BCRELLC NEW JOURNAL

Hey Cathy!!your doing amazin, its like you just busted down the doors of deals and are cleaning the place out! Glad to hear your doing well. keep up the great work and maybe well meet again at the edge.
Richie

Boy you are relentless lol. Actually my son speaks a different laguage then me.These young kids have their own language here. Maybe it is part southern and thats why I dont understand what the hell he's saying at times
Always good to hear from you Randy.

Richie

This one I think is every were. I think all the kids got together so we couldn't figure out what was going on. Kids today are kinda like REI something new everyday,And yes I am relentless in all mt affairs today. But you have to rembember I don't accept no. Hope you get your first check from the south before Christmas. You will have to wrap it up and give it to yourself. Of course it has to be in a frame, To go on you wall' Saying in caps above the pitcher, FIRST MONEY FROM THE SOUTH BUT NOT THE LAST.

Randy

Randy I love your idea for Richies present to himself- only I say make a color copy of the check to frame and most definitely cash the real thing Its been a long time coming for you on this one Richie. How cool your son is showing an interest! Sure wish I had learned about this at that age - wow! Ok my friend - just checking in and wanted to say hi! Talk to you soon

That Randy is a trip isnt he
Well my property manager stopped by to check out the duplex before he starts advertising to make sure it will pass inspection from sec 8 inspectors. Just need a few screens. Should be rented in around 2 weeks he says. After that I will finish the other side and get that rented. Denny is taking care of the small stuff for me, Thank you Denny and Lea for your time and help I really do appreciate it. We will have a good time when I stop in
Finally all the hard work and persistance is paying off. At one time I thought it wuold never get done, but i kept going. We ran into more road blocks than I thought possible Well its like they say, if you give up youll never know.
never ever give up!!

Richie

You are such a trooper with this whole deal - I am so impressed with your positive attitude, solution seeking, and never waivering faith that this would get done and start cash flowing you! I am really proud of you and inspired by you my friend! Now on to the next side and then on to the next deal!!!

jay

Hey Jay, good to hear from you. Lea, Denny and I make a great team, The good part is they are learning from this as well as me. As far as writing a book, i'll leave that to Dean lol. hopefully well get in touch soon to shoot the breeze. I hope to make it to the EDGE this coming yr but I will have to see where i am at financially because I have surgery planned around Jan 10th and it is a long healing process im told. But knowing myself I will push their time estimates and make it shorter besides I dont want to be out of work too long.

keep up the awsome work and say hello to the wife.
Richie

WOW, Its been a while since I posted
Well, all the rehab is done on one side of the duplex with just a little touch up left on the other side. Just had the screens replaced today also. Rent signs are on the lawn so I am hoping it will rent soon. I had to ask for a little less then I expected but it will still cash flow nice. although my property manager is looking for renters I also posted a listing on CL to help give it more exposure.
Still trying to refi, but I didnt like the numbers a broker gave me. Still searching for the best numbers, I may have to wait a yr for a better number.

Never EVER give up!!

Richie

Glad you are back. Hope you and the family had a nice Thanksgiving. Is your next deal lined up????

Hey cathy, how are ya!!
Sometimes you dont realize how long it is when your busy running around lol.
actually I am working on something but im not sure if its my next deal. Hope you and the family had a great holiday also. Keep knocking them down, I cant believe how far you came.

Richie

Hey Joe, thank you for thinking of me and stopping by. I hope you, Stacy and the boys have a great holiday!!!

Been a while since i last posted hasn't it

Richie

Your journal was on top of the home page, so I had to come and say hello.

I'm excited that you've been working with Lea and things are going well for you. I have to catch up more with all that you are doing, but wanted to stop by and wish you a Merry Christmas! I've missed keeping up with you.

Wishing you and yours the very best!! And already looking forward to the Edge 2011!
Louisa

Talk to you soon.

Lea

Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years!

Well its been a while since I posted, just not enough time in my day lately.
I got my first renter yesterday for the duplex. It took a little longer than I would have liked but I knew it was going to happen. Now it is on to get the other side rented. I had to drop my asking price but It still is a good cash flow. Property manager has been a little slow to deliver but the day before I was going to fire him, he called with the renter. Its a good thing I didnt ask Lea to handle things for me. He might have had a shoe where the sun don't shine lol. I think she grew more impatient then I did lol. Spoke to my partner about possibly refinancing what we can and investing it in another property I have my eye on. Its going to be 6 months we own the place and with the rehab done and the apts rented it will make it look better to the banks.
Its been a little slow because I havent had free time to put the work into REI. I will have a few free days coming up after surgery so if i feel up to it I will follow up on some projects I has started to research before my 9-5 took all my time up. I have to get something to Megan this week before she kills me .
Never EVER give up!!
Richie

Congratulations on your new tenant!! Denny & I are celebrating with you on this!!! It's been a long time coming but you did it and now we can see light at the end of the tunnel. What a journey this has been huh? About Ed, I was debating on whether to wear my baseball cleats or the ice skates I don't wear anymore. LOL! Well at least he came through in the end.

Denny & I will be keeping you in our prayers for your surgery and for a quick recovery!!

Lea

so glad to hear about the new tenant. i must say you "never ever give up" and it will always pay off for you. also glad you had a little time to post. i'm praying for a good surgery and a quick recovery. so glad Lea didn't have to pull out her cleats or skates!

Glad to see you are back. And believe me I do know about not having enough time in the day.

Randy

Glad you got your renter. I know that must be a weight lifted from you.

Keep us updated on your surgery. How long will you be off work?

Karen

Hey peoples thanks for the comments Just came back from the mountains. Spent the w/e with my daughter on a little get away before surgery tomorrow, I promised her I would take her up in the snow. looking forward to getting more deals under my belt now that the duplex is finally rented. I may have time on my hands to do more deals since i will be out of work for a while, well maybe not too long. I would go crazy with too much time on my hands;)
Lea& Denny I will catch up with you guys and things as soon as i feel up to it.
Never ever give up!!!
Richie

wanted to stop by and say hi, I have not been able to get here as much as I would like or to my journal -- my day job-- but continuing to look and make offers we getting closer I can feel it. Hope your holidays were great and hope your surgery goes well. Welcome to landlordhood... take care keep in touch.

I'm thrilled for you!! Your next deal is around the corner after the re-fi. Awesome...totally doing it, I love the cashflow deal!!! It's my goal for the next one. Whoo hoo!! It has been great to catch up with your journal.

Jamie and I will be thinking and praying for you, your surgery and a speedy recovery! All the best to you!!
Louisa

Hey pal hope surgery is over quickly and u have a speedy recovery.where up north do u go again? I believe u may have told me but not sure.one thing is you will have a little time to organize you next plan and line up your strategies for you r next deal.keep in touch! !
jay

This is really going all ot and being dedicated. But I really don't think the sugery will help you get the southern accent. Hope all goes well'

Randy

hahaha, You know I will do anything to be able to communicate with you Randy
Well I have to say i am honored to get a comment by you since I know you dont have time to __ __ __ __. I didnt know you were working with the academy. But I should have known that Dean would not let a guy like you get away. I am sure he hesitated but decided your (southern speach) handicap should not stop him from bringing on such a great REInvestor into his fold. You know he is originally from NY
GOOD LUCK on your new path and doors that are opening for you. You deserve all that comes your way, (why does the dog thing come to mind lol, j/k). As far as your KC partner goes, you couldn't have come up with a better one.
talk to ya soon
Richie

p.s. get your mind out of the gutter _R_ E__S _T_

Surgery went well, I took myself off the pain killers the second day. already started doing things and i expect to break the record for recovery time
I cant stand being still so I am pushing the envelope.
Thank you to all my friends for the well wishes.
Jay, I left a message on your phone for you. talk soon.
Richie
