I love this time of the year. The morning air is cool and crisp and the leaves are starting to turn. It's almost Friday and it is time for a quick update on some of the previous posts.

It's Good to Have One of These: My good friend lost her keys and her car was stolen. Luckily, her car has been recovered without any damage. She still does not have her keys so she will need a new set and the vehicle will need to be recoded. I was able to loan her money from my emergency fund to help out.

Waiting is the Hardest Part: I found an investment property and put in an offer on October 22nd. I am still waiting to hear if the offer was accepted. Apparently, the bank asset manager that handles foreclosure properties is pretty swamped. My realtor says he is pretty sure the offer will get accepted.

I am finishing up my net worth report for October and should have it posted the evening. Stay tuned for the results.

It's finally Friday and I made it through another week. My stress level has been extremely high this week due to a few things going on at my job. For some reason, my workload has been alot higher than a few of my coworkers lately. I think alot of it is because I do not "moan and groan" like some of my other coworkers when my workload increases. I just come in early or stay late but I do what I have to do to get it done. I guess the old saying is true "The squeeky wheel gets the grease". I am trying to stay calm and be the "model" employee but this crap is getting old. Anyone else have this situation? How did you deal with it?

A couple of my friends and I have planned a trip to Harrah's Cherokee casino in North Carolina this weekend so that should definitely help me relax. I am pulling $300 from my Freedom Account to pay for the trip expenses. All the credit cards are staying home! I'll let you know if I won enough money to quit my job or if I will need to keep working.

I am still waiting to hear back regarding my investment property offer. I talked with my realtor yesterday and he advised the seller has accepted the offer but we are still waiting on the bank asset manager to approve the offer. I would really like to hear something today and not worry about this over the weekend.

Hello Everyone.
I apologize for the lack of posting this week but I've had a really busy week at work. I've also been searching for an additional investment property since I was outbid on the last property.
I'm actually getting ready to go look at 2 more properties today. One is a short sale and the other is a foreclosure.

It is almost Friday and SingleGuyMoney is very happy about that. This has been one of my busiest weeks this year with work and trying to find an investment property. Unfortunately, I was outbid on the cute little bungalow. My last offer was $31k but I guess someone else wanted it a little more than I did and bid higher. I am not upset about losing the property as there are plenty more to choose from. I just sent my realtor 3 more properties to review. I'll post more about those properties later if they turn out to be possibilities.

Just a quick update to let you know what is going on here at SingleGuyMoney.

• Still waiting on a response from the bank that owns the property I am interested in purchasing for an investment. I put in an offer of $28k and $1500 closing costs. My realtor called me yesterday and advised he received a response from the bank. They have multiple offers submitted and wanted to know if I wanted to increase my offer. I increased the offer to $32k plus $1500 closing costs. I will not offer higher than $34k because there are alot more properties out there for less than $30k.
• Applied for the Amex Gold card this morning. They have a promotion now where they are offering $250 or 25,000 rewards points. The card does have an annual fee so I will cancel in a few months. The offer ends today so if you want to apply, be sure to do so today.
