Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hello all! I hope everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow! For the past couple weeks, our family has been telling each other what we are thankful for in our lives. It's pretty funny what the girls come up with but it's a great exercise! Anyhoo, I just wanted to check in and give an update....

Tonight I have an appointment with a local broker about hanging my license with him. I spoke with him last week and gave him a quick "snapshot" of what I wanted. He seems pretty open so we'll see what he has to say tonight. I'm sure it will be quick because of the holiday tomorrow!

Next week I have a meeting with Brian, which I'm looking forward to. I told him I'm feeling a sense of "analysis paralysis"-Yuck! It's strange... I thought it would be easy changing markets but, boy howdy, was I wrong.

I found a few houses that may be good leads. One seems like a great deal but it's been on the market for 50 days? Hmmm... I did my market analysis and will be going to look at it on Friday, I hope. It's hit or miss these days on when I get the LB numbers.

That's it for now. Hopefully I'll have a property locked up in a couple of weeks for a winter project! I'll keep ya posted!

Again, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Finding a lot of "TOM"'s

The property I wrote about in my last blog, with the collapsed wall, is a "TOM" (temporarily off the market). I was just about to send my offer out last Monday and thought, "hmmm, I should see if it's still active?!". It wasn't... it was expired. I called the listing agent and she told me the house is TOM. There are a few others I've had interest in and then found out they were off the market too. I have been told that the listing agents are still taking offers but holding them until the bank is ready to move on them again. I'll be honest, I'm a little frustrated BUT I know it's just a matter of time before I hit something! I guess I'm just inpatient. It's been a while since I've done anything and I want some action, baby!

I've got a list of properties I'm going to look at this week, probably Thursday. More than 1/2 are vacant short sales that have been on the market a while. I have not looked at how close they are to auction but I need to get some offers out there!

I'm thinking I need to start my yellow letter campaign again but the thought simply overwhelmes me. Not sure why? I did it in the past and found a few properties? I don't know, not right now but maybe soon.

Pretty exciting stuff, huh?!?! Hope you all have a marvelous week!!
