Have you closed on House #1? 2. If not, will you post some before and after photos. I'm closing on my first reno (not flip) at the end of this month. I've enjoyed reading your insightful blog. I thot about starting my own reno blog, but I'm not an information junkie. It would start well, then sit untouched for months. My goals are a profit of $5,000 and have a sign in the yard by May 1. We'll see. I've crunched the margin-of-profit numbers until I can almost quote the 8 sheet spreadsheet I made. Scary, yet adventuresome. It feel like just before I proposed to my fiance' (now wife of 8 years). I feel like I could almost pass out, but I really want this house (and my spousal relationship) to work! Oh, the drama! Have a Happy New Year with your investment ventures! And like my best friend from college said, "Remember Bill, it's only money!" :) Congrats on starting a New Year with an optomistic outlook!

Today was the first business day of the new year. Today I bought $3,500.00 worth of merchandise to sell on ebay. My inventory will be gone by the end of the month. By then, I will have already purchased another shipment for sales in February. By March, I will be planning Christmas. Is this some wishful sense of grandeur? No. This is my fifth such order within two months. I have only just begun to hit my stride. It's actually quite easy once you learn to play the game. The point is this: Set your goals, learn what you need to learn, then get off your ass and do it. “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 often far from that.”
