Back from vacation
July 21st, 2008 by KenricAfter spending a week in 75-80 degree weather, I’m back in the heat in Phoenix. So what’s new?
SLC Townhomes
The new tenants of SLC Townhome #2 moved in and found out that the AC unit was not working. My PM had someone go take a look at it. I assumed that it’s fixed and I haven’t received the bill yet.
Apartments
Got the monthly report for the Houston Apartments. My last update was in late April and the rental income of Houston Apartment #1 had dropped to $62,000/mo. In the month of June, management was able to raise it to over $68,000. This is its highest yet.
We have had Houston Apartment #2 for one month. So far its occupancy was 93% for June. Although the report did not include our first mortgage payment by my approximate calculations it should cashflow around $84,000 a month.
Ebiz1
I have to get off my butt and get another one up and running. It has almost been a year since I started Ebiz1. Ebiz1 officially went live in October but it was in August when I started putting the pieces together. Time flies!
I’ve finally spent some money on some offline marketing. I had 50 t-shirts made and will be sending them out to customers who place large orders.
Ebiz2
The big question is still “what do I sell?” I have an empty storefront, all I need to do is stock it with something…

Stumble it!
Im new to your blog, As I was reading a few of your posts I came across this one and wondered what EBIZ1 is all about.

Ebiz1 is a small online e-commerce store that I opened up last year.

Any thoughts on how to find a reputable drop-shipper? I assume that’s how you’re doing it…
thx,

All I can say is to do a google search, but avoid the ones that come up in the first 5 pages because they are usually the big ones that do seo and that charge to join. To me a real dropship company doesn’t need memberships. Plus you need to find the ones that less people use anyway.

I’ve delt with drop ship companies in the past. What a head ache. I used to sell electronics this way. Problems I had include products not getting to the customers for weeks, finding out the products I’ve sold are currently out of stock or discontinued even though it wasnt ever brought to my attention. I ended up just finally getting my business license and working with local wholesalers. Doing this resulted in much more profit and much more control.
