The Blue Memo – About Us

Lets Start Our Journey, One Key At A Time

Hi I’m Steve (aka Blue) and welcome to The Blue Memo.  This blog is a resource to help you achieve financial independence though real estate investing.  My blog is dedicated not only to providing you with knowledge you need to take control of your finances, but also to provide the tips and strategies to become a real estate investor and acquire real estate into your portfolio.

I started this blog because I believe there is a lack of financial literacy and how to leverage real estate to acquire long term wealth.  This became clear to me when discussing basic personal finance topics with colleagues.

During my time on Wall Street, I worked with some of the brightest people in the world.  They were solving complex financial problems or writing about complicated industry topics for their clients.  I was amazed at how smart these people were at their jobs.  They were able to digest industry news quickly and provide actionable insights within minutes.  However, when it came to how to build wealth, such as spending less than what you make, they all seemed to be severely misunderstood. 

Throughout the years speaking with my colleagues, I saw some general trends amongst them all.  They were high in student debt, paid too much for rent, had unpaid credit card bills, or had no plan to save for the future.  This was astonishing to hear.  How can some of the smartest people I have ever worked with, earning healthy six-figure salaries, not able to balance a monthly budget? 

I even reached out to my old friends from undergrad or high school.  And the situation was the same.  Friends are struggling to make ends meet, living pay-check to pay-check, with no plan on their financial future. 

Getting to financial independence is not easily.  It takes hard work, persistence, consistency, dedication, and building a system. 

And getting there through real estate investing is the key.

This blog will help provide accessible and relatable content that breaks how to acquire financial independence through real estate investing.   

I’ll teach you how to acquire real estate.  What you need to know, what to watch out for, and the tools to set yourself up for success.

If you’re new to real estate or have been investing in real estate for a while, this site is for you.

I’ve been investing in real estate for over a decade.  Over that time, my portfolio has grown from a single property, to real estate worth several million dollars now.  I truly believe anyone can become an investor in real estate, including you.

Join the community of people, like you, who are striving to leave their 9-5 job and are committed to gaining financial independence through real estate investing.
