When we bought it, we inherited a tenant paying $350 a month. Once he moved out, we DIY’d some cheap & easy renovations and are now getting $650 a month 🤑

3 years ago, we actually made money from a car. 🤯
-
We bought this little Volkswagen TDI for $9k and sold it back to Volkswagen a year and 1/2 later (diesel gate) for $23k! 🚗
-
It broke my heart because James taught me how to drive a stick shift in this beauty. This TDI was so easy to learn how to drive manual, and it was so much fun to drive. It not only told you gear you were in on the dash, but it also had a 3 second hill assist to keep you from immediately rolling back on hills. IMO, it was one of the best of cars I’d ever owned. 💔
-
James, on the other hand, was more than happy to sell this car so we could get over DOUBLE what we paid for it. At the time I was reluctant to sell it (I was emotionally attached to it), but now looking back, I’m so glad we made the decision to sell it. 🚗🤑🚗
-
This influx of cash gave us more money to buy rental properties & retire early. 🏡
