Too Early to Be Up

6:28 A.M. For most people that's nothing. Your getting up or on your way to work. But for me, it's wayyyy to early. That's what happened to me this morning. I get a phone call from the alarm company about a break-in on my rehab property.

I'm thinking to myself - the idiots already broke in once (before I bought the place) are they that stupid to think I would put more expensive items in the house for them to take? I guess they are.

Oh well sucks for them! There wasn't anything to take. And the good part/shocking part - the Detroit Police showed up!! In less than an hour - WOW! I must admit I am impressed with that.

Now I am in the process of getting bidds for landscapers. I have so many to go through - I just don't feel like it. But it's all part of the business.

Today's agenda:

Landscapers, call the workers and let them know about the breakin, be thankful that there was nothing to steal, and take a nap.

It's All About Marketing!!

Today I have to call the alarm company to get an alarm put on the house. I guess I can add that into the purchase price of the house. I spoke with the contractor today. They have started prep work so they should be painting this week.

My goals for this week are to put an ad in the newspaper and on some Internet sites. Advertise,advertise, advertise! That's the only way I will be able to sell my place. People need to know its available and the all the wonderful things they will be getting with it.

My other goal is to make a brag book of this property. This will look good to out of town investors I plan to target in on my next investment. There so many investments out there - and I can't wait to get them!

Contractors and Offers!

So I spoke with my contractor yesterday. The electrian and plumber will be in this week. I'm hoping that once those two are finished, they can start the other parts of the rehab. Hopefully!

I got an offer on the house over the weekend. Apparently, people like the sign Iput out (Buy this house and live free for six months!). The next steps for them is to send me a copy of their pre-approval letter and keep them posted on the progress of the house. Cause I'm ready for them to move in.

Till next time.....
