Extra Income Goal

Things are coming along with my investment property. I had a mishap the other week with a broken toilet and a high water bill because of it, but those are the breaks. Literally. Haha. I won’t go into detail about all that happened. That’s for another time…

I need to start journaling about my experiences to write an ebook one day. When you’re in the thick of trying to finish things up it’s kind of hard to sit and write. I may record myself talking about my experiences and transcribing it later. We’ll see.

My plans are to have the house listed for rental by the end of the month. It should be ready if all goes well.

I closed on my first investment property last week. It’s a three bedroom, two bathroom brick ranch in the burbs. There’s a bonus room connected to the third bedroom so that’s a plus. And it has a finished basement.

I’m so glad to be done with the hunt and mortgage process. Now it’s on to the really hard work. Lol!

I’ve got a few things to do to get it ready to rent out including buying blinds for the windows, refinishing some door knobs and installing a couple light fixtures. I’m trying to decide if I’m going to replace the furnace now or wait. Decisions, decisions.

December is going to be  a busy month for sure!

Here’s my CashCrate check for October. Cha-Ching!

It’s been awhile since I’ve done some work on CashCrate, so I decided to do a few offers. I was on the cusp of meeting the $20 cash out threshold and I made it. I’ve got a check for $21.96 on the way. I still have a couple more dollars pending, but it’ll count toward my November earnings. I’ll post when my check arrives in the mail.

I posted about CashCrate in a previous post. For those not familiar with CashCrate, it’s a site where you can earn cash by signing up for offers and filling out surveys. It costs nothing to sign up and there are no fees to get paid.

If you’re interested in joining, I’d love it if you’d use my referral link.
