Racking Up Rentals is a show for those of us who never felt at home in the “we buy houses” crowd. In this show, we take a stand against what we call the Lowbrow approach–the mainstream guru-seminar, distressed-seller approach that ends up giving real estate investors a slimy reputation.

Instead, we discuss the strategies, tactics and philosophies we call the Thoughtful way–an enlightened approach to real estate entrepreneurship that focuses on constantly sharpening the sophisticated real estate entrepreneur’s three most critical capabilities:

1. seller relations skills
2. deal architecture skills
3. opportunity vision

When all three of these capabilities are successfully in motion, you can make an excellent living today, AND build long-term wealth while creating value for everyone you touch along the way.

Jeff Stephens has been a full-time entrepreneur since 2003.  Jeff started and ran a marketing agency for 10 years, specializing in brand strategy for community banks and credit unions.  In 2006, he discovered “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” and it changed his life.  He immediately began devouring education about real estate investing, and quickly bought his first rental property–a triplex in Portland, OR.

In 2013, Jeff sold his marketing agency and transitioned to full-time real estate entrepreneurship.  Jeff loves to share lessons from his own path of entrepreneurship, real estate, personal finance and personal development. His hope is that these thoughts and reflections will help others who are on a similar journey of their own, and inspire discussion we can all learn and benefit from.
