So, I am perfectly aware of how difficult is may be to read an advice article from a guy dressed like a pirate. But hey…it’s Halloween and this is pretty scary stuff. Make mistakes like these and you could be dressing like this for kids parties just to make a living! And no, that is [...]

For the past few years, I have been on a mission to shape a narrative for real estate investors that at best, is not understood by the main stream media and at worst is completely ignored. I place a lot of the blame for the lack of coverage of this particular narrative on real estate [...]
