The trending topics are flooded with concerns based on current events, and understandably so. However, life goes on! What’s going well for everyone??

For me, I have a couple great successes

1. A deal fell through in a very shady and frustrating way earlier this month. It was extremely lucrative, but i was going to be highly leveraged on it. I’m now thankful it didn’t go through, my portfolio is much less risky, and my reserves will go much further!

2. Social isolation is still in effect at a property I’m rehabbing, and not traveling weekly for my full time job gives me time to save money by doing my own work! I can now do much more of the painting and flooring install that will ultimately save me thousands!

3. Time to focus on branding!! I can now spend more time building my network, adding to my website, creating valuable content, and setting myself up for success in the future because of the current situation!

Many millionaires are built in times of crisis, and there are tons of great things happening despite the negative! Share your stories!!

@Patrick Menefee thanks for a refreshing topic

I’m doing social emotional lessons online while students are not in school. Go enjoy and smile!

Some of rent I have gotten gave me the freedom to stay at my sister's house.  she's a doctor & I feel like me being here has helped. 

Also gonna put together a Facebook group with all my awesome prior boarders! Pretty excited actually.  I've interacted with some awesome people.  I've been meaning to do this for along time.

That's one of the silver linings...there are some of the things we've been meaning to do for quite some time that we suddenly have the time to finally start doing!

Luckily(?) I am a loner introvert so social distancing etc is not really changing my life..... now, people dont look at me oddly when i step back or want my own space :) 

RE wise, with “perfect” timing I am closing on the sale on one asset and buying two others.... going from free and clear to 60% leveraged..... its nerve wracking, but I am excited to be playing with the big boys and expanding my portfolio - learning a ton and grateful I have the opportunity to be where I am in life....

Congratulations on the expansion! What types of properties are these? Care to share a little more about them? Glad to see someone still moving forward in spite of everything going on!

my dog seems to be much happier lately

@Patrick Menefee multi family - 10 units new construction (when purchased in 2015) to 20 units new construction now. A bit more than doubling my investment $$... scary especially now, but with low interest rates I figured it was a good time to jump.... of course my timing was perfect - top of the market and right before covid 19.... i freaked..... but then decided to be positive instead of negative...  i dont know what the future holds, and I would probably not of made this move if I knew covid 19 was lurking, but it is what it is... and I am learning a ton and they are nice buildings!

Little victories. Just don't tell him why you're around more...he doesn't need to hear that
