Yahoo (YHOO) Stock

What is going on with Yahoo stock? It has been jumping like crazy the past week since they launched the update to their advertising. I sold a little bit of my holdings in Yahoo after it jumped to 29 or 30 to diversify a bit. The stock is actually more expensive than Google’s (GOOG) stock based on their P/E.

Rental Home in Saratoga Springs, Utah

I have a rental home in Saratoga Springs, Utah. For those not familiar with the area, it is a new booming town next to Utah Lake. I was there in the fall of 2005 even though the city was rather small, I could see a ton of homes being built there and the growth potential. I picked up a single family home preconstruction home there with the plan of holding it 3-5 years as I believe the market still has quite a bit of ways to go. I’m hoping for 5% appreciation or more over the next few years.

Anyway, I was able to rent out the home after I closed on it and now that tenant is expecting to move out at the end of this month. I’ve started posting ads on a few online classifieds and have gotten a few people interested but no applications yet. One person is suppose to call the current tenants to setup a time to check out the home so I’ll cross my fingers on that.

I originally filled this home by placing an ad in the local newspaper and am very fortunate that I haven’t had to use a property management company because these tenants are some of the best I’ve ever had! All my other homes, I do use property management.

Welcome

Welcome everyone! This is actually my first blog. Yes, I know I’m a few years late to the game but it is never too late. I’m not new to the Internet or writing online. I started a content site way back in 1998 and have maintained it on a regular basis till the dot-com bust. The site is still up and brings in a few bucks here and there from the ads but I have since moved on to focus more on affiliate marketing in my quest to make enough to be able to quit my day job. This blog will just be a place where I write about my various experiences in my wealth journey to exit the 9-5 job and be able to have a combination of passive income and my own company bringing in the money.
