Just bought my second property!

Closing happened this afternoon. Just finished re-keying the place and will be getting quotes on the rehab work shortly. Hope to have this one rented a little quicker than my first - bought in Dec and rented by June 1st. 

I have one more under contract, and will be closing on my 3rd on September 4th.

My goal on Jan 1st was to aim for 4 this year. It's taken a while to get to this point, but it looks like it may be possible to hit this goal before Dec.

These two require moderate rehabs. Some electrical. Kitchen/bathroom cleanup. Floor sanding/refinishing, painting, one or two windows and some wall/ceiling patches. Nothing major. Roofs are good. Mechanicals are new. 

Both my fiancé and I do work full time. I have a demanding job that keeps me working evenings and weekends and traveling around the country frequently. I also have two kids with my ex, so every other weekend is tied up. This makes it challenging. But also motivates me. 

My fiancé and business partner has a little more flexibility. She's a realtor. Her day today is mostly property management with some sales. But still not a lot of extra time. 

In regards to the goal - that's all it is. I'm pushing myself with a target. If it looks like that will slip, I'm okay with it if it means I do a quality job of the ones I have. I know I'll get there eventually, but I like to stretch myself with achievable but challenging goals.
