In my mind, every time you get to add a zero to your paydays, it’s a real milestone. I deposited a check for $112,019.32 today! The four-house refi I’ve been working on since the beginning of January finally happened! I am even more elated than I was the day our insurance finally cut us a [...]
Michael and I have been hard at work on House 14 since Saturday. Well, admittedly, we hardly worked Saturday. But, we’ve been working hard since Sunday morning. My body aches! I thought I was in good shape. But, eight-plus hours of squatting and kneeling, working the miter saw and nailing up all the trim has [...]
I’ve been taking advantage of this slow period by catching up on some important reading. One of the books I just devoured is titled, “No B.S. Wealth Attraction for Entrepreneurs: The Ultimate No Holds Barred Kick Butt Take No Prisoners Guide to Really Getting Rich”, by Dan Kennedy. Many of you may already be familiar [...]
I enjoyed a nice relaxing, rainy weekend. I didn’t do much at all, besides continue with the books I’ve been reading. I’m preparing myself for the tough times that lie ahead when Michael and I have to work on House 14 ourselves. There’s so much to be done, the job will take us a few [...]
I have been running around like a chicken with her head cut off the last two days. I got a call first thing yesterday morning that our closing for House (uh, what is it now) 15 was scheduled for this morning at 10 am! Unfortunately, this was news to our lender! She didn’t have anything [...]
Has anybody heard of a “series LLC”? From what I gather, it sounds like you can have an LLC for each property you own, with another as the “umbrella” LLC over them all. That would be ideal for our business, I would think!
Our attorney never did get off his rump and help us reorganize our [...]
You have no idea how much I will hate to do it, but we’re going to have to fire Contractor 2. He’s been working on House 14 since the beginning of January and has spent $28K including this week’s labor. Yet, STILL, there are no plumbing fixtures, no cabinets or countertops, no carpet or vinyl, [...]
I’ve discovered a really funny blogger. She has nothing to do with real estate. Check it out anyway. I laughed so hard, no sound came out–just the silent, super-rapid belly giggles with verticle shoulder action. Whew, I needed that….

*Sigh*
Our refi I’ve been working on has fallen through. The underwriter refused us because of a derogatory item on Michael’s credit file from 10 years ago!!! It’ll even fall off his credit history in just two months. And, I would be willing to bet his score is higher than the underwriter’s! Unbelievable!
So, it’s back to [...]
I’ve been pretty frustrated with our attorney lately. He and his office were supposed to be working on three items for me. Since late December, I’ve been asking for an Independent Contractor’s Agreement (in case someone gets hurt on one of our jobs without worker’s comp insurance), two additional LLC’s (to diversify and further protect [...]
