July 2020

So June happened.  I promise it did.  It just flew by and I didn't stay on top of things. 

We didn't make a lot of progress for our debt.  The new photography business is booking along.  A new mentor has been hired to deal with marketing and specifically growing the photography business.  

I started with the mindset mentor that T had been using.  So our savings has gone in the crapper.  I'm also still working with cut hours/pay at the W-2 job, but that should be changing in August.

In good news, the note business (Magpie) is picking up nicely.  I've done 2 joint ventures, one in the 401k on a 50/50 split on a performing lease option, and the other a non-performing in Baltimore with a capital partner.  I'm very excited.  I've also spoken to 3 other people about doing capital JVs.  The mindset mentor should also help get me out of my comfort zone and ask people for money.  I have a good personal network, so we'll see what happens.

For the debt, we just paid the minimums for the past 2 months.  Savings has also been decreasing with the purchase of the mentoring for both T and myself.  We should start building things back up this month as I have 3 paychecks.

Also....CHICKENS!
Meet our newest family members.  They are about 4-5 weeks old at this point and mostly done with their gangly, teenage look.  The big summer project is building them a coop.  They've been pretty entertaining.

Stay safe and healthy!
