Wednesday, January 4
The HELOC closed! Jim told me we started the process in August. Nothing has been happening in regard the duplex. We are waiting on the topo survey to be finalized. We have access to funds which lets me breathe again. I might email the surveyor tomorrow. I have been trying to get up at 4:00AM…

We signed the loan docs yesterday! Our existing HELOC will be paid off and we asked for a $10,000 initial draw which will be wired. This should happen on January 4. I have uploaded another video to my channel. This video is a drive through Thomas Mountain near Anza, CA. Currently, the idea is to…

Because I wrote an entry last night, there is nothing to write about this morning. We will be signing loan documents at 1:30PM today. We are waiting for movement on the topo survey in regard to comments made internally. Do topo surveys get recorded? I still need to get closet doors for the newest tenant.…

Not a lot on which to report. Jim, I love him, has been a little frustrated with the HELOC lender. He keeps asking me for items or postpones the signing. Currently, we are scheduled for tomorrow at 1:30PM. When I slack in the morning, as I did today, the entire schedule gets thrown off and…

Today is closing day but I’m not sure at what time. For some reason the notary contacted my wife instead of me. There isn’t a lot going on at the moment so there isn’t much to write. I’m going to edit some videos this morning which is kind of fun once I understand the different…

Being Christmastime, there has been much movement anywhere so there isn’t much to write. We are going to close on the HELOC tomorrow. The landscaper is taking his time with updating the duplex. I’m going to pay him some money before year-end to at least get some tax breaks. I haven’t edited any more videos…

Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays! Yesterday the topo surveyor emailed me the first draft! He said that it goes through internal review first and that he expects to receive comments. Progress! I don’t think I mentioned it, but I have to buy sliding doors to cover the water heater and pantry closet. The water…

We are cleared to close! We are closing on the HELOC this Friday. It will have a $285,000 limit. Our existing HELOC will be paid off, along with a couple other debts, and we’ll get a $10,000 advance. I haven’t heard anything from the topo surveyors regarding Monday’s appointment. Hopefully, everything went well. The tenant…

We have the topography survey scheduled for Monday! I know I’m a little excited but it’s nice to see progress. I haven’t seen the ROS recorded yet, but the topo survey will begin anyways. They are going to use the first draft of the survey with the notes from the county on it. I did…

No action since yesterday so there’s not much to write. We are waiting on the clear to close for the HELOC. Having access to those funds will allow me to breathe. We have some big checks to write soon. One for the topo, the structural engineer, the remainder of Lyla’s contract, and the ROS and…
