Still nothing from the surveyor. They sure like to overpromise and underdeliver. I forgot to mention in a previous post that I calculated the true cashflow combined for both of our properties and it is $102-. That is not too bad when I realize that we are almost living for free. The bad part is…

Once again I didn’t stick to my routine. The routine seems to fall apart on Wednesday morning. I go hike with a friend at 5:00AM. I normally start my home morning routine at that time and it includes some stretching, reading, blog writing, and daily planning. Then I’ll start work at 7:00AM. When I go…

No news from the surveyor, of course. I didn’t hear anything from Jim yesterday. Not a whole lot of progress has been made in any regard. It’s just a waiting game. I did conduct more property analyses yesterday. They are definitely useful when it comes to familiarizing oneself with a market.

We submitted the verification of employment to Jim so he could send it to the lender. He expects a CTC (something “to close” I forgot at the moment) sometime next week. We’ll see. I have been spending quite a bit of time running property analyses using the Biggerpockets calculators. It is quite educational. I am…

The surveyor finally billed me for the remainder of their fee and the fee for the county for recording! Hopefully, the Record of Survey will be recorded this week. In the email informing me of the status the front-office person asked me if I decided to move forward with the topographical survey; It felt nice…

I have slacked on the posts this week. If something screws up my morning routine, I have a hard time getting back on track. I need to work on that. Jim called me on Thursday saying the “junior underwriter” from the lender is having trouble reconciling my wife’s employment and her respective salary. She has…

I am getting tired of not being updated by the surveyor. I emailed them this morning asking for an update following-up on an email I sent nine days ago. The project cost keeps rising because of delays. I have been watching many Biggerpockets videos since I bought the Pro membership. Oh yeah, I subscribed to…

Yesterday, my son and I met the architect and her husband at our duplex. She wanted to be able to get some work completed while she waits for the topo survey so she made measurements of the exterior of the building herself. This way she can get a first draft finished while waiting for the…

Once again I lose focus and fail to write any posts. It’s mainly because I don’t get my morning routine started when I should and then everything goes out of whack for the remainder of the day. Here I am at 5:45AM at my desk where I should be. An interesting thing happened since I…

I sent quote requests to five surveyors for a topo survey, including the one who did the property line survey. I really wish I hadn’t screwed that up. Lyla, the architect, is going to visit the property in the next couple of weeks to do her own measurements so she can continue working while we…
