Winning the Rat Race

I am trying to start a new habit of finishing my reading for the day and writing a blog post first thing in the morning. Two days down. I read more “Commercial…” and “Confessions…” today. I have started chapter 3 in “Commerical…”, the title of which is Central Place Theory and the System of Cities.…

I have not written in a week because my wife and I attended Overland Expo in Colorado. It’s an outdoor convention for a specific type of camper called an overlander. It was fun. I have been trying to get the process going with loan. I have been provided a link which is supposed to display…

I’ve made it a point to read at least four pages per day of “Commercial Real Estate Analysis and Investment”. It’s a big text book. I figure knowledge is power and reading this book will give me knowlege.

I got all the information to Jim this morning. He then asked me for some clarification on when we moved to our current residence. He asked if we put money into the unit we moved out of but we didn’t. The next-door tenants moved to our unit and we remodeled their disgusting unit. I can’t…

I’ve been slacking on doing much of anything. The motivation decreases while I wait for things to happen with the loan process. Today I answered some questions for Jim such as my wife’s title and work start date, date we moved to our current residence, how much credit would we like (as much as we…

I started reading “Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur: What It Takes To Win In High-Stakes Commercial Real Estate” by James A. Randel. I’m pretty sure our end-goal is to buy large commercial real estate. Thus far the book is going over basics such as financing, deeds, contracts, etc.

I finished BRRRR and it was a great listen. I think it’s a doable strategy once we get financing in order. All the paperwork has been submitted to the loan officer. Our credit scores dipped a bit due to inquiries. He was worried about that because it will affect the interest rate on the loan.…

A little backstory…I bought a nice box of Liga Privada No. 9 and inadvertently sent them to the guinea pigs tenant’s address. We used to live there which is why that address was a choice on the website. I was going to serve the notice-to-vacate yesterday but then thought better of it. I didn’t want…

I finished gathering all the documents, statements, etc requested by Jim and added them to the Dropbox. My wife is going to submit her documents either tomorrow or Tuesday depending on when she goes to the office. My wife and I decided that we are going to serve our guinea pig tenants with a 60-day…

I didn’t do much today other than start gathering documents for Jim, my main loan officer.
