All systems "go"

I have a realtor. For realio trulio this time. When he comes back next week to look at the other units, he'll bring a representation contract for us to sign. I told him my context and rough game plan and he suggested a few tweaks and rearranged some of the to-dos. I listed my financial resources and goals and he opined that my "would make me very happy" ending balance not only was eminently doable but was probably not ambitious enough. His advice and projections were realistic and appropriately sprinkled with caveats. I think we'll deal well together. So now I ramp up the prep work and set the various "start of clock" items in motion. More details after I talk to the tenants.

Amusingly enough, after the e-mail correspondence with "Robin" I had it fixed in my head that the realtor was a woman. Wrong. And it isn't like I haven't known male Robins before.
