So, my husband and I are Investors. We have a seven unit apartment complex and several single family residences as well.

Last week, we bought our first mobile home. Upon our first inspection, the home appears to be dirty but not disgusting. Today, after the previous owners had vacated the property, we went to assess the damage and start clean up. I'm fairly sure that the woman living there did not have a mop, toilet brush, broom or soap of any kind. There were at least 400 active colonies of roaches thriving on just the countertops alone. Nonetheless, we sucked it up, cleaned it out (at least 20 huge black contractor bags full) and bug bombed. (sad for the roaches, but I'm sure they lived a very full life) Tonight, we will return to remove the bugs and sanitize all of the surfaces. I will be painting the cabinets and walls and steam cleaning all of the carpets. This mobile home should be occupied by the middle of next week. Hooray!

This was actually one of the least disgusting places I have been in during the past few years of our experience in this industry. I'm sure that you would rather not read those horror stories as it is almost lunch time.....and I prefer not to relive them.

As always, thanks for reading and stay tuned for more updates as Joey and I venture deep into the wonderful world of mobile homes

"When someone is in your life for a REASON. . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong
doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

Then people come into your life for a SEASON. Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant."

THANK YOU for being in my life.

I am so grateful for my husband and best friend Joey. I don't want to think of what my life would be like without you.


Work like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been hurt, and
dance like no one is watching.

It is officially three after five and only half of my day's work is done. All I really want to do is make dinner and relax.......but I suppose that I don't have that kind of luxurious lifestyle yet. Yet, I say.

So, sometimes I wonder if I should stop worying so much about becoming a superstar and just be "comfortable". *shutters at the thought* Do the people that just work a 9-5, come home, cook and clean have moe rewarding and fulfilling lives than those of a real estate investor. There is less risk of uncertainty about next month's bills when you work for "The Man". Although, not much less these days.

I am very suddenly bothered by the amount of stress that my life has taken on. Perhaps it is all of the pregnancy hormones.....I dunno. Kaiti (4) is now home from daycare due to financial stress. (ugh, more stress) I am happy to have her here with me but am secretly longing for the quiet days of the past.

In any case, even though I dream of greener pastures......I have to remind myself that I love what I do and I do what I love. That helps me get through the tough days.

In other news, I am getting my RE license in April!!! woo hoo!! finally!

Hellooooo January! I love starting off a fresh new year, with fresh new goals, ideas and fresh new.....um, problems.

Joey and I have finally figured out our niche. We are attacking our ambitions full force and loving every minute of it. For those of you who do not know us, we are tackling the matchmaking business.

I am not a dating service.......however, we are matching up some great investors with some even greater tenant buyers. How fabulous!

We are offering our services in the entire tri-county area. I will hint to you, our buyers list grows by double digits daily. If you need to get your property rented or would like a lease option tenant; contact me!

We pre-screen and contact the applicants for you!

My husband and I are investors, busy ones at that. I was concerned as to how I would be able to work with just one new baby in the house and a 4 yr old.

This has all changed......

Friday, my sister-n-law and her 2 children (plus one due in April) moved into our home. What a crazy mess! I love them, don't get me wrong, but I am a neurotic neat freak and must have my house in tip top shape at all times. Now, I understand that I may need to bite my tongue for a while......a while, I said. The problem is that the children (10months and 2 yrs) are sometimes being left unsupervised. It irritates me because I am picking up the slack while trying to get my work done. It doesn't seem fair to me and my daughter is well behaved........though she is learning some interesting new habits.

I'm at my wits end already and it has only been 3 days............

I would like to run away.......

Help!
