A Return to Blogging

 Well, I'm very embarrassed   to admit that I've neglected blogging since September! But I looked at my most recent submission and sure enough, it was about Indianhead buying Blackjack and Powderhorn. Anyone in the local area knows that Indianhead backed away from the deal when a lawsuit was started by several prospective Powderhorn purchasers who evidently had an agreement in place before the Indianhead proposal came along. There haven't been any new articles in the paper about the sale lately, but I'll post more as I learn more.

On a personal note, I purchased a rental home in Ramsay (in October) with my IRA funds and I will post a separate blog in the next week or so explaining that whole process. I bought the house, did a major addition to it and started renting it out right before Christmas. It was quite the project and as I said, I'll fill you in more soon. 

I also acted as a "foster mom" to a shelter dog and her 5 puppies this fall! In between running around with the rental home project, I cared for this "family" for 8 weeks and fell in love with all the puppies. Fortunately for me, my 14 yr old terrier, Gus, decided he wanted nothing to do with any puppies and so after being tempted to keep one of them, I let them all be adopted!

Business-wise, I referred a number of people to some of the other agents at Snow Country during those couple of super busy months. So it's only been since Christmas that I've gotten back into the full swing of real estate and the year has started out with a blast! Between showing commercial properties, searching for foreclosure properties for an out-of-area buyer, trying to find someone a decent home with a contract for deed possibility, getting sudden interest in a bar/restaurant I have listed and preparing contracts, photos and marketing for two new listings, I have definitely plunged right back into the business!
