Yesterday, James was on the @thefishowguys podcast and they discussed women worrying about getting ‘bulky’ from lifting weights 💪🏽
-
Bitch, please 💁🏼‍♀️
-
Lifting weights helps me push the boundaries of what my body is capable of, helps me relieve stress, gives me more confidence, and helps me look better too. What’s not to like? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Flip Alert! Made $50 and got a free coffee table on a quick and easy flip💰
-
Inspired by all of @whitney_hansen_co’s posts about flipping, we found this coffee table and barstool about 20 min outside of town for $50 🚚
-
Once we got it home, I cleaned it up, took some better pictures of it, and listed the chair for $100 📸
-
It took 14 days, but the right person came along and bought it. She loves it, and we are happy with the small profit for very little effort 🤷🏻‍♂️
-
As an added bonus, we get to keep the coffee table to put in our upcoming Airbnb. We have it listed for $150 (which would be a $200 profit for the pair) but we are happy if it doesn’t sell.

New whip who dis? 🚐 – We picked up this 2008 Ho

New whip who dis? 🚐
-
We picked up this 2008 Honda Element for $3500 and we are in love! 💙
-
We’ve already moved a futon, tables, chairs, saws, bikes, people, and more. We got it because of the crazy storage capacity, the solid reliability, and the cheap price. Perfect for us and the rentals 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️

Just filled a vacancy on one of our duplexes! Swipe to see the before 👉🏽

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 🤑
-
In the kitchen we put in:
🛠New flooring with the help of @codydberman
🎨 Painted the cabinets & walls
👚 Installed a washer & dryer
🍳 Installed a new stove

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. 🏡
