Day 2 of 90 (03/18/14)

Side Note: It's my brothers 31st birthday.

So today was by far the laziest day I've had. Although I did create a custom form letter to send out to potential Realtors. I'd love to do a customized for each person one but I know myself and I'd get bored after the second one. So I did a blanket letter instead. Must remember to send more out tomorrow.

Some of my laziness was due to a personal issue that had arisen. I was informed that I would have to have surgery on both my wrists for Carpal Tunnel. Being 33 that felt like a slap in the face. I wasn't expecting it at all. Doc said I'd be out for three weeks for one wrist and then work for a week then be out for three weeks for the other wrist. So now the question comes, do I hold off until after the 90 days or should I find a way to use this "time off" to my advantage? Granted I'd be down a hand during this time but I wouldn't be a complete invalid (did I spell that right?).

Dawn Anastasi made a comment and brought up a good point, I need clearer objectives. "One rental property in 90 days." isn't bad but it is vague.

The rental property I am looking for can be either a Single or a Multi (up to 4). I'd ultimately prefer a Multi but if the numbers look and run good, who am I to complain? At this moment I don't need to live on the property personally. I would like to cashflow $100 per door. I'd like to stay in my area here which is Spartanburg County, SC. I don't know it like the back of my hand, yet, but I do know it better than that town near Windsor, MI. I would like to be completely hands off with the property once it is rentable.

I don't know if I just made that clearer or fuzzier.

  1. Sorry to hear about your wrists. I think since you get solid 6 weeks off, you should use that towards your challenge - it will keep your mind busy and hopefully get some investment going :)
