Property shopping

I had a nice Sunday. Got to see one of my favorite clients this afternoon. He even brought me some home-made green chili stew. It was yummy! He is so fun, engaging and a joy to massage. I actually had him quiet for a few minutes. hehe A rarity for him, I know. He is bringing his wife for their 37th Anniversary toward the end of the month. I'm excited. I'm sure she is a special lady! I have the sweetest clients. This week I have been given a wonderful bottle of Carmenera wine from Chili, an artist made me some silver earrings and the client today brought me green chili stew. Thank you so much! Who needs to date when I have such sweet clients. Just kidding.

I have met some incredible people the last few months. They all want to see me succeed. I have been talking about my 2-year goal to either buy the property next door, or find a place so I can offer overnight lodging and have more meeting space. A mentor of mine called and insisted he show me a property for sale. It's not far from here. It is running already as a B&B with a wedding Chapel on-site, 4-bdrm, 6-baths, 7-fireplaces, mother-n-law quarters, 1-acre of land, salt swimming pool, stables for horses, and lots of beautiful outdoor space. It's a great price, but it does need a lot of work. I will need to find an angel investor. My estimate is that it would take one year from purchase to get it open. I would be able to do both. Still operate Your Private Adobe here while I coordinate projects at the new place and do a total renovation. Now all I need is the money. This is a much better price than here. I will need in the $700-$800k range (to include total renovation and start-up costs, depending on zoning and if I added on right away or waited. So I am sending out to the universe my dreams, wishes and desires. I'm planting the seed. I love the space here, but have known all along it will only be a short term venture. I'm amazed how far and how quickly I have already come with Your Private Adobe. After eight years of having this vision..............I'm here, but I still want more!
