Over the weekend, I took my family to the DuPage Children’s Museum and met Jon, a local real estate investor who was there with his family too. He said he was just starting a career in real estate investing and needed a little help learning the ropes. He didn’t yet have a network he could […]
As a young, impressionable lad in my late twenties, I had a lot to learn about business. Most of that education would result from experience. My mom worked in a customer service role in a small, family-owned lumber yard and my dad delivered mail. My parents were as far removed from business owners as a […]
I’m probably like every other East Coaster who immediately associates the Bronx with the New York Yankees. You may beg to differ if you’re a soccer fan who doesn’t give a hoot about baseball and reside in Pendlebury, England, a few towns away from Manchester, the home of the highest-grossing sports franchise in the world.

My wife’s best friend, Tracy, recently said she was quitting her corporate job to become a real estate investor. Tracy had been talking about it for years and finally felt she was ready to leave the security of her regular paycheck behind. But, before she took the leap, she wanted some advice on whether buying […]
When I first started investing in New York real estate years ago, everything I tried to accomplish, from marketing to distressed homeowners to correctly evaluating potential deals, seemed to take longer than it should. Eventually, I wised up and decided I needed to find more experienced investors who were willing to help reduce my learning […]
Judy came up to me one evening after I gave a small talk at a local real estate investing club. She said that while helping her daughter shop for a house in Avondale, she’d noticed quite a few “ugly” homes there and in nearby Roscoe Village. This got Judy thinking. She was sure there must […]
My kids are always using social media for something. They use it to interact with friends, to plan their weekends, and to get updates on their favorite musicians, actors, and comedians. They even use it, with their teachers’ blessings, to research school assignments from time-to-time. So, it was really no surprise when my oldest asked […]
A new investor contacted me after I gave a series of talks at a couple of real estate investing clubs here in Illinois to get my opinion on buying properties from the Judicial Sales Corporation in Cook County. He said he was just starting out and felt overwhelmed by the recommendations he’d received from other […]
One of my first real estate investment houses in Albany was broken into. The rehab had barely begun, so I wasn’t terribly concerned about anything of value being stolen. But, as it turns out, I should have been. I was originally just going to do a minor kitchen renovation on the investment property because the […]
As a long-time real estate investor, I’m not crazy about the term “house flipping,” but I get it. It’s part of the vernacular used by many investors, new and seasoned alike, to refer to buying, renovating, and selling houses for profit. Reality television has further popularized the term with a slew of real estate-related shows […]
