Building on the article I wrote on Friday I'd like to talk about an article I read over at CNN Money that discusses homeowner's who are in denial.  
Harris Interactive conducted a survey for Zillow.com of homeowners.  The poll was to see if homeowners believed their property value had declined in value.   The survey of […]

    Much has been written about how ARM's and the decline in value of property has caused the foreclosure mess we are in.  There is one aspect of the loosened lending standards which had gradually made its appearance that, I believe, has a much stronger impact on the current market than any other.  This one […]

    I can't help but thinking that everyone wants to claim victim here.  Sure, these people are in a bad spot, but a victim?  I don't think so.  These people who are renters have not lost their jobs, have not fallen on hard times.  they simly have to move.  Agreed, it is a hassle, and […]

    Sorry for the lack of postings lately.  I haven't abandoned the blog, I've just been traveling.  Alot.  There hasn't been a week in the last 4 that I haven't been on the road.  My easiest week happens to be this week where I am only traveling for one day.  It will be a long […]

    Well, I've gotten some additional information about the companies that are doing business.  While it seems like one heck of a coincidence, It appears that there is an  Ann Tate doing business in Toledo as RidgeCrest Ventures who purchases homes for sale in full cash deals.  Additionally there is an Ann Tate doing business […]

    Friday I received the rent payment for Condo #1.  I mentioned in my post last week that this was the first payment where the rental increase was due.  I received the full rent plus the late charge.   We'll see if September's rent comes in on time.  Hopefully the payments will now roll through […]

    Last night the family and i went to see Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz.  The family and I like to go see at least one show per year.  This can be a musical, ballet, etc.  This year's show tickets were a birthday present to my better half.  I'll admit to […]

Life: 
    Sorry I've been away for so long.  My full time career has been getting in the way of my blogging.  We're up for another re-compete of many positions we have filled around the United States and I've been working on seeing how they are going and writing proposals as needed.  I pulled an all-niter […]
