We close out another day...

Wow, I got to see a unique house today, thank you Jason. It is definitely a diamond in the rough. The videos are up on YouTube under the name Larchmont. Unfortunately, we're having a slight problem with the server and so I am unable to get the videos up on www.WealthAddress.com right this minute, but we should have them up tomorrow. But anyway, you gotta see this house. The video doesn't do it justice, you had to be there...you had to see and smell this house to fully appreciate it! It's hard to believe that after some TLC and about $50K, this house could very well pull in close to $300,000. That's pretty good considering it was purchased for somewhere around $130K. This house is a beast though, it's big and sprawling and the floor plan makes less than no sense and it just goes on and on. It has this mother-in-law suite that was started but not quite completed. It's an interesting house to say the least, but I'm starting to be able to see the potential in such homes. It will probably take many years to fine tune such a feeling, but I think I have a rudimentary base set of feelings and elementary understanding of some of the features that make a house (if priced well) a good investment. Thank you Mitch for letting me spend some time learning from Jason, he's a great guy and always willing to help. You can tell he's not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty if necessary. I'm quite fortunate to get to meet so many nice people, it's a relief to meet so many genuinely happy people. In my former life on the Corporate America scene, sadly, happy people were a rare commodity...including myself among the not so happy. I'm a little bummed now to be honest with you, just been a bad couple of weeks for me. I've been sick for two straight weeks now (and not getting much better), my computer is back, but it's only a shell of what it once was and continues to be a source of great frustration and endless irritation (I'm not a very patient man). I also miss my wife and son terribly, they've been gone since Sunday and this officially marks the longest amount of time I've ever been away from either of them...not a record I look forward to breaking anytime soon. My hats off to the brave men and women in our armed forces that do this sort of separation on a regular basis for many years at a time. It must be quite hard, nearly unbearable for them, they are all heroes in my eyes, for a plethora of reasons, but family sacrifice is probably chief among them. We should all thank them for safeguarding our way of life and making it possible for us to enjoy the freedoms we have and we should certainly not take them nor our freedoms for granted. Anyway, just been a rough couple of weeks, but I feel like good things are on the horizon...we'll see how that power of positive thinking thing works out (I'm trying hard), keep your fingers crossed. I hope you have a great night sleep, we'll be back at it in the morning, until then rest well and pleasant dreams to you all...back to www.WealthAddress.Com.
