Wrote a few articles on the topic of Condominium Owner Advocacy- investigating distribution / publishing channels- posted top Active Rain, Article Base, my own blog.. etc. It will be read, for certain. Hoping to get a frightened reader base so that the message will have greater impact.
Met with David Gurvey, who told me the management contract for 1010 Wilkes has gone to a company called Landmark. Pretty happy to see that the Cash Cow is no longer in Brydges' portfolio. I'm sure it was subsidizing many of their unprofitable contracts. David is really, really fun to talk with.
Worked on taxes. Almost there.
Prepared graphics for S2C project.
Investigated Management companies for my portfolio.

And now for today- it's 3 o'clock pm, finally got to my "Office." Went for a lunch meeting with Kevin Buckner, an enthusiastic and entrepreneurial young accountant who's just opened his own firm. I expect it will be a successful endeavor for him. He's good friends with Derek Banera, through whom I met Kevin. Talked a lot about a lot.
Had to go to Pritchard today: Dropped-off a ledger statement to unit 4, which is in arrears. Went to unit 3, because the Government decided not to pay rent anymore for that unit, but no one told me. She left a message for her worker while I was there, and I expect a callback in about 10 weeks. (sarcasm).
Went to Assiniboine Credit uniooon again to meet with the account manager, because I need a mortgage statement. Hilariously, they don't do annual statements of mortgages, and thus two schedules had to be printed: 1. the total amounts paid each month during the year, and 2. the amounts by which the outstanding principle decreased throughout the year. The Interest Expense (what I'm actually after, as it is tax deductible), is the difference between the two. Hope my math is still good.
Onward:
1. Sending e-mails to my management company short list
2. Finalizing some graphics and sending revisions to Sanjoy for s2c
3. Preparing new special promotion for CRDC, will send Sanjoy revisions and request to make a "Special Deals" section on website. Thinking of doing a special on single - family or multi-unit homes- provided with elevations and color schemes, I can probably do it for $600 per image.
4. Updating tenant ledgers
5. Updating financial statements
6. Getting MS community going. Must learn Wordpress better!
