I know my numbers keep changing with each blog post title. You may have noticed…. I was only planning to sell 11 houses, but then got the opportunity to sell House 1 rather unexpectedly. The “buyer” for House 1 and I finally reached an acceptable sales price today! So, I met him at House 1 [...]
Woo-hoo! We’re under contract for nine of our houses now (thank you, Mr Buyer #1 and Mr Buyer #2–you know who you are)! I won’t reveal the details of our deals, though, out of respect for the privacy of our buyers. So, don’t ask!
My job at this point is to assist our buyers with [...]
After much consideration, I’ve decided to get my real estate license! Seattle Eric was partly my inspiration. I also look forward to creating a new stream of income for our household. I avoided going the license route until now because I didn’t want my focus to head in the wrong direction. I didn’t want to [...]
Much to my dismay, we discovered a problem in one of the houses that was recently put under contract. When we toured all our houses with our out-of-state visitor last Friday, we found that the tenants in one house were living without electricity! When I contacted our property manager, she told me she was already [...]

And, here [...]
I read a really cool article recently in Urban Tulsa, a local newspaper. It was about all the cool developments happening here. It also said Tulsa is the 11th hottest city in the U.S., tied with Tucson, AZ, according to Expansion Management Magazine!
I’m sure most of you didn’t know, but Tulsa’s first arena [...]
Most of the potential buyers I’ve spoken to have been absolutely wonderful! But, a few of them have been…, well, otherwise. What’s with the people who think it’s productive to beat up on the seller?
As you know, we’re selling our rental houses to come up with a downpayment for a retail strip I [...]
Here’s something you probably didn’t know…. Undercooked oatmeal can make you sick enough to wonder if you should be headed to the hospital. Saturday night, we came home from Michael’s son’s “Going Off to College” pizza party. I’m not a huge fan of pizza, so I was still a little hungry. [...]
