The Test

I am very excited!! I've been in Omaha for 3 weeks now, have my furniture, got a car, spent some time with my husband, and finally got to work. Now all this real estate talk of mine is going to be put to the test. I'll admit that until now, I haven't done much in Omaha. With all the packing, finding a place to live, unpacking, furnishing an apartment, finding a car, and everything else involved with a trans-pacific move I haven't had much of a mind or the energy to do much in the last month, besides drive around neighborhoods getting to know the different areas and taking all the flyers from homes for sale to check prices, etc. Today, the test finally began and I got to work.

Today my husband and I got a Nebraska number for the business. What's cool about it is that not only did we get to personalize it, but it's free, rings to my cell phone, and sends transcipts of all voicemails to my email. Where did I get such an awesome number? Google, of course. In case you haven't heard of it, which I didn't until 2 days ago, Google has another cool product calledGoogle Voice. Apparently it's been around for about a year and is only by invitation only. In order to speed up the invitation process for us (which can take hours, days, or weeks according to some people) we had a current Google Voice user send us an invite which allowed us to set up our new number immediately. Now Kenny Investing, also known as Kenny Buys can be reached at 402-957-BUYS.

What else did we get done today? I updated our website (which is still under progress) for several hours. Now the home page and question section is current enough to do it's job. I'd love feedback from anyone willing to give it. Keep in mind that I haven't updated the About Us or Contact Us sections (will hopefully get to that tomorrow), and am going to add a couple more pages. Head over to www.kennybuys.com to see what I've been up to.

Also on the slate was to acquire a P.O. Box. Check!! AND design and order car magnets and bandit signs. Check!!! All thanks to my wonderful husband.

I am so excited to really get started. We still have a lot to do, but hopefully within a week we'll have our first target area canvased with bandit signs, have ads in local papers and websites, and start getting all sorts of leads for the business. Wish Us Luck!!!
