Way back in the summer of 1998 I set this crazy goal of buying 10 income properties in 10 years or less.
It was a gnarly goal at the time.
In a nutshell…
I had a negative $45,000 net worth.
I was living in a crappy studio with my girlfriend.
I was self-employed and banks didn’t want to loan to me.
Little did I know that when I threw down the gauntlet and challenged Mr. Universe with my audacious plan, he laughed.
As the saying goes,
“Man plans, God laughs.”
This blog is about the journey, current challenges managing a 100+ unit portfolio, kids, dogs and a full time career.
What could possibly go wrong?
It will also offer tips and tricks for hacking your financial life with all the great information that buzzes through my headphones while running around listening to podcasts from some of the top experts in the investing field.
The goal is to inspire you to take action to achieve financial freedom in ten years or less.
What is financial freedom?
The day you have created enough passive income to replace your monthly after tax living expenses.
Or you can simply laugh and learn from my mistakes.
I have no clue where this site will go since I’m a “fire first” versus a “ready-set-aim fire” type of guy when it comes to goal setting.
All I can say is I’ve had this “Ten 2 A Million” idea burning in the back of my brain for sometime now.
It’s time to scratch the creative itch and see what happens.
If you stumble upon this site and would like to learn more, shoot me an email with questions via the contact link.
This will help provide you with good content and hopefully allow us to build a community of like minded ten 2 millionaires.

Nice place to enjoy a cold Corona and lime
I was curious to know if you’re consultation would be able to help me find Multifamily units in my “strike zone.” The reason I ask, my condo I live in is a 2/2 and it’s $140,000, Duplexes go for $350,000+.
I am also self-employed.
And I am looking for my first investment.
All the obstacles. Lol.
I could help with deal positioning and long range goals coupled with tips I’ve used on financing to grow my portfolio. You are off to a solid start since you already own a property and are willing to do the work.
Lets do it then… 🙏🏻
Ray, go to my clarity.fm link on home page and let’s set up a chat. Hoping I can point you towards your goals based upon my experience. I started with virtually nothing and learned how to grow via creative finance and lots of hard work and hustle.
