Between Denver and Boulder

December 31 - Didn't get all those postcards addressed yesterday, so will finish those up today. Then off they go. I hope this plan works, sure seems like a good idea! Congratulations to all the Challenge members who made it through, and who got new business started. It's been fun reading your po...

December 30 - As the year draws to a close, and we're getting our first snowfall of the season here between Denver and Boulder - I got some postcards ordered for my new mail campaign. A few days ago I outlined a more detailed list of a custom postcard plan, but have decided to go with professiona...

The Colorado Real Estate Commission is a State agency that has oversight of real estate agents and practices here in CO.

December 29 - today I took care of several things: Cleaned up spam comments on my WordPress blog Explored software that I think will be really helpful for managing my rental properties, from a company called Rentec (an AR member) Reviewed my posts for this challenge, because it feels like like I ...

Today, December 23 I'm starting to feel the Christmas crunch. Yes, I procrastinated and now it is what it is! I can't believe the challenge is almost over too.

Day 22 of 31 - should get my new database typed up, then the hard work starts, dreaming up the mailing campaign. All I know so far is I want to advertise my blog, and hopefully drum up some new clients (BUYERS). (BTW - I'm going to ask for a favor - someone told me that my posts are really wide, ...

Today, December 21, I worked on typing addresses into a database I'm creating of non-owner occupied homes that rent for at least $1200.  I will start a mailing campaign to them once I get this database complete. (I've mentioned this database in a couple of previous posts, but that was my existing...
