I spoke to a local wholesaler today who has 2 deals under contract and we agreed to do some joint venture deals together. And we agreed to a simple 50/50 split of each others deals.

So I’m psyched to help him get his places sold and I have a couple of investors in mind that I think may be seriously interested. Fingers crossed.

Ok everyone…have an awesome day and always remember what you’re thankful for!

Anyway, my neighbor hooked me up last nite (and he had technical difficulties too lol but ended up just scanning it for me and putting it on a zip drive for me to take home.) Kathy and I moved one of our worst performing ATM’S (in the month of October the store was probably open for maybe a week?? IF that.) So we moved it to a 24/7 diner and we’re excited about that. We have one other ATM that we need to place somewhere right now.

What else what else? Oh I think Kathy is going to be getting another J-O-B…..since she got laid off she’s had recruiters and other pharmaceutical companies calling her like crazy and even offering her more money. So we talked about it and I told her if she wants to do it and feels more comfortable doing the J-O-B thing with a guaranteed income instead of doing our plan for both being self-employed then I’m all for it, I just ask that she sticks to her budget so she gets out of debt quicker (like we BOTH planned) and therefore can invest in more ATM’s and real estate (we want to buy multi’s together as kind of our retirement and of course as to increase our passive income.) She agreed to stick to the budget.

Oh and believe me when I say how we talked and we agreed or what have you, when we’re talking about a budget and planning money the conversation does not go so smoothly. Kathy is a spender, that’s how she’s lived for a longggg time, that’s how she knows and that’s how I’m sure she’d like to keep doing, but after some tiffs she’s seeing the “light” so to speak but sometimes I have to give her a lil nudge (like yesterday afternoon she wanted to stop somewhere and get something to eat. I reminded her that eating out is not in our budget anymore and we argued for a hot minute, didn’t speak and came home and had lunch and then made an amazing dinner.) I’m sure the only thing about me that she wishes was like her ex-husband has to do with money………all they did was spend, spend, spend…without a care in the world. I’m quite sure tho that she’ll thank me at some point in the future

I emailed a wholesaler to make sure she was cool with paying each other if we marketed each others deals and sold it, etc. And she was….we just have to still work on the split end of things….she was like “it depends.” I’m more of a “let’s quit the bullshit and say it’s a 50/50 split or whatever.” Know what I mean?

I also emailed another investor/realtor/wholesaler that I know and proposed the 50/50 split for selling each others deals and he said “yes, I’m interested in that arrangement.” He even sent me a form that he uses for his joint venture deals.

I got more bandit signs in finally. Ordered 200- 100 horizontal fluting and 100 vertical fluting with of course 100 H-wire stakes. I’m gonna start putting these bad boys out today. These are the smaller sized ones, so I’ll see how they go. I think they will stay up longer on the poles being this size.

Okey dokey pokeys I’m off to look at houses (for sale,) houses that sold (for cash,) and then back home to make some offers. I’m feeling really good about everything. Oh yeah….I even sold a Rainbow Wednesday nite so will probably make an easy $500 to $700 off of that (remember that’s what I been doing for the past year when I took a hiatus from real estate.)

I’m going to be posting soon a few couple goals/lists that I think are extremely helpful and I’m going to share mine with everyone here in hopes that you do your own at home (you don’t need to post them here, you can keep them private.) But I think they are beneficial.
