Hi Everybody- hope you are having a delightful weekend!

I had planned on posting a Reader Mail video tonight, but my Sony Vaio that is just a little over a year old is BUSTED.  WOOHOO!  Thankfully the 1 year warranty recently expired, which is extra awesome.

It all started Wednesday evening while I was trying to write my weekly article for the BiggerPockets blog.  Fortunately for me I didn’t save my work as I was writing, and then my POS Vaio decided to lose power for no apparent reason, and so I lost everything.  It’s gotten progressively worse since then.

I’ll spare you all the gory details, but bottom line is that I’m sans laptop for the time being.  Thankfully, there’s a business center on the 8th floor of the building I live in, so that’s a good thing.

I do have some good news about the land deal that Murphy and I are working on- the title came back clear on all 3 parcels!  The seller has already signed off on everything, and now we are just waiting on a signed contract back from the guys up North.  They’ve had the paperwork since Monday, so I’m a wee bit concerned that they haven’t gotten it back to us yet.  Murphy talked to them on Friday and they said they are having their atty (the dreaded A word), look everything over and they will have the executed docs back to our title company this coming Monday.

It’s probably nothing to worry about, but you just never know.  I’ve had deals fall apart at the closing table, so I don’t ever count my chickens (or Benjamins, in this case), until they are sitting happily in my bank account.

Other than that, I’ve got that other REO deal that I’m working on with one of my buddies, which should hopefully be ready to go this coming week or next.  Technically, the bank has until the 15th of next month to close, but last I heard, the lady at the bank’s title co said everything will be ready before then.  Famous last words.

What else?

 Oh, This morning  I went out to an event at Pet Smart on the  Humane Society’s MAC (Mobile Adoption Center), and found homes for three doggies!  The dog I was in charge of (Ellie Mae), didn’t end up getting adopted, but she almost came home with me.   If anyone in the Tampa area is reading this and is looking for a sweet little doggie (who got kicked to the curb because her owners got divorced and didn’t want her anymore), Ellie Mae is back at the shelter and ready to be adopted!  (She’s even cuter in person, btw). 

 Have a great weekend Everybody!

Amanda McNall- Author of MLSWordSearch!

Congratulations Amanda McNall, and thank you so much for plagiarizing this article that I wrote for the BiggerPockets Blog!  I can’t tell you how excited I was to see it posted (verbatim) on your blog yesterday!!!!

That’s totally awesome, because I secretly love spending my time writing content so that random lazy assholes on the internet can steal it and then try to pass it off as their own!

Way to go Amanda McNall- plagiarizing rocks!

I mean, what’s the point of spending time writing your own articles or paying someone to write them for you, when you can just head on over to the BiggerPockets blog and steal content from someone else- FOR FREE!!!! Woooooohoooooo!

So, without further ado, Amanda McNall, I’d like to present you with the esteemed Flip This Wholesaler Douchebag of the Month Award!

Keep up the great plagiarization work, Amanda McNall- you’re making the douchebags of the world a proud bunch!

P.S.
I’ve written 25 other articles on BiggerPockets- please feel free to steal those, too.

P.P.S.
Don’t forget to hit me up on Facebook- I have over 3000 contacts, which provides a great opportunity for you to spam affiliate links on my wall! I enjoy that almost as much as getting my articles ripped off!

P.P.P.S
Is douchebag one word or two? My spell checker tells me it’s two, but Lord Google says otherwise…
