate and manage your real estate investments.

I have found most of what is written online about real estate investing and property management is written with a slant to sell a service, course or investment. I wanted to be contrarian to that.

It is an interactive space with all my readers and followers. Some days I will just write a story based on one of my, or a reader’s experience. I welcome and appreciate all the stories from folks like you. Sharing ideas, solutions and advice has helped thousands of readers over the years.

If you are expecting perfectly edited corporate style blog posts with an agenda to sell you something, please leave this page (other than a link to buy one of our books).

If you want interesting helpful stories that tell the truth about the often chaotic world of real estate investing and property management, then enjoy the read.
