If you know me, you know one of my favorite things to do is read! I want to tell you about one of my FAVORITE books by one of my FAVORITE people, The Five Second Rule by Mel Robbins. This book COMPLETELY reinforced my love for the idea of taking action!
We’ve all had parents, coaches, teachers, friends and mentors who have pushed us to be better than our excuses and bigger than our fears, but what happens when we don’t have access to that support system? This book talks about the secret to having the confidence and courage to take action!
Whatever you do in life, the hardest part in starting and Mel Robbins uses this book to give anyone who reads it the confidence they need to just take some action! If any of you with imposter syndrome are looking for a way to shake that feeling, this book might help A TON.
How do you evict/get new tenants when you buy a new property?
Handling tenants is always a topic of conversation, and of course it’s different for every situation, but I can tell you what I usually do!
At my properties, I will more than likely wait until the tenant's lease is up, at which point I will either raise rents or not renew their lease to do remodeling on their unit. I do this so I can eventually do the BRRRR method after renting units out for more.
There are times when I do have to evict people, but those cases are extreme and are caused by major issues. In these cases, it’s SUPER important you understand your state's landlord housing laws AND specifics like eviction times and processes for your county.
Again, this totally depends on your location, numbers, and overall situation, so if you need help, shoot me an email and I’d be happy to help!
If you know me, you know I love my bath time. It’s seriously the only time throughout the ENTIRE day where I can actually get alone time (although the kids sometimes still find a way to bother me)!
I love to read my books, or listen to a podcast, and one thing I LOVE to do on top of that is have a nice bath bomb to go with it. There is something about the fizzling and aromas that instantly calm me down and make my alone time even that much better.
On top of that, some have really great properties and materials that are great for your skin and body. My absolute FAVORITE brand is from this company called Life Around 2 Angels, they make the most amazing bath bombs and they aren’t too expensive.
Understanding Balance
I’ll tell you, there was a point in my life when I tried knitting for fun and let’s just say, that didn’t work out. The reason why I tried it was because I thought I needed a hobby and “fun” in my life. You’ve heard me talk about balancing your life, and having fun and hobbies is part of that, but what’s interesting is that there can be overlap in your life.
For example, even though my “Fun” section of my life is lower compared to others, real estate is my hobby and brings me A TON of fun. It took me a little bit to realize that, but when I did, it made it easier to understand balancing my life.
Do you have anything in your life that you think needs balance but in reality you are already fulfilled in it?
Your BFF,
