My last 30-days of trading has been absolutely awesome. I started trading more seriously and working harder in May, but hit a rough patch from mid-August until mid-September. I had to take a step back, recalibrate, and reevaluate my strategy. Here are some things I learned.

Two years ago we paid $740,000 for our new primary in California on a 5.75% 30-year fixed rate. Everyone told us we overpaid and I had a number of folks tell me we should rent for at least a year, wait for rates and prices to come down. Today interest rates are 7.00% and the

I paid $175 to have the grass cut at 5 of my Detroit rentals yesterday. I'll do this every 2-weeks until the end of October. That means it will cost me $4,375 to have the grass cut this year. My attitude toward this has completely changed. I'm happy to pay it. Here's why.

In 1985 you were paying nearly 36% of your gross income to your mortgage. In 2022 you were paying 30%. That means baby boomers had it 19% HARDER than millennials. Here's the graph that matters.

If you painstakingly retrieve interest rates, median incomes, and median home prices back to 1965 your graph looks like this. The worst year for home affordability was 1981 where buyers were paying 40% of their gross income toward their mortgage. Ouch!

So I adjusted. I now focus on expirations 3-4 weeks out and buy at-the-money or slightly in-the-money contracts. This has helped MASSIVELY because it reduces my drawdown through corrections, obviously, but it also allows me a luxury I didn’t previously have - patience.

All of my leases say that tenants are responsible for lawn care. But they aren't great about it. These are C Class areas where the median house price is ~$150,000 Now that I mow the lawns ever 2-weeks the houses look better, more appealing, and well kept. This ripples.

Why would you EVER decrease the price by such a small amount? I think the logic here is you're freshening up the listing by pinging people (like me) w/ alerts. But I really think it does more damage than good. A "drop" like this screams unreasonable & unmotivated seller.

In 1985 you could get a mortgage for 12.5% interest. In 2022 it was an average of 5.5% Your payment toward your mortgage: 1985 = $703/mo 2022 = $1,884/mo Still looks ok, right? Not quite.

The late 1960's and (very) early 1970's were great times to buy. So were the years from 2009 through 2011. If the 1980's are any guide, it could be a decade before affordability gets much better.
