aren’t going anywhere if I can help it! But you are right, my job is getting in the way of my income. It is just that my income is a little low right now to live on.
So I will do what you said, get it under contract and see who I can peddle it to. I finally found a person I know in my area who does this type of investment…he might want it.
Thanks,
Philip

I have come into a situation where I don’t have time, with my job, to even look at the referred mh’s that are going to be repoed. And I don’t have but 4. Feast and famine syndrome.

More Sleep - Posted by Dr. B (OH)

Philip,
I had to respond to this one. Your reply to Ben is right on. Despite the pressure to push on and skip sleep, we are MUCH more likely to be less efficient, have poorer attention, and make more mistakes.

That being said, we all tend to push ourselves particularly when we’re excited. I should have been in bed an hour ago but I love this site!

I’m going to bed now so I can be alert for the next negotiation. That includes wife, kids, projects around the house, contracts, buyers, sellers, etc.

Less sleep?? - Posted by Ben_WA

Try cutting out 1 hour of sleep for the next two weeks. By my calculations that gives you 14 hours to work on those MHs. Just an idea.

Good Luck, Ben_WA

Can the wife work until you have a steady income? Briton

Sounds like your job is … - Posted by Dr. Craig Whisler CA NV

…interfering with your income.

Just eliminate a few unimportant things in your life, like wife and kids, and go make some money. If you don’t have time or funds to do the deal, just get it under contract with 60 days to perform and a weasel clause in case you can’t. Then sell you contract to someone else.

Maybe you could trade it for some fun toys. You’ll be needing them to fill the void in your life when wife and kids leave.

Regards, doc

And here I am up at 5:30 in the morning because I am an insomniac sometimes. But I do go to bed at night, mostly on time.
Yes a tired person makes mistakes.
Thanks,

That would be great, but I am already tired. I am afraid I would become manic and purchase 12 mobiles that I don’t need and arent priced well.
But you are right, where there is a will there is a way.

She allready does, and she wants to quit… - Posted by Philip

Posted by Philip on August 21, 2003 at 16:59:29:

before I do…and I would like that too. She is allready helping me a little with organizing paperwork, and she will eventually help with more legwork. She, however, will never want to chase, hunt,find and close any deals…for a long time…but when she does THEN I will be able to quit…and stay home and eat potato chips…cause she will be good at it!
