I was asked about my Vegas trip and I forgot to update you, very sorry about that! OK, so this is what I know about Vegas...make sure you take someone that you want to spend time there with, take a lot of money incase you find Caesars mall, get there early if you want to see the Treasure Island show, if you have to run from one end of the strip down to the other, it will take over 45 minutes and don't forget your inhaler, don't buy drinks with your dinner, wait until you get into a casino and get them for free, and the best lesson I learned was wearing heels was not an ideal choice for after my meetings! you live and you learn, so I am sure the next time I go there I will do things right! For starters I will take my boyfriend with me, who I missed the whole time, I will stay away from caesars because its too tempting, I will stop to see more tings including shows, I will spend more time there, and I will take a pair of tennis shoes. All in all it was fun, but I would only do it again if Steve could be with me! (I have to have someone carry me when I forget my inhaler! LOL)

If you have any interest in income property in the Lafayette area, I encourage you to give me a buzz or keep checking back at my new website once I get it up and going. I have some clients here in town that are getting ready to list several of their rental properties with me in the next few weeks, and they have already told me that they will be priced to move. These owners take care of thier properties and I know you will be impressed! Keep checking my website, they will be there soon!

I will be creating a new website pretty soon that you must see! I am going to make sure it is edgy and technologically advanced. I will still use the url: www.tinadevoreralty.com but this site is going to offer you so much more! I will make sure it is user friendly and can link you to sites that you use the most! This is very exciting, as I have done my research and have seen what is out there. There are so many mmore options than i could ever imagine. i'm about to get techy! :)

I have taken on a new task/job which I think will be a fun challenge. I am the new finance manager at Mark Dimmich's Cars To Go in Lafayette. This seems like a natural progression from what I do day to day anyway, and so far I really like it. We have began an in-house financing program that I am in charge of and I believe it will be very successful. This is just like runing an apartment complex to me, I am checking people out, interviewing them, selling them, and processing the paperwork. I never thought I would get back into the car business again, seeing how I have been out of it for 9 years, but who knew! so i can help you get the car you want during the day and then help you get the home you want at night and weekends! did I mention that I love to stay busy?! :) 

I hope you had a very happy holiday season! I know that I did! Now I am ready to begin a new year and I have made myself several goals for 2008. all of which I expect to reach...I'll keep you updated! This is definately Indiana, with its ever changing weather and unpredictable forcast. I was expecting to walk outside today and be cold but it is a very nice day for January! Our grass is still green...I'm ready for the spring! Happy holidays and best wished to you and yours!

I am looking for a property zoned for general business in Lafayette, IN for my client. He is looking for something moderately priced and to possible be able to have cars there to sell. Have anything like this??? Please let me know by sending me an email to tinadevore@realtyexecutives.com. He wants to make a move as soon as possible. He is not interested in leasing at all, so please do not ask. Thank you!

I never have! I am a military brat, so I have been all over the world, but I haven't traveled that much inside the united states.

Next week I will be taking my first trip to Las Vegas. It is for business, but there will be plenty of time for me to go out there and see some sights. My question for you...what MUST I see? I want to go to the most amazing places, see the most amazing shows, etc. I am not a big gambler, but i can't wait to see all the lights and the night life.

I was told the fountain show infront of the Billogio is amazing and I plan to catch that. The only other MUST on my agenda now is the designer mall at Caesars Palace!

What else??????

I want a memorable experience. Please let me know if you have been there and what I should do!

Thanks!

I have managed all types of proeprties before...market, college, tax credit, and rural development. I am now adding section 8 to my list. I must tell you, this is hard work. For anyone who thinks that they have a tough job, manage a HUD proerty. At least with tax creidt you recertify people annually and there are not a ton of occassions where you have to do an interim. At subsidized properties, I have to redo every file everytime something changes by $200 per month or if someone has a baby, etc. So at any given time I have 50+ files sitting on my desk being certified again.

A fun example that happens almost daily (extreme sarcasm)...

Someone gets a job at a local fast food store. Now they have $200+ in income a month so i have to verify, redo leases and paperwork. They now have a new rent figure, its all figured out. The day they come to sign that new lease they inform me that they no longer work there. Now we have to sign the lease and redo all the paperwork and I have to verify again that they no longer work there so adjust thier rent to $0. Then they have to sign a new lease again. But the kicker is.....in a month, they might find another job!

For every person out there who runs a subsidized property....I understand! You are a glutten for punishment...like myself!

The upside of running a subsidized property....there is never a dull moment! You are helping people get back on thier feet! you can really make a difference to some people! That out weighs all the negatives! 

 

 

Are you displaying your pink ribbons proudly? It is my belief that even though now is Breast cancer Awareness month, we should display our ribbons whenever we want to. I am sure everyone knows someone who has had breast cancer. It is a very serious thing and I am glad that we do set aside time to talk about it and raise awareness. I encourage every woman to go have a test done. Woman tell me they are afraid to get them done for 2 reasons...1. what will they find, 2. it will hurt. My respopnse is...you are going to hurt so much more if you don't find out you have this until its too late. Get it done now, get it over with so you can say "i don't have it".
