“Most people don’t recognize opportunity because it often comes disguised as hard work.”
“Opportunity paged me, beeped me, linked me, emailed me, faxed me and spammed me, but I was expecting it to knock.”

Questions:
Send your questions to questions@rogerblankenship.com
- Neil, Atlanta, GA “when a wholesaler sends you a tri-plex with fix n rent turn to 4 plex for all in for 230k plus 97k for rehab 4K rents, is this a deal? or turn in to a single family for $117 k rehab for 415k ARV would this be a deal?
- Vicky, Florence, SC “Should we hold off buying flips right now? What will the selling environment be like under lockdown?”
- Jim, Flint, MI “Our Governor just extended our state of emergency. My tenants are calling to say they don’t have to pay any rent for the next few months and there’s nothing I can do about it. What would you suggest I say?”
- Caroline, Muncie, IN “I’m following your inexpensive house idea and have a buyer who is wiring me the down payment. Unfortunately they missed the cutoff yesterday (this was a Friday) and I won’t receive the money until Monday. They have provided the receipt for the wire from their bank and it looks legit. Would you let them move in? They want to move this weekend.
- Sanders, Toronto, “What are the tax implications for me if I buy properties in Detroit?”
- Reggie, Lakeland, FL “I saw you on Facebook the other day. Interesting stuff. You were talking about income streams. How do you create multiple income streams all from real estate?”
- Gemma, Madison, WI, “What are some things I should or should not say to a realtor when first getting into the business?”
- Francis, Jacksonville, FL “Would you put a new roof on a house when the current one looks a little shabby but doesn’t leak and has 10 years left on it’s rating? It’s asphalt shingles. The bad appearance is caused by tree sap, so I’ve been told. Could we just power wash it instead?”
Motivational Thoughts for the day
“I guess I just got lucky. I’m lucky my alarm clock goes off at 5 am so I can get to the gym, get a full workout and still be at the office before everyone else. I’m lucky my car can connect with the internet and play educational recordings during my commute. I’m lucky my office has electricity so I can turn on the lights and stay late. I’m lucky that I’m not interested in TV but would rather enrich my life through reading and research. I’m lucky that I learned to push on even when life gets difficult or I just don’t feel like it on a given day. I’m just lucky like that.”
