How To Manage Rentals (Property Management)

Thankfully I've had some great mentors and have purchased some very insightful texts, courses and forms. I've purchased my real estate right, marketed smart, thoroughly screened, selected and placed quality tenants. Now I get to manage my investments.

What do you do when a screen in a window has been removed? Or, how do you respond when a down spout is disconnected?

I use Mike Butler's Quickbooks modification.











Here's one I found on YouTube (I don't use this)

Motivation by Purpose

2009 is right around the corner. I'm looking back at 2008 and taking an account of my progress.

Join with me as I relish in my success (...or scroll down):

I became intentional with the time I spent with my family. I made specific appointments in my calendar for family time on a weekly basis and even planned out some memorable vacations.

I wrote down some goals. I made a point, on this blog in fact, to write out some things I wanted to accomplish.

I focused on training for a run. Special Report...after that run I laid off training and I gained more body fat than ever. Note to runners, don't stop running cold turkey.

I returned to martial arts training learning the Shorin-Ryu style. (This is NOT me...yet.)



I also started a new speaking and leadership group in my area using the Toastmasters International format. --That's been a very rewarding.

I just about forgot, I began a professional consulting service coaching individuals who struggle with ADD. More specifically, I work with individuals and business professionals who experience overwhelm from distractions, disorganization and poor time management.

Attention Management Consulting begins with a short survey. --Just for being a reader, I'll give you a free analysis.

So, What are YOU going to do?

WikiAnswers.com says that the top goal of Americans is to "lose weight".

Are you using an online goal setting tool? I've checked out a few. Which have you seen?

Will you write a book, start a blog, go bowling, take a college course, ask for a promotion, listen to a podcast, treat yourself to a night out, buy flowers, see fine art, give a compliment, face a fear, waste time online, stay in bed an extra 10-minutes, hire a personal consultant, commit to finishing a project...?

I think you should buy Real Estate! I'll be happy to help you find some great deals.

Keep going!

I am a business owner

Are you a business owner too? I am a business owner, an adult, a responsible bill payer. I have duties. I have more duties than most.

I am not a parent; I don't have children. I'm not a caretaker; I don't have an elderly father to care for.

But, I've got a business. In fact, I've got a couple businesses. They take hard work. They take creativity and discipline. And I enjoy every minute of it.

Now I'm faced with a messed up economy. I've got a housing market that is a wreck, clients that are frantic and opportunities that are unbelievable. And I can see that now is my chance to crank up the heat and turn average businesses into stories of extraordinary success.

What are you doing to capitalize on the amazing opportunities that are everywhere?

Can you see the piles of gold? Do you look through eyes of discipline and optimism? Gaze through the filter of the disciplined entrepreneur?

I'm stoked!
