Another Rental Propportunity
One of my goals for this year was to purchase a rental property to further diversify my passive, well semi-passive, income sources. After the first quarter of the year I figured it probably wouldn't be a realistic option because there's a lot of obstacles to overcome given my work schedule. It had been a while since I looked at potential real estate investments but earlier this month I decided to browse around a bit on the internet and found a really great opportunity.

The previous owners had added on an extra room that added an extra 342 sf to the house which is essentially a second living room. I used to live in this same neighborhood before my wife and I bought our own house and the area is in a great location with easy access to two main highways.
