Well, I met with the insurance adjuster to give him my statement for the House 8 arson. He taped the interview portion and asked me questions like when did I find out about the fire, what was the purchase price of the property, how much have we spent in repairs (couldn’t answer that one, since [...]
Not many people know this about me…. I really wanted to be in Religious Antiquities, an archaeologist/anthropologist, when I entered college. In fact, I was scheduled to go to Yemen for a dig with a team chosen by our anthropology professor (he was featured on Nova for his ability to find ancient lost [...]

Good things come to those who wait? No, I don’t agree. But, nevertheless, maybe I’m scoring points with Karma for finding patience. Here’s why I think so (and all of this is before lunch):
1.) Michael was able to fix the gun in his paint sprayer without having to spend [...]
Well, House 8 has had quite a life to date. We heard recently from an old-timer that it was this city’s first strip club and whorehouse, and was eventually shut down because a church was established too nearby. And, now, after being lovingly remodeled by Contractor 1’s crew, it has been burned by an arson. [...]
Michael’s received a letter that says he’s required to appear for jury selection. There are two problems if he’s selected for jury duty. Our business has already purchased the tickets for Hawaii–and, they’re non-refundable. Also, if he’s tied up with jury duty, that means I’ll have to handle everything in our business–all that I already [...]
I haven’t had time today to call any lenders about the House 14 financing, because the refi for House 11 has taken all my free time. In fact, I’ll have to keep this post short.
The lender for the House 11 refi called today to tell me the underwriter was having a problem with our loan. [...]
I have been stressed about looking for financing, mainly because I think I’ve possibly gone overboard with my house-purchasing habit as of late and will be rejected by every lender in town. I have plans for the funds we receive from the House 11 refi–holding costs while houses are rehabbed, the costs of the rehab [...]
I know I said I would take a break from house-hunting. And, really, I’ve backed off quite a bit. But, I couldn’t help myself. I just couldn’t!
I’ve passed on a couple of houses that crossed my path in the last few weeks that I thought were interesting. But, House 14 caught my eye and wouldn’t [...]
Well, the last house we had pending, House 10, closed today! It was a HUD house. So, naturally, it was like pulling a molar (sans drugs) to purchase the thing. I thought our lender was going to have a coronary. She had multiple conniptions while on the phone with me over the way HUD was [...]
