Throughout the month of February we deliberately took a step back from blogging, because we felt there are more important things in life for us to spend time on at the moment, rather than investing in more real estate properties (and talking about it), and that is to fight the CoronaVirus. DoorInvestor was not set…

Buy Toys with Passive Income
For most of us who work a full time 9-5 W2 job, it is quite common to use our earned income, or sometimes called active income, for spending, whether the spending is for survival or for pleasure. There is nothing wrong with this model, and as a matter of fact, this may be the only…

Owning vs. Controlling
Let’s start off with the famous quote from Rocketfeller, “The secret to success is to own nothing, but control everything.“ What does that actually mean and how does that apply in today’s society? First off, the disclaimer, we are not a law firm and we do not provide any legal advice. What we blog is…

Work When You Want To
It was Veteran’s Day weekend last few days, although it was not a “major” holiday, most companies (except banks) actually requested employees to report to work, but part of the perk for being a real estate investor (a.k.a.

FIRE, Part 2 – Financial Independence with Real Estate
We talked about FIRE as in Financial Independence, Retire Early in a previous blog post (that you can read here). But when it comes to the term of “FIRE,” we also have a slightly different, but playful interpretation of what it means. At DoorInvestor, FIRE also means Financial Independence with Real Estate. It is quite…

When Can I Retire?
Have you ever asked yourself (or your friends) this question, “When can I retire?” Traditionally, we think of reaching the goal of retirement when we have $X in our bank account. For example, one will say, “I can retire when I have 2 million dollars in my bank.” Although that is a very common and…

FIRE – Financial Independence, Retire Early
People often have a negative impression when it comes to the concept of “retirement.” Some may say, “it will be so boring when you do nothing at home;” other may say, “we should be productive to this world and not waste our talents.” I do not disagree with all these statements, but at the same…
