Hi all

Got featured in a nationwide blog. link here..

http://chrisreining.com/case-study-rachael/

The blog owner editted somewhat. I am not a MULTI millionaire but probably sounded better in the blog..

I am doing ok. the guy who moved out never called me. sad, hurt, upsetting but moving on. Making new friends, joined hte Y doing aqua aerobics. LOVE it.. being more active. doing redecorating w the house. and extending my fence. I am doing some feng shui changes. house looks fantastic.. lost 10 pounds without really trying. MUCH less stressed.. stil doing my Dr Amen supplmements and just signed up on match.com but definately have a clearer idea of what I want and boundaries and not letting my life shrink when I meet the next guy. I still think this guy will call. very sad shocking the entire situation but it did force me to look at the negative aspects and I was not really happy and it was not going anywhere on the current trajectory..just sad..I have grown alot maybe he has too but MOVING FORWARD and not waiting.. no luck on Match yet but on 'day 2' so not been on that long.

refinancing the house to a 15 year term. slightly lower payment even with NO COSTS.. rate is 3.625 with this no cost option...I pay almost 6 now on a 5/1 arm.. so sortof win win. appraisal next week then we submit. mortgage guy has initial approvals so hopefully it passes the underwriter. he feels confident.

We are getting rid of the last of the tenants my old Property manager put in. she is currently not paying rent (so no rent for August from her but took her security) and she is hiding from service. but next door neighbor says she talked to her and she is moving by the first.. so we will check the 1st and change locks if moved out. hoping that is the case

She lived there for about a year and place looked awesome when she moved in.. hoping for minimal work

outside of that the homes, units are plugging along. Basically after I make Sept payments I have 18 months left until the 3 units are paid off. that is my highest payment of almost $6k a month. what a relief and then 2 months after that the 2 flat will be paid off.. currently tracking to an average of $8k a month once paid off.

work still going well . very well . adding more resources. I am setting boundaries. having more ME time and fun time and it feels great..


and a MILESTONE. I have made the SAME AMOUNT (actually slightly more)as of TODAY as I did ALL YEAR last year from the rentals. so now all net profit from this day forward is MORE than I did last year. So trying to beat last year by $30k plus even with repairs

Fingers crossed

Things are coming together. jsut miss the male companionship and still feel hurt, sad, upset from the crazy situation with the last guy..
