Hello all, this is how i spend my days(Phase 1 get my mind right)- Pray- Meditate - Exercise & go Jogging - Take a warm shower (while listening to relaxing music)- Eat a good breakfast(Phase 2 take care of business)- Check and respond to both my email and voicemail messages- Check to-do list, and complete any items due that day- Scan through that days top real estate news articles- Do a little networking through various real estate groups & forums (mainly for: education, finding deals, and building my connections) - Do at least one thing that day that normally makes me feel uneasy (I work on conquering my fears by doing them) (Phase 3 relax)- after all this, I put anything new on my to-do list to complete for the next day, then I either read a book, hang out with friends, watch a movie, or play video games.

Add it as an addendum or as extra items.

I personally advocate blogging if you have the time to commit because it invites consumers into a conversation with you and acts as an immediate trust agent.There are many great ways to start blogging (there's even a blog button up top of this page you could use to get started on one) and the advantages are many.

You can estimate expenses using criteria you learn around this site - just remember that in bigger bldgs major components - boilers, elevators..are costly items.

If so, it might be a good property for a condo conversion if it has adequate parking.

This one isn't actually a conversion but it's interesting.

This way, I do not rely on the cash flow alone to support these items when they occur.

I'm glad that Richard welcomed you already . . . he's a real estate superstar and he's right in your backyard.Let us know if we can help you in any way in particular . . . if not, I hope that you get involved in the conversation.

We had a similiar experience with a property management firm who gave back monies & then when we went into the houses, we saw what a quick and cursory look through they did--we found numerous items that required cleaning, repairs, etc --we took over the management and -even if it is a snapped off doorstop-the tenants are charged.

Once I get enough cash from that move into condo conversions and try to take my investment company public.
