It has now been two years since I began investing in real estate in 2006. I’ve now acquired 3 different properties totaling 9 units, and after pouring a few dollars exclusively into real estate, I sometimes wonder if I should consider other investment channels as well. I’ve considered investing in the stock market, starting a small business, or even acquiring […]
I can remember talking about money with my dad when I was a child. Sitting on the living room floor with my brother, my dad would layout all his spare change and say, “Boys, every weekend I’m going to give you my coins. You need to start saving for a rainy day.“ Then he required us to keep coin rolls under his bed until […]
If I had a nickel for each time I wanted to know how to become wealthy, I would probably be rich by now. In fact, there’s a multi-billion dollar industry dedicated to teaching people how to invest and get rich. But when it comes down to it, is the how really that important in the long run? Maybe […]
The nation’s real estate market continues to be haunted by foreclosure. This week’s RealtyTrac reported the following highlights: The foreclosure rate in America’s top 100 metro areas has hit 1.38 percent. Detroit registered the highest foreclosure rate of any of the 100 largest metro areas, with nearly 5 percent of all homes going into foreclosure. […]
It seems like yesterday that 2008 arrived, when each of us set our New Year’s Resolutions for the year. At the time, we promised ourselves that we would try really hard in 2008 to meet our goals. It’s now mid-February and the year is off to a fast start. And you ask youself, “Am I doing a good job of trying to reach my goals?” For many of […]
Here’s a posting that I found interesting from The Trump Blog located at www.trumpuniversity.com: If you’re smart, you’ve learned what not to say in a romantic relationship. You’d never tell a woman she looked fat in a dress or tell a man he was losing in his hair. But have you learned what not to […]
Today marks my first experience in working with a motivated homeowner. Although I’ve gotten good deals by using a real estate agent, I now see how better deals can be made by working with the owner directly. It all started two weeks ago when I began marketing to foreclosure owners and calling FSBO (For Sale By Owner) signs. Last week I sent approximately 15 postcards […]
March 2017 Flagstaff Winter Ascent
The last couple of years has flown by, and it has been low key in terms of hiking/climbing. Back in 2014 my wife and I thought it was best to move back to our hometown, St. Louis. We had been living in Phoenix, AZ for 3 years and figured maybe it was better to be […]
What It Means to Have Laser Beam Focus
I’ll never forget one of the funniest (but serious) managers I’ve had while working in sales at Sears. He used to say “focus like a laser beam” when he wanted us to understand something important. This manager was from a foreign country, which made his statements funny to hear him say, but he was a […]
