When It Rains...It Pours or Look at The Bright Side

My van that hubby has been using for work (see post from June for specifics) overheated for the umpteenth (sp?) time and he couldn't get to work yesterday. It is now being worked on at the car shop. So far it is going to cost us $400+ and had to get a rental. Good times as Steph likes to say:)

Wholesaling has been on the back burner for the past couple of weeks. I keep looking at the MLS and there's nothing to write home about. I can't do much looking at properties because I still have no car. My realtor got married last Friday and won't be back in town until next week sometime and I don't want to go to look at properties with any other agent. I'll just wait till she comes back.

So far I am trying many different things to bring money into the house and to get REI off the ground: Mary Kay, putting an application to work the nightshift at Shoprite, surveys, mystery shopping- you name it, I've tried it. I would love to get Steve Cooks' Wholesaling for Quick Cash. I've heard so many good things about it. I would also love to get a membership to my local REI club. I went to a meeting and it was cool. The first one you go to is free after that it is $25/month or $125 for a year. Need money for both the book and the club fee. Working the above to try to make that happen. Or one deal that I assign would kill four birds with one stone: get us a good used car for hubby , pay for repairs on my van, steve's book and DIG membership. Pray for me!

Not Giving Up Yet

The "motivated" sellers countered back again. Originally, they said they wouldn't accept less than 160k. Now my new offer (read Monday's post) was countered with their new "firm" offer of no less than 150k. So far they have come down another 29k from their listed price. I'm willing to wait.

Should I Try Again?/ Mary Kay comes calling

Hola!
The "motivated" seller listing is still listed...FOR THE SAME PRICE!!! I looked at it on the 4th...of July! Go figure. I am going to put in an offer for 85K now and if they don't accept it, I'll wait another 30 days and put in another offer for 5k off of that. We'll see how it goes.

As you can see from the title I am now selling Mary Kay. A friend from church starting selling it and I asked her about it. I'm not into the recruiting thing but the products are good. I'm going in with my eyes wide open. If I make some money that will be fine with me.

We need a good, used car for hubby to get to and from work so I can have my van back and start going like gangbusters looking at properties. Keep praying for me okay? Thanks!

PS- The MLS property I saw in September (read last post) was already under contract but the listing agent didn't take it off the MLS yet. Figures!
