Day 5

First thing this morning we headed to The Beauty to drop off 25 more info flyers. So far, 76 flyers have been taken from the box! That's pretty impressive! Happy that we are able to get the info out there to interested buyers in such an easy way...between this marketing method, our Google Voice call-in number containing a recorded message regarding the property, directional signs, Facebook marketing, Craigslist, and MLS, it's only a matter of time before the info finds its way to the right buyer...

Next we headed to the Port City REIA (real estate investors association) meeting featuring 2 speakers who discussed buying HUD homes. We got some practical info and got a chance to talk with our fellow investor peeps...

 

After this we headed to Sugar Pine and got to work painting the old ugly swing set in the backyard. We realized that it was too big to remove and haul away as we originally had planned - and a young family may see it as a great place for their child to play. So, we decided to give it a face lift. It cost around $40 and definitely helped it's appeal...

Look how high the swing set it! Dave is 6'4" if that helps you at all!

Hey guys! It's me in my work "uniform"!

We loaded up the truck with the last of the tree limbs and trash (yay!) and headed home at dark (still waiting on the power to be turned on).

Tomorrow we start pressuring washing and repairing siding. Can't wait to start painting - gonna try out a new color...
