I’m definitely not going to be done with House #2 by January 31st, but things are definitely zooming over there now. The plumbers finished up all the venting, supply lines, and drain work for the laundry room addition, and the electrician gave me the thumbs up on everything I roughed in over there, so once […]

1) As part of the contract, the buyer deposited $500 in earnest money with the title company.

Not much progress on the REI front in the fledgling new year so far. I’ve actually been pretty sick since around the 1st, which is a rarity for me, as I tend to only get a cold/flu every 5 years or so. I drug myself over to House #2 on the 31st/1st and got some […]

Plans for 2008?
January 2, 2008 | 3 Comments
I’ve waffled a bit on posting about my real estate plans for 2008, and it’s for a pretty simple reason: I do not know.
It’s easy to come out breathing fire in the fledgling new year, dedicating yourself anew to conquering the world, building empires, and making all that you see your own, but the reality is […]
