House 8 Is Now Late
I just took the time to catch up on the running tab I’m keeping of expenses for the House 8 project. And, I was smacked in the face to discover we’re 17 days behind now! Why is this, you rightly ask…. I have one word for you…. PLUMBING. The freaking plumber disappears for weeks at [...]
The Natives Are Restless
I am now known as the property manager (aka, target-practice) at Quadplex 1.
The female tenant we have in the one leased unit of Quadplex 1 comes out to give me input anytime she sees me there. At first, it was cute. Actually, she was helpful–sort of. She was always friendly, but wanted to let me [...]
On The Road Again
Today, I’m showing the Quadplex 1 units to a prospective tenant. I did a good thing by attaching one of those “Take One Tubes” to the top of the For Rent sign. Otherwise, I’d probably be getting tons of calls from unqualified renters. But, I’m only getting a few calls from people who haven’t stopped [...]

The broker is a really impressive business woman and is the best property manager I’ve come across to date. She’s amazing and innovative in her pursuits to get tenants to pay in full on-time. [...]

Three-hab
I managed three rehab/updating projects today simultaneously. I arranged for the central heat and A/C installation today in one of our houses. It was tricky, since the PM didn’t have the correct phone number for the tenant and had no clue how to contact him!!! I finally just told the installer to go knock on [...]
Woo-hoo! Quadplex 1 Closed!
Well, we are the proud owners of our first multi-family property–Quadplex 1!
There’s so much to do! I want to replace all the interior doors on the three empty units, plus the exterior doors on every unit. Many of the interior doors have holes and dents in them. They weren’t very sturdy to begin with–they were [...]
