Platinum Dream Properties

Hey friends! I'm building a new You Tube channel and could use your help. When building out content....

What types of real estate investing stories would you like to hear from me?

Code? Or not up to code?

Obviously its not, lol. This looks worse than it is. Having a licensed electrician on your team makes things like this a simple fix.

Expanding my horizons and flew over to Big Island to do some house hunting!

PDP's biggest investment to date is in escrow! A multi-family BRRR! After a year of negotiating we reached an agreement and are on our way to making this dream a reality. It only takes one to change the course of an entire family's future. I'm so grateful!

I mean, if Target can do it, so can we, right!? In all seriousness, I actually saw a Halloween candy display the other day.

Drop a 🍁 or a 🏖 emoji in the comments to tell me whether you're ready for fall or if you're hanging on to summer.

SOLD!!! 🥳

Marlin Lane, Bella Vista, Arkansas, home of the Back 40.

When I was first starting out, I trusted an investor who was offering seller-financed tax deed lots in Bella Vista, Arkansas and purchased four lots. I knew I wanted to invest, and didn't have much money, and this was something that made sense to me. It was a long term strategy. I purchased and held them for the last 12 years, so that when my daughter graduated high school, if she chose to go to college, I could cash these in and pay for it. Kylie graduated last year and chose not to go to college, so I'm cashing these out and investing the profits into cash flowing properties!

🙏I'm so grateful for my agent, Traci Terrahe, eXp Realty, who has gone above and beyond to list, market, door knock, negotiate and get us into contracts on two of the four lots within two days of listing! And we closed in under two weeks!

🎉SOLD!!

Jan 2021, I took my first leap of faith into the Short-Term Rental and Leasehold investment strategy by buying a unit in Island Colony. This week, I closed the sale of this little beauty for a nice profit after 18 months of solid cashflow. I'm so grateful for the PML who trusted my experience and funded the entire deal, for the experience of trusting myself enough to leap and learn to fly on the way down, for my Property Manager who made me money throughout my holding, and for the buyers who are choosing to live in this gem as a second home. While I would have loved to have kept this one, it made sense to sell in this market and to take the proceeds to buy more.

My takeaway: Trust yourself to learn what you need to learn to make a choice if it works for your strategy or not, and trust yourself to figure the rest out as you go. Don't sit on the fence waiting for all the information before you move. By then, the opportunity will have passed.

How do you become a homeowner? It all starts with just a phone call!

Shoot over a DM, and let's get the ball rolling!

Whatever Marie Kondo says, goes. She is, after all, the queen of organization. And who doesn't love a put-together home?

I love waking up in the morning and drinking my cup of coffee in a nice and clean house.

Beautiful things come to those who have a positive mindset. Start each day off with a happy thought and good things will come your way.

Which is it going to be? Don't let something negative ruin a good day. Take charge and make every day a great day.

Where do you feel most alive? Is it a place you've visited, a home away from home, or something as simple as your living room?

I feel most alive when I'm in nature. A nice hike or the beach does the job for me.

New can be scary and initimidating. Don't let that fear ruin things! If you're going through something that is new and out of your routine, fully embrace and trust it!

✨ Sometimes we have to get out of our comfort zone to get things done✨

If there is one thing that helped me get through the past year, it's that I LOVE where I live. It was the best to see how our community banded together to support one another ... and I hope we still support local as all of the craziness of the past year comes to an end!

Here are a few ways you can get out in the community and enjoy living in Oahu this summer.

What's on your summer bucket list?

Every day is an opportunity to do something amazing!

One of the best debates by far, are you team iPhone or team Android?

My kids have been trying to get me to switch to iPhone for years but I love my Android too much to let it go!

You make a difference everyday. Don't stop striving to do your best.

This is a tough one! I think we'd go with walk-in closet. What would you choose?

Sometimes all you need is a little bit of inspiration ✨

If you could only choose between having a picnic in the park or BBQ, which would you choose?

Personally I love having a BBQ at the beach with my closest friends and family.

Here's a tough question!

Would you rather:

✔️ Live without a laundry room?

✔️ Live without a dishwasher?

We almost never use our dishwasher so I could live without that. Let me know what you would pick in the comments!

Puzzles and board games have transcended past our quarantine days. Which do you prefer? Assembling a puzzle or game night?

Personally I love doing a puzzle after a long day. But family game nights are unmatched!

Somedays the only thing that keeps me going is a nice strong cup of coffee in the morning.

What do you need before starting your Monday? Let me know in the comments.

I'm constantly trying to keep up with the new home trends. Lighting fixtures help set the tone of any room. It's important to pick something that makes a statement yet doesn't overpower the setting. Which of these styles do you prefer?
