Friday Wrap Up – Las Vegas Condos & More

3 Replies

The Friday wrap up! Oh yeah it’s the weekend, and the sun is shining. It’s been an eventful week and I am jumping back into the real estate game again with the purchase of a 2 bedroom condo in Burnaby in the same complex as this 2 bed room condo.  The vendor was asking for $215,000 but I got it for $200,000, so not a bad deal. This unit needs some paint and maybe I will pullout the carpet and put some nice dark laminate flooring to give it a modern look to it. So another one under my belt which means more tenants to deal with, lol.[ad#ad-1]

Also I was checking out my favorite Vancouver real estate gurus site, Ozzie Jurock. And I saw some “hot properties” from Las Vegas. I talked about how I wanted to buy a condo down in Phoenix, Arizona because of the hot climate and super cheap deals. I never went through with it because even though the condo was cheap $150,000 for a 3 bedroom, it wasn’t cheap enough to buy down there. Well Ozzie Jurock posted about the amazing deals down in Vegas, and they are amazing.

You can get 1500 square feet 3 bedroom 2 level condos/townhouses for roughly $75,000 to $85,000 US. So that works out to about $95,000 to $105,000 Canadian for a 3 bedroom condo in Vegas!! Oh and these places are brand new! I contacted the realtor in charge of the Las Vegas condos and we spoke last night. He sent me a bunch of word docs with all the pricing  of various condos, from 2 bedroom for $55,000  and 3 bedrooms going up to $85,000. The photos are sweet, I have one at the bottom of this post. I figured with such low prices they would be out pretty far (30 minutes from the strip), but they are 15 minutes away from the Las Vegas strip, so that was wicked. I’m to a gambler or anything, but a nice warm climate is what I am seeking. The great thign is Vegas is only a 2 hour flight from Vancouver.

I am seriously tired of the weather here in Vancouver, especially the rain in the winter. This will be my second home, especially with these discounted prices. Prices in Vegas have dropped roughly 66%!!! These deals are completely unreal, anyways I am very excited and can’t wait to get my ass on a plane down to Las Vegas to see them in person. And the temperature in Las Vegas was a smoking 32 celsius yesterday!

It will be damn nice to have the option to jump on a plane when the weather turns to hell here, and chill in Vegas for a month or so. Obviously you can rent them out as well for some great cash flow. Anyways, I’m getting ahead of myself and all hyped up.

This is only one of them, I’m too lazy to upload all the pics. All the condos are in gated communities and come with community swimming pool, close to mountains and walking trails etc. Really nice photos the realtor sent me of the condos, but I will be seeing them in person to see how great they really are. Who knows they may be right next to a nuclear power plant! It’s always smart to go visit these places in person. I learned my lesson the hard way, lol…[ad#ad-1]

I also took a bunch of photos this week:

That’s all for now folks. Time to get ready to bike ride to the Metrotown  library.

10 Pairs Of Puma Shoes Or An $1100 Chateau Wine Bottle

Leave a reply

Holy sh*t, I forgot all about this song, until I was driving back from The Number 5 Orange. This is some 80’s Canadian rock, that kicks some ass. Harlequin! “Thinking Of You” from 1980, I was 10 years old in 1980. Oh how the years fly by and the grey hairs creep in, but good music is always good music. Enough on that…

As usual I have my digital camera close by, being nerd that I am. I snapped photos of some of the ugliest Puma shoes I have ever seen. I am a Puma fan but these are a little far out for me, but then again I’m kinda vanilla. Photos taken at the Granville Street Puma store.

Gianni wanted to check out the most expensive bottles of wine, and he saw that they had a bottl e going for about $5,500. We had to see it in person so we rolled down to the B.C. liquor store on Alberni street. We didn’t find any wine bottles selling for that much, but I saw a bottle of Chateau selling for  $1,100 (see picture below). I like my wine but WTF, $1,1000 for a bottle of crushed grapes?! Umm, no thanks buddy…

Anyhoo, if you want to spend your 2 week paycheck on one bottle of  Chateau wine go down to the  B.C. liquor store on Alberni street. Bada bing!

$1100 a bottle for Chateau Mouton RothsChild……

Seems cheap compared to the bottle of Chateau in the picture above, ha ha.

Enough of this computer crap for tonight, it’s 12:07 pm. Nighty, night folks.

I’m Back Baby & Ready To Make My NEXT Million

Leave a reply

Since my earnings dropped from my high I’m getting back into the swing of things. I was kinda bummed out for the last 3 weeks, but now I am getting my groove back on.  I am no where near broke or anything like that, far, far from it. It’s like if Donald Trump was pulling in 300 million a year then it dropped to 150 million a year. It went down 50% but from a large sum that most people would still die for. That being said I figured out a way to get out of my slump and it’s stupidly simple.

I realized like most people when you are feeling down you tend to be lazier and dwell on the past or negativity. How I combated this was super simple, I am keeping busy working (like I should be). At the moment I am basically thinking of every possible method that I can use to make even more money now. It makes sense and I have said it before, what you focus on will expand. I focused on doing nothing, and nothing was acvomplished, very simple. What a waste of f*ck*ng time!

My business is all about how much I put into it. If I don’t work for the week, then I won’t see increases in my earnings. My income will usually just stay the same, which isn’t bad by any means. But this is a million dollar business, and it needs to be taken seriously if you want to get that million…

Another thing I know and noticed more this past few weeks is that the more I work, the more fulfilled I feel inside. I feel like I accomplished something, and that makes me feel good. I HATE just wasting time on nothing and the last few weeks I feel that I would just dwell on what could have been. I have had set backs before (lots of them) and I always come back stronger than ever, this time will be the same as before I’m sure of that.

It doesn’t take much to make a ton of cash in affiliate marketing once you know how to do it. It’s just a matter of actually doing it. I am by no means a lazy person, but  finally I feel like I am back to myself, productive and aggressive.

I am heading off to the Dominican Republic on Sunday and I will be gone for 2 weeks, which is a much needed break. I will come back even more energized and ready to take on the world. Sometimes when life kicks in you in the b*lls, it’s a bit hard to get back up. But you know, I am pretty damn proud of what I have accomplished in the last 5 years of my life,  not many people are able to do what I have done. Most of my friends wouldn’t even believe it, if I told them. It was  a TON of work to learn what I know now, it’s insane really. If you think making money online is easy, then think again. It’s easy when you know what I know and send countless hours learning, everything from PhotoShop, DreamWeaver, WordPress, copy writing, landing page design, color theory, how to write articles, how to deal with online ad agencies, how to do pay per click and so on, b lah, blah, blah………….. A ton of stuff to know.

Anyways, I am just happy that I got my groove back, and I am feeling better and kicking ass once again. Bada Bing!! smily face smily face smily face smily face

Burnaby Graffiti And East Van SunRises

2 Replies

A few random photos I took, graffiti and sunrises. A camera is meant to capture life, good or bad, dirty or clean, dark or bright.  It doesn’t have to make sense, most things in this world make little if any sense, but they seem “normal”. What am I trying to say? Who knows and who cares. Enjoy the photos then turn off your computer and go for a walk. See ya!

I thought this was too funny not to photograph. I waited for the MetroTown Public Library to open and this piece of work was scrawled on a metal support beam… Someone has some serious problems. I misspelled “read” with “reads”, my bad.

I saw this Obama graffiti stencil on an electrical box in Burnaby a few weeks ago. Luckily it was still there so I could snap a photo of it. Yeah, yeah it’s graffiti, cry me a river….

When Life Punches You In The Face, Then Fight Back

Leave a reply

After venting about my problems in my last post, today I feel a renewed sense of energy today. For those who know me, they know I can bitch and whine, then I just get back into it. For some reason I feel great today, even with the recent pitfalls. But if you can’t get back up when life punches you in the face you’re not much of a man if you ask me.  Having pitfalls makes me stronger. Every time something like this happens to me, I get back stronger and make even more money.  Maybe that is why I am soo excited? I guess that ‘s the reason I feel revived, because I know I am going to make even more money very soon. It’s a weird cycle in my life, when sh*t happens it ALWAYS works out for the better. It’s strange but oh so true scenario in my life.

Maybe it’s just the way I view life, but things always get better for me after they dip. So let’s get this day started and see how great it will be…  And if you’re the kind of person to look at the dark side of life, you are doing yourself a huge disservice. When you are down and out, how can you possibly move forward? I will tell, YOU CAN’T!  Cry for an hour then work hard after that. Get your spirit back and run with the bulls. Don’t be a wimp, have balls and get it going!

If you’re life is hard, give it the middle finger and tell yourself you can and will succeed. You have no choice but to succeed, it’s you life and you need to control it the way you want it to turn out.  Think of your life as a school  bus and you are the driver. You need to control it, speed up when it’s needed and put the brakes when you have to. If you need to make detour to get to where you are going, then do it.  You are in control of your life, so make damn sure you like the view, if not then change the course of your life.

You have only one life, so live it the way you want to ever single day of it.
