I am the flaming poodle.
Hoops. All I see are hoops. Jump. Jump. Jump.
I gotta run. Too much to do lately. With a little luck, I should be signing the closing papers on both houses today. I'm becoming a real estate investor. A flipper! I feel so grown up.
For those of you who have never been through this process, let me assure you, it sucks. I have a stack of papers three inches thick, and I haven't even signed the closing documents on either property yet. I swear, it takes more trees to buy a house than it does to build one. And it's just like the mob, with every step of the process, somebody gets a taste.
But if it saves me $10K a year in taxes, I'm willing to jump through those hoops. Regardless, I have to run. And jump. And jump again.
Off to become a slum lord...

We're closing on our house next week, and I feel your pain. We're going to have to buy a new filing cabinet just for the mortgage, inspection, and other papers that are currently lying scattered all over our apartment.
Good luck with the houses!

Imagine my disappointment when I realized this post was going to be about basketball.
