Do you know how to identify invasive Garlic Mustard?

It's popping up around Dane County and spreads quickly; identifying it is the first step in helping control it. Garlic Mustard grows earlier in spring than many native plants, blocks their sunlight, and outcompetes them for moisture and vital nutrients.

How to ID:
🍃Roots have a s-shaped bend and the stems have a purple color
🍃Plants produce four-petal white flowers and plants have a garlicky smell when crushes
🍃First-year plants are low-growing rosettes with rounded, kidney-shaped leaves

Helpful tips for removing:
🍃Try to pull up the plants before they set seed as yanking the plant from the ground will spread their seeds.
🍃Pull after it rains when it’s easier to get most of the tap root.
🍃First-year plants don't have as strong of a hold in the soil and can often be raked up when the ground is moist

Once removed, bag them up and throw them out with your garbage; do not compost.

"I did a positive real estate investing thing."

Remember all those posts I'd start with that a couple years ago?
[Usually -- "Hey, check out this new investment property I acquired!"]

Why the silence?

I stopped buying houses for almost TWO YEARS. Which seems like an eternity once you've gotten a taste for it.

After all, owning rental houses can make money at least four ways:
* Income (cash flow, profit)
* Appreciation (market, forced, found, and other types)
* Depreciation (a non-cash expense that reduces income taxes)
* Mortgage principal pay-down

I might have continued on my path to become an Acquisition Monster (hat tip to Tony Robbins for the phrase), but falling in love, starting a family, getting engaged, having a baby, becoming a father for the first time was enough to pull me away.

BUT NOW I'M BACK.

Taking my Face-Bragging to a whole new level . . . .

I did FIVE positive real estate things --- selling FIVE houses, four of them within 2 months last year.

On my Scoreboard, I'd say 3 were HUGE WINS, one mostly a wash, and the last house was a humbling, gut-wrenching, learning experience / adventure.

Triplex in Mauston -- HUGE WIN. Owned it about 14 months, provided transitional housing to 3 families, sold it to a business partner for $14,000 more than I paid for it, and it was profitable the whole time. Beautiful house. If I wanted to live in Mauston, I'd live there.

Milwaukee -- HUGE WIN. Owned it about 2.5 years, accepted an offer for $42,500 more than I paid to buy it. My first time working with Legacy Solar Co-op to put solar on a rental house. Only regret is I didn't get to keep my mortgage with Summit Credit Union for 4.25%. Summit is THE BEST.

Oshkosh - Buy low, sell high, right? Got if for $60,000 in 2020, accepted an offer for $120,000 in 2024. In the end, it needed some repairs that the buyer graciously offered to do, so I didn't quite double my money . . . but I'll take it! Nancy Harris huge gratitude for bringing me the house and managing it for more than 3 years.
