And finally, after 8 days of dirt, grime, dusty carpets, bent screws, toxic fumes and sweat here it is. I fixed this place up in 8 days, start to finish and I am glad it’s over. I’m proud of how it came out, even though I never did the work myself  I still think it came out pretty sweet.

I just posted it on Craigslist.com, so the phone should start ringing soon enough. Damn I’m tired. I’ll be happy when I’m doing internet marketing all day long again. I had fun this week, but labor work sucks after a while, for me anyways.  It’s all done just in time for the weekend….

I’m still working from my newly purchased rental condo in Burnaby, as the renovations go on. The painting is going at a pretty fast speed, and they are doing a great job. I was worried at first because I found these guys through Kijiji.ca and sometimes you don’t know the type of workmanship people have if you have never used them before. I would recommend these guys to everyone, awesome people.

I’m doing good on time and might possibly be able to get this place rented for the 1st of June. It’s possible but I won’t hold my breathe. Overall the cost of this quick condo update is about $4,000 which is pretty damn good for how nice it is starting to look. I went with the basic taupe/mocha color style.  Initially I chose a light green for the bedrooms but they looked retarded, when I saw them painting it so I told them to stop and use the “lulled beige” color instead, which looks like a mocha (see pictures below).

This is my RRSP (registered retirement savings plan). I love having real estate, I get a paycheck every single month and I will continue to do so until I die, and then my wife and kids will keep getting the checks. It might not sound glamorous having rental properties, but who cares? Call me Mr. Roper or whatever but in the long run money is money. Its easy to run rental properties and the maintenance is basic stuff. And the returns can’t be beat, in 5-10 years from now this place might double in price.

Enough for now , back to work.
