Investing Adventures: Tenants Are People
http://investingadventures.blogspot.com/2009/07/tenants-are-people_25.html
Saturday, July 25, 2009. Now the proud owners of our first revenue property, we were ready to begin life as landlords. Our decision to manage the property ourselves was based, in part, on our desire to gain experience in property management. How hard could it be? I wondered what I would want from my landlord? I would hope for understanding, patience, leniency, and caring. I would hope my landlord would care about my problems, and help me to solve them. I would hope that my landlord would not make...I dec...

Investing Adventures: Time Management - Cutting Out Waste
http://investingadventures.blogspot.com/2008/06/time-management-cutting-out-waste.html
Tuesday, June 3, 2008. Time Management - Cutting Out Waste. Though often a challenge, time management is crucial to maintain efficiency and professionalism. Managing your time means being on time, making deadlines, and getting rid of wasteful projects and tasks. A pretty good clue that the task at hand is wasteful may be that …. 1 the task is done 2 or more times daily when once should suffice. 3 no one benefits. Who is it helping? If the answer is no one, you may be wasting your time. These are just a f...

Investing Adventures: Best Laid Plans
http://investingadventures.blogspot.com/2009/07/it-was-perfect.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2009. It was perfect. Before we even bought our first duplex, the plan was solid – buy, subdivide, sell off each side separately, pay off subdivision debt with proceeds, and walk away with enough to invest in the next one. And it would all happen in 3-6 months, worst case scenario was a year. I once believed ‘planning’ to be synonymous with ‘dictating the future’. Plans equal control, right?

Investing Adventures: Equity
http://investingadventures.blogspot.com/2010/08/equity.html
Tuesday, August 10, 2010. I was chatting a bit with a friend about the joys of property management - repairs, late rents, vacancy, etc. Some call it sweat equity, but he called it swear equity. Yes. Yes it is. Just thought I'd share that with you. It makes me smile as I scrub crud off the walls of vacant suites. Swear equity. :). Posted by From The Heart Online.

Investing Adventures: Back to the Drawing Board
http://investingadventures.blogspot.com/2008/07/back-to-drawing-board.html
Saturday, July 26, 2008. Back to the Drawing Board. The first 5-plex I offer on, I run the deal by an experienced investor friend of mine whose first reply is “oooh, I don’t think you want to do that.” He fired questions at the deal I hadn’t even contemplated and informed me that the neighborhood would likely yield gang members for tenants. “That’s just part of due diligence” he said.
