Rental Property Number 22 Has Been Purchased

Last week, I bought my 22nd rental property. It was a commercial property that was previously used as a restaurant. The property is not very large, and the lot is tiny, but it is in a great location.

I’ve now encountered at least three different properties — none close to one another — that all claimed that status in just the last month.

“Are You a Realtor?” “Why, Yes I Am!”

Image
“There Goes My Realtor!” Admittedly, the intended effect is for clients who see me in and around the neighborhood where I live (by Cedar Lake in Minneapolis) to see my car on the road and say, “There Goes My Realtor!” But, my custom license plate (above) is also a conversation-starter when I’m parked. Like today, in Linden Hills, where a builder who has an upcoming listing saw my car and asked if I was a Realtor.
