Ok, so, I rented that same upstairs unit in Quadplex 1 again–finally! The reason you haven’t heard from me is that I had about two showings a day every day since the last time I wrote! It seems like all I’ve been doing is running back and forth to Quadplex 1 to show the empty [...]

Well, I just finished my last post when I got a call from a friend of the tenant that’s about to move into the one empty downstairs unit at Quadplex 1. He and his wife want the empty upstairs apartment! They’ve never seen it before, but they’ve heard great things from the other tenant and [...]

Do you ever have one of those days where you just want to say, “screw it” and play PC games all day? Yep, that’s me.
Yesterday, I drove to Quadplex 1–not once, but three times!
I recently had to reject (sort of–keep reading) a tenant based on their credit problems. The pair warned me when they filled [...]

Starsky is an interesting guy I’ve seen around, commenting on other people’s blogs now and then. He had a good question over there on Steve’s blog today.
I’d like to answer him, although I can’t guarantee my answers will satisfy anybody out there.
I took his whole paragraph, so I don’t take anything out of context here. [...]

Well, our tenant for the one empty downstairs unit on Quadplex 1 backed out due to health reasons. But, I made it clear when she reserved the apartment that her $100 was non-refundable if she didn’t move in. So, we made $100!
Meanwhile, I would’ve been a little anxious to get the “for rent” sign back [...]

Ok, meme-ing must die. But, I will indulge in one last writing exercise for Clifford.
He would like to know five reasons why I keep up with this blogging thing. Here we go!
1.) I could be slightly narcissistic. I seem to get some kind of sick little thrill from seeing my words on the screen. [...]

Check out the apartments I wrote about over on the right side of my blog! I think 20% down would be ideal to be able to enjoy the cashflow with interest rates as high as they are. But, email me if you’re interested!
Update: Shaun kindly let me know that people who monitor this blog with [...]

I’ve been keeping an eye out for properties investors might like and noticed something interesting has just come on the market today. It’s a duplex priced at $130,000 with an income in place of $1426/month (one side is 3 beds/2 baths/1 car garage rented at $756 until 10/2007–the other side is 2 beds/1 bath/1 car [...]

Well, I neglected to realize the significance of the guttering that was removed during the re-roofing and vinyl siding process on House 8. And, now, House 8 has about 1/4″ of standing water in places in the interior!!!
The rarely-seen plumber for House 8 (I was beginning to think he was a figment of my imagination) [...]

Clifford has tagged me. I think he lies awake at night thinking of ways to get me back for meme-ing him in the first place…well, that and foie gras.
Ok, so, inquiring minds would like to know what magazines I read on a regular basis.
Believe it or not, when I head for the magazine section of [...]
