BHAG UPDATE - Oct '14

This month was pretty abysmal for my BHAG since I was only able to save 52% of my take home pay.  Expenses were a little abnormally high because of some medical expenses, but the real culprit, once again, was because of my condo that has yet to find a renter.  It's the worst one for this to happen to since it has a mortgage and also brings in the most rent per rental. It's amazing how rentals have changed in that market in the past 7 months.  Another high rise in that area went up last November and it's causing me angst.  I need to find somebody at any price soon or else it needs to sell.  It's never really been a good rental and it was never meant to be, since I bought it in order to eventually live there.  Life happens and now I'm trying like hell to get somebody in there.

Oh to have both of my mortgages paid off.  What a wonderful life it would be! In addition to this I also have property tax do in November.  Technically I have until March to pay it, but with a 1% penalty each month it definitely makes sense to pay it asap.  It's going to be a big drain on cash flow and also my net worth, but thankfully it only comes around once a year.
