While it may not look like much today, there’s been a lot done.
We took possession of this Duplex at 2728-2730 El Caprice, Rancho Cordova on February 27th.
To date, we’ve got the hardwood floors installed in all the high traffic areas, the tile floors in the entry and all the bathrooms, holes in the ceilings and walls repaired and installed the new base boards.
We’ve taped and textured, installed the new sliders to the back yards and have started the interior painting.
In addition, we’ve laid some concrete down to enhance the size of the patios and we’ve squared off the exterior areas as you’ll see in the video. We will be doing some nice things in the landscaping department which is something a lot of investors overlook in my opinion.
To See Where We Started From, CLICK HERE for the beginning video and the 1st update that was done I think on the 1st of March.
In the mean time…?

While it’s that time of year again… maybe besides “re-setting” the clocks forward all over the house you should also think about checking the Batteries in your Smoke Detector.
You just never know when something awful and unexpected can happen so do yourself and your family a favor… While you are changing and re-setting the clocks around the house, at least “test” your smoke detectors… OK….?
In the mean time…?
Make it a great day…!
The Area is so bad, if you have a “non-paying” tenant it’s probably better to keep them there occupying it, then to let it go vacant for a time.
Why would I say something as crazy as that? The reason is because it’s true in this particular part of Sacramento.
A Bay Area investor asked us to manage a home on San Jose Way in the Oak Park area. We took over last September. The owner had previously put in a tenant that subsequently moved out leaving the property vacant.
It didn’t take long for the vandals and thieves to start picking away at this place.
While we were working on getting it re-painted and fixed up, some nice folks next door thought they’d just “plug in” to our exterior outlet and have a long chord from our property to their pad. After finding this occurring a 3rd time, I got fed up and called the Sacramento Police Dept. They did come out although at first the 911 guy didn’t think this was a big deal. Well when they showed up, they wound up arresting several people including the owner from what one of the cops told me.
After getting them all out of that house, the property was posted and boarded up and has been since last October. The house across the street was in foreclosure and that was boarded up along with a house on the opposite corner.
Here’s the nice video for you to see…
What does the City of Sacramento do to help…? NOTHING…! They fee and fine the owner’s for maintaining a nuisance. They charge a “monitoring” fee to make sure you are keeping it clean. It doesn’t matter how much it costs the owner to get it fixed or how many times the property is broken into and things stolen like copper wiring or air conditioning units.
My point…?
HOW ABOUT SOME STINKING POLICE MONITORING of the area instead of just “sticking it” to the folks that have invested in this area.
Anyway….
Make it a Great Day…!

We will follow the progress of an Investor with “videos” starting from the day they 1st take possession until they finish and place it back on the market. A “video chronology” if you will.
We just closed escrow on a Duplex located at 2728-30 El Caprice, Rancho Cordova on Monday, Feb. 27, 2012.
The folks that bought this property plan on fixing it up, possibly renting the units up and then placing back on the market for a profit.
To follow our progress, we invite you to come back here from time to time and get our video updates.
So here we start with the first Video… the day we walked through on Monday the 27 after the close of escrow.
Now you’ll see some progress on the 2nd video that was taken today, March 1st, around 11:00 this morning. I plan on visiting this property at least 2 or 3 times a week until it’s completed and then placed back on the market.
I hope you find this useful, informative and hopefully kind of fun to watch.
In the Mean Time…?
Make it a Great Day..1
