This has been an interesting summer so far....Personally it has been going great! A trip to China! I took care of my brother after he had a kidney removed because of cancer (not great but neccesary). We are planning a famiy reunion at the end of the summer. My kids are doing well. Even the animals seem fine.
Professionnly I am in a quandry. The last house I sold by myself closed in May. The maarket has turned and it is really getting difficult for me find homes for the buyers in Boise, Idaho. The buyers cannot beleive the market turned. I put in a bid for myself and was turned down because my full price offer on a short sale just was not good enough. I knew that going to but I hoped if I slipped it in fast enough it just might go. I took on a buiness partner and that is going well. She is a stylist and I am getting a bit tired working around her schedule. We have to work nights and it is hard on me (I do work nights but I signed a buyer at 11:45 AM which is past my bedtime). I am pretty pleased on how that is going. Besides I am not doing much else real estate wise. I took on a new property to manage. That makes 12..... On Sunday one of the windows of my step-mothers 5 plex had a rock thrown through it. I had a very scared 60 year old single lady... My handiman/business partner cleaned it up and I ordered the glass that should be there on Tuesday.
My dad went away and I dog sat.... The dogs are cute but that was a bit more time shaved off the day.... I like to dabble in politics but I am afraid to give time right now until I get my real estate house in order.... I know I can be useful to my favorite local politians but they don't NEED me to MAKE money. I need to MAKE money so I can help EVERYONE else....
The trips took a lot out of me.... I was gone 4 weeks out of 6. It is hard to get excited when you are home for just 2 weeks....
I feel like I am on a hamster wheel. I keep doing things but they are not monatarily productive. I stand to earn $700 for June, July and August. I am working very hard doing it. I don't know how to give up the non productive stuff I do so I can concentrate on prospecting. I am a great agent but prospecting is the thing I like least and what I am not good at. I am great finding the home... Making sure it is the right home.... Listing a home for the right price. Negotiating the deal.... I know how to to modify loans (more non-paid work) and give give some credit counceling.
