The Glamorous Life of a Real Estate Investor

I haven’t been writing lately.

I haven’t been doing anything remotely close to my daily routinely lately.

I’ve been dealing with our current Detroit rehab and all the goings on with that 24/7. And this isn’t your typical “my contractors screwed up” or “we’re running behind” or some other small hiccup.

This is more like “some squatters next door decided to break into my house and start stealing stuff at night” type crap. It’s a long story, and it likely doesn’t all need to be written out but I slept in our rehab Sunday and Monday night.

Well, correction… I stayed there at night. I got essentially zero sleep but instead watched the neighbors do what I can only guess is run drugs and pimp out some cracked out girl at all hours of the night, attempt to repair a 30 foot RV that would make the Breaking Bad one look presentable, and hot wire cars.

So far it’s cost me a couple sleepless nights, my contractors’ tools, an AC condenser, and a couple broken windows. Hopefully that’s all, but I’m not counting on it just yet. Needless to say I’m pulling on every relationship in the community I have to try and get these guys out of there. And I think we’re making some progress finally.

Here’s to hoping tomorrow, and the rest of the week, are better.

And mom, sorry you’re just finding out about it. I haven’t been able to call because this has been consuming every waking moment of my days. Talk soon!
