I'm originally from Illinois, and lived in Atlanta for 8yrs (traveling down to FL every weekend) and have traveled all over Fl for the past 15 yrs before finally settling just outside of Ft Lauderdale 7yrs ago.

Finally decided to take the plunge and sign on to the forum to see how much I can learn from and contribute to all you folks!

so - finally HOA attorney has promised to issue discharge papers on Monday.

As new investors, we ran the numbers 100 times, and finally felt comfortable with them.

I remember those moments up until passing felt great to finally have it done.  

I specifically said I did not want any penalties due to not submitting taxes on time.I have been following up with the accountant since then, and finally today he emailed me he did not get a chance to even run the numbers, that he was too busy with personal matters and that he will run the numbers within the next week, and that if we do owe anything, we will have to pay penalties.Apart from the fact that I am completely dissatisfied with his inability to deliver, I wonder if this has happened to any of you?

I finally came to terms that real estate will be my future.

This is has been horrible story for us...This horrible tenant had finally moved out, found out later from the neighbor he is under warrant arrest by the police the last 2 weeks before he is moved.

Congrats on finally making the post and no more lurking =).

The large tenant (former owner) has moved out (expected as the lease expired and they wanted smaller space) We got our drawings done, and again after WAY too much time working with the city we finally got our plans for renovations approved.
