Happy Saturday everyone!

Do you know anyone who wants to buy their first home? This post is for them!

For some light weekend reading, I wanted to upload a Home Buying Infographic made by a friend, Samuel Ott, from STLRealEstateLLC.com. I like infographics because I’m a visual learner and they remind me of grade school (in a good way!)  If you know anyone who would be interested in this, feel free to share it!

Also, I have a project in the works that I’ll be talking more about in the coming weeks but Click to continue…

Hey everyone! As you may have noticed, I try to be as open and personal as possible on this website and don’t hold anything back in my blog posts, email correspondences, and consulting. As such, I want to talk about something almost completely unrelated to real estate : personal fitness.

I want to get in-shape.

I am not morbidly overweight, and some people (hi Mom and Dad…) say I’m too skinny. But it’s not about being fat now. It’s about getting into the best shape of my life and stopping the pattern that so many Americans fall into.

I don’t want to become just another fat, rich, old guy someday.

Rich would be okay. White… Can’t change that. Fat… no.

I’m changing right now.

So I’m going to do P90X for the next 90 days.

However, I’ve learned that there are Click to continue…

This article is part five in an ongoing case study happening in real-time. You can find part one here, part two (with photos) here, part three here, and part four here.   Oh, and the picture to the right is a preview of the new paint in the master bedroom at Marcy (and my lovely wife!)

I like wearing nice clothes, don’t you?

I’m not talking about a suit and tie (though, I do like looking like James Bond on occassion!)

I’m talking about being on the work site without wearing paint clothes, Carharts, and a toolbelt.

The past couple weeks I have been actively managing the flip of the home on Marcy Avenue, and while this is not my first rodeo – I continue to learn new things each and every time I flip a home. I like to think of this Marcy flip as my first 100% nice clothes flip. In other words, this is the flip about managing contractors.

In the past, I use to do all my own work. The first several homes I flipped my wife and I did 100% of the work ourselves. I don’t regret this, as I was able to pick up hundreds of new skills. However, doing a flip by myself was Click to continue…

“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”- Dr. Seuss

Several months ago I published a piece titled, “Seven Must Read Books for Real Estate Investors.” The post simply discussed, in my opinion, the best books for real estate investors and took just a few minutes to type up.  Surprisingly, this post has become one of the most popular on RealEstateInYourTwenties.com and by far the most searched term from Google. In fact, there is a good probability that you are here because of it!

However, after writing that post I realized there were so many other great real estate books out there, and limiting to just those seven was an injustice for all the other great books. So, today I want to share seven more must read books for Click to continue…
