I’M SO TIRED OF HEARING HOW WONDERFUL DETROIT PROPERTY IS! SERIOUSLY. With all the misinformation circulating regarding Turn Key rental houses in the Detroit, I decided I had to act to set the record straight. Because there’s a lot of crap being slung around. And I’m tired of seeing it. I’m tired of hearing it. And I’m tired of getting asked about it. I mean, I’ve been buying suburban rental properties in Metro Detroit now…

I'm pleased to report that after multiple decades of hard-headed stubbornness, I've finally figured out that all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. So I've taken it upon myself to convert my wife and now adult(ish) kids into a roving band of merry adventurers.
From horseback riding in Monument Valley to ocean kayaking in Acadia - all of our exploits have earned the coveted "epic" label from the younguns.
I'll tell you about them - and also about the other "adventures" I'm having in my real estate investing business.

Because as soon as people saw how consistently worthless the forecasts are, and how…
“Embrace Failure” Is Psycho-babble Bulls**t
“Embrace Failure” That was the subject line of an email that I received yesterday. Seriously. I don’t think I’ve heard anything more stupid in my entire life. Embrace failure. Really? It’s like all the people that never got picked for kickball in the third grade are either running the show or in positions of influence. It’s no wonder we’re morphing into a society that wants to be taken care of instead of being masters of…
Multi-Family Economic Forecasts: Smoking Crack or Inside Track?
The real estate investment services firm Marcus and Millichap came out with an interesting statement last week. The headline that their chief forecaster, Hessam Nadji, used was “Recovery Threatened, But This Is Not 2008â€. And he finished his overall summary by writing “The downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating by S&P has sent global stock markets into a frenzy, posing a threat to the already fragile U.S. economic recovery. However, there are stark differences…
