*The deal that was supposed to close last Monday, then Wednesday, then today, is closed. Well, for the most part, anyway. Everything has been signed by me and the buyers, but as of 4:30 pm (that's when I went in to sign), the wire from their hml was still not there. It should be there in the morning, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it wasn't. I have a backup buyer waiting in the wings if it doesn't fund, but hopefully it won't come to that.
*I'm on a mission to get another deal under contract by the end of the month so I can reach a financial goal I set for myself at the beginning of the year. I am close, but not there yet.
*Jim ate my favorite pair of shoes while I was out looking at houses today. I usually take him w me, but I had to stop at the grocery store on the way back, and it is getting too hot to leave him in the car, especially since I can only leave the windows halfway down because he will jump out and run after me if I leave them all the way down. I need a Dog Whisperer.
*My back is finally better after 3 months of being screwed up, so I went back to running yesterday and can barely walk today. Painful, but in a good way. Also, they just opened this gym right behind where I live called the Sweat Shop, and they have this 10 week kickboxing course that starts at the end of this month that I'm going to enroll in. There are 60 classes -6 days a week for 10 weeks. I can't wait.
*I received my 20th email today (no exaggeration) about a new ebook that has just been launched, and so I decided to take a half hour out of my day to unsubscribe to most of the email lists that I subscribed to a year or so ago. Seems that most of the people that used to sell deals are now selling courses or mentorship programs, etc. Not that I have anything against selling stuff, but it just gets kind of irritating after awhile, especially if you are not in the market for a new real estate course, and especially when you get 20 emails over the course of 3 days that all say the same thing. Enough already.
And that's all she wrote.
10-4, over and out.

Hey Steph,
Long time, I haven't commented on your blog. I hear ya regarding the daily buttload of spam from real estate gurus selling their wares. I may unsubscribe to the lists myself. Congrats on your closing, and I know you can reach your goal.
Your posts are always motivating to me. You are the picture of persistence and determination. I have stumbled hard in this business, and had to suspend my VIP membership as you know. I really REALLY did not want to quit, I absolutely love being part of such a unique group. But I think I have a second wind coming, some mental changes, and I am hoping (and planning) for a better second half of 2008.
It has been TOUGH for me. But you are always here blogging away, telling us your stories. Thank you so much for keeping this up.
And if you need more shoes chewed up, I can FedEx my dog "Pepper" your way. He will surely chew everything else in your apartment. ;)
Hey Tim,
I did not know about the VIP group... I am sorry to hear that, and sorry to hear that you are going through rough times.
Please, whatever you do, do not give up. Maybe you will have to change your course of action a bit, but you have to persist. You've already come further than most, and I know you can get to where you want to be if you keep at it. It is just going to take some time.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I'm always around if you need someone to talk to, or bounce ideas off of.
Sounds like a wild one Steph! good luck getting your deal done before the end of the month! I finally got one of my auction properties sold after 2 tries and it is nice to breathe easy again.
When's the trip to Costa Rica? Pura vida calls...
Cheers,
Taylor
Hi Taylor- congrats on getting that deal closed!
Looks like the big trip to CR is going to be in mid October. I can't wait!
