Congratulations, Philadelphia Eagles!

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

I wonder if Rush Limbaughwill comment on Donovan McNabb’s performance during tomorrow’s show.

The Eagles’ performance today shows that when the chips are down, the only thing that matters is execution.

Raise your credit score.

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Here is a great article from www.realestateabc.com discussing how to clean up your credit.  It is a little out of date as the how-to guides from The Flip Board are more “real world” and current. But it is a great article never the less.  Please comment on whether or not this has helped your own credit score. Read the rest of this entry »

Wanna win at Real Estate? Play Monopoly!

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

I’m a big Monopoly fan and I recently saw a sweet website that talked about something I have always wondered about: how to figure out how long it takes to return your investment in the various properties, houses and hotel purchases. I think that this is really the key to developing a winning strategy for Monopoly.  Without this knowledge, how do you know whether to focus on putting hotels on Boardwalk or buying up all of the Railroads? Just like in life, you cannot do everything or be a specialist in everything. The key to winning is making the right purchases and decisions at the appropriate stages of the game.

Ok! Ok! We’ll bring it back.

Friday, January 9th, 2009

Folks -

Due to the massive influx of email, (Well, we got 177. I guess that is massive.) we will be bringing back the Wall Street Journal feed for Flip Board readers. These feeds are exclusive for this blog and are reprints of real estate articles from the actual WSJ publication. The only other way to get these items would be to subscribe to their website and/or newspaper.

These articles were discontinued because we felt it was too much duplicate content from their publications and our website. But because you asked for it, we are bringing it back at no cost to you.

You’re welcome!

Beat the streets to get rich

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Have you ever noticed how real estate looks a little different in pics within listings than in real life?

Recently, I went to go look at a property that was almost too good to be true. Not only was it almost too good, it was a whole lot worse!  The listing was for a small tenth-acre plot of land that had paved frontage and could be seen from the highway.  The first thing that popped into my head was, “billboard” or “advertising” to monetize the land and turn it into a cash flowing property.  What really got me going was the extremely low asking price – $3800.
