congrats michael

on starting your journal. check with your bank again and see if you can get another approval for a second home the dp is less on a sec than an investment property and go from there, it may work for you, you never know till you ask

Hello, Michael!

Looks like you've got a lot of REI going on! Keep posting in your journal.
Hey, I was going to suggest that instead of posting a new topic for each day, you can just keep going in your original journal. It will be easier for everyone to follow. Smiling
Just go back to investing journals and click on your original. Here is a link, too, to get you there.
http://deangraziosi.com/node/5504
You can even re-title it if you want. Just hit the edit tab.
Then copy your 6/11 & 6/12 posts to put them in. Just a suggestion.

Glad you're here!!!

Rina

Hey Mike!!

Is that your property?? Wow, great job! You know I've been behind you 100%! I knew you'd get it done and rented like yesterday. If you need any help with marketing ideas, let me know. We want to get it rented and cash flowing asap! I'm so glad you got it done, the snags were just lessons you needed to learn, I've been going through that myself lately. But I'm still going strong and glad to see you are too. You know I'm down for partnering with you, we've talked alot and have been through some similar situations. Eye-wink Let me know what you have in mind. By the way what happened with MI? Looking forward to hearing from you. Again, just wanted to say how proud I am that you made it and are one step closer to your goal of financial freedom!!!
Continued blessings for you,

Hey, Mike.

Congrats on the completion! It might feel like it's moving slow, but look back to where you were LAST year, or 2 years ago? See any progress? You bet!!
It will be fun to look back next year and see all that you've accomplished.

Very impressed,

Rina

was just wondering

I am a Virginia native who recently moved to Phoenix AZ. I came here because of lower housing costs and the opportunity to work in a bigger store that satiates the recording desires of the musicians market. For some weird reason though, Ive always wanted to either visit or get the opportunity to live in the North (or South) pole when proven convenient. What would you say would draw someone to that kind of climate/territory? Ive heard the scenery and seclusion just 'fits' some people.

Hey dead_raver...

First, welcome to the desert!! You're a musician? Interesting! Well, after living in this HOT desert I'm sure the North or South Pole would be HEAVEN! I've often thought about Alaska myself... LOL! Anyway, I hope you PM me about the Rain in Phoenix. Eye-wink
God bless,
