122 days into 2012 – what did you do in the last 30 days?

Time really flies when you’re busy. Last month I looked at a few houses but only a few passed the test.

I made an offer on a 3bd SFH and the out of state owner accepted. I should close later this month. I'm working with my bank to get see if I can get the home inspection rolled into the final costs.

I’m working on a deal with a rent to own property but first need to talk to a bank to see if I could refi it in order to cash flow. More to follow on this.

The third deal I plan to work on is a rented duplex that the owner is selling for $49,000. I plan to do a drive by this morning to get an idea of the area.

I've followed Diane Kennedy the past few year and went through her to do my taxes. I filled an extension on my taxes and need to talk to the account since my tax numbers looked different this year than past years.

So what did you do last month?

The last 30 days have been busy! Some people may have noticed I have not posted over the last couple weeks...I have been very busy getting ready to move back to Kentucky. Some of the accomplishments from the last 30 days include:

1) Closing on our latest rehab (all in at $210, sold for $280)
2) Put a duplex which I will occupy when I move back under contract. We will be fully renovating it, including building a garage which will have a finished office above it (approx 700 sq ft of office space)
a. Developed renovation budget
b. Picked out finishes (this one is different since my wife is involved)
3) Made multiple offers (including our first cash offer). With a little luck we will have one locked up by the middle of next week.
4) Reviewed and modified 5 year plan
5) Created a business Google+ page
6) Made some adjustments to the website (more webmaster and function related than visual)

I am sure there are some things I am leaving off, but here’s to another solid 30 days!
