Labor hard Jimmy....

You got $200 cash and someone's paycheck? And if you have their paycheck, what is the story? They signed it over to you (third party)?

Even though it was a signed, Bank of America paycheck, Bank of America wouldn't take it without the signers ID.
They would take a copy of his id though. Strange procedures.
At any rate, the guy met me at Sam's Town's main cage; cashed the check, and paid me $1,000 cash.
I also took a picture of his drivers license (which I should have done when I rented the place).
The tempting thing about this whole rental affair is, the tenant prefers paying us in cash.
Its tempting to run with the cash, and not declare the income. hmm.
But we'll play it on the square. We won't be paying any taxes on the rental anyway.
Know what else feels good?
Renting the condo for $900 a month. We were being steered into renting it for $750.
Shoot, the property management people wanted us to rent it for $750, and us pay 10% for them doing it.

Its right behind Carls Jr on Trop and Mtn Vista.
Some people came by to look at the condo.
They said they were renting a 1 bedroom at Camden, and they went up to $905.
They said the 2 bedrooms were $1,150.
WOW!!!
So, I guess the Camden methods are country wide!
They said their water bill was $20 a month too, with a $15 late penalty,
and that they'd have to pay $150 for the lease renewal.

Any news on the Tampa front with John Winn?

I was probably feeding them words then...when they were complaining about Camden. I should just listen.
They just said uh huh, uh huh...to everything I said. hmmm.

Doesn't surprise me. Rents going up at lease renewal time is nothing new. And Camden is just following industry standard procedure. If real estate trends were not upping the price of real estate in the Lost Wages area (it was remaining stagnent or it was going down), I wouldn't necessarily surprised if rents remained flatter. Question is: What was it before it went up to $905? If it was $885, would that be all that bad? Gee, I don't remember paying for water when I was in (what is now a Camden) property on Torrey Pines in SW end of town back in 1997 (MGM days). I'd be willing to bet that the $150 is a misunderstanding. I was told, with no uncertainy, that I would not have to pay any fees to renew the lease on this 2 bdrm, or on moving to the 1 bdrm. It is apparently a one time thing. At least, if you don't move out and want to come back.

Be quick notary or whatever...and we'll have all of our notary stuff next week.
Now, all we need is:
- A DBA checking account
- A Yellow Page ad (I can get online)
- Our stamps (from a stamp vendor), and also a log book.
- A Logo
- Optionally, somebody that will give us a tutorship as contractors (I have someone in mind already).
- A low mileage car to scoot us around in (that is fun to drive)
This is all just too easy...life is just too easy.

Call it "Squirty's Mobile Notary". Whoops, that doesn't do it for you? How about "Mike's Notary"? Still no.. Well, then go with a S-Corp as in "S" for Squirt. Great way to make business decisions, isn't it. 

Sounds good. Kinda like Jeffwee's "Pubelicks Market". Right? I'd still think doing it right, as some sort of corporation is best. That is, if any of this is going to lead Rebecky to have assests, but if so, then you gotta do corp. Take a little extra time now and do it right. How about your old CPA?

Thats hilarious....you know what I may do is just form a Sole Proprietorship in Becky's name.
Sole Proprietorships are so easy to do...except they don't protect your assets....and Becky has no assets.
Man, I gotta talk to a CPA though.
How about Be Quick Notary Pubic of Squirt!!!  or Be Quick Squirt

Well, Luke Skywalker's dad (Aniken) went to the dark side and didn't bump into things.

Using the Dark Side of the Force, I suppose is like bumping into things. Like being bad, and doing bad. Like being a criminal and bumping into the law. What we didn't see in any of the 6 Star Wars movies, was that Vader was consistently commiting these crimes, getting caught, convicted and sentemce to one 20 year sentence after another. All in a days time. So, did Jimmy buy a car? Go to Heavensville?
