Real Estate by Brendan O'Brien | January 6, 2009On Saturday, I posted some good habits for success in 2009. I probably should make editing my blog posts a habit as well. If I did, I wouldn’t create posts that run well over a thousand words and need to be broken into multiple parts. It’s never too early to start working! Good habits are [...]
Blogs by Richard Warren | January 5, 2009I was vaguely aware of the first-time homebuyer tax credit offered by the Government but never really paid much attention to it. I certainly wouldn’t be eligible for it since I have owned my home for a long time and have a number of investment properties as well. My real estate holdings are, for the [...]

Real Estate by Rob Powell | September 23, 2008Greetings from the metropolis of Cedar Crest, NM. Wow….It feels good to be back! It has been a long six weeks for me. You see, six weeks ago, I returned from Maui Mastermind and came down with the flu…then pneumonia. Not only was I stuck in bed but I was also hooked up to an [...]
Blogs by Richard Warren | September 8, 2008Imagine that you are on an African Safari. As you are working your way through the jungle in search of big game, suddenly you are confronted by a lion with a bad attitude. If you were armed like Rambo with a huge gun and lots of ammunition, you would probably come out of the encounter [...]
