So we are back from Summer vacation. Did you miss us?
It is true what they say “Even a lumberjack needs to stop chopping trees from time to time to sharpen the axe”. For the past 3 months we have been taking some time to sharpen the axe and get charged up for some exciting real estate deals. Even though we were away, we have still been doing deals and our well oiled machine has been pumping them out. Tomorrow we expect to get 2 more deals under contract this month and it is a great way to start off the last quarter of the year.
Don and I have been at this business full time for 5 years, yet up until 3 months ago we did not act like we were self employed. We have been working hard to grow our businesses and meet our goals and have 3 successful businesses as a result. The reason that you have not heard from us lately is that we decided to take some time off and enjoy the summer. How can we afford to do this? It’s simple we have people in our business that replaced us to handle the day to day operations. Buyers agents to continue to buy properties for us, contractors to work on the houses, attorneys to handle all the legal work. We had everything in place but someone to enter these blog posts. I do that personally so I was not yet ready to be replaced and that’s why you have not heard from us in a few months.
It was a great summer and Don did some traveling and it seems like he did not take a vacation for the past 5 years and made up for it this summer by going to a place or two each month. I spent my time with my family at the beach and on my boat fishing. We wrapped up the summer with a Bruce Springsteen concert. What a way to wrap up a great summer. Now that summer is over and we have enjoyed some time off, we are back to continue to share with all of you tips and techniques to improve your real estate investing business. You will see more frequent updates from us plus some changes to this blog in the next 30 days.
Before I complete this post I want you to know that if you want to take next summer off, set that as a goal right now. It is 9 months away and that will give you plenty of time to get your business rocking and rolling so you too can afford the better parts of life.
Bye for now but keep on the lookout for updates and great investing info that is coming soon
