When I wrote The Unfallen, I studied a listserv list of lady romance writers. They were astoundingly mercenary, by my literary standards, but they were fun to read — and they were profoundly interested in making money.
One of their traditions was the “Yahoo!” — an announcement to the group of a personal triumph.
In that light: Yahoo! I put two contracts into escrow this weekend — and it is frolicking difficult to put a house under contract in Phoenix right now.
All I’m doing is skinning cats. Takes longer than it ever has before, and it pays less. But I’m nailing them up to the wall — and Yahooing when I have time.
Gloat in your own behalf. This is your year. I challenge you to prove me right.

Good on you Greg!
I’ve had one retail closing and 6 foreclosure closings this year so far.
This is starting out to be a very solid year!
I agree we are working longer hours to get deals through to closing. So many challenges keeping transactions together.

No gloating here. I keep my cat skins in the basement, but CONGRATS on a nice weekend of hunting and draggin it home!
