So how do you stop a nationwide Housing Crisis based upon buyers being unable to afford the house.  How about providing incentives to people who can not afford to buy a house, to actually buy a house?  Sound pretty stupid, well it is the latest move of the Feds. those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it....and deserve to fail as a result so to fix the housing crisis, that was brought about by the push of the federal government to increase home ownership, the federal government has decided to 'aid people who can not afford home ownership' and convince them that with this government program they actually can afford the property EPIC FAIL   08/06/2010

Lowry Park Zoo:  What is there to do in the Greater Tampa area of Florida Well as you can see in the first file (click to make fullscreen) Lowry Park Zoo offers a lot of family fun.  If that is not good enough, you can scroll down to the second graphic where you will find a coupon for 1 free child.  1 child per coupon, but it requires a purchase of an adult ticket per free child. Still a savings of $15.95 There is a coupon code which may be used to generate a coupon off the Lowry Park Zoo website, or you can try printing what I have scanned, but I can not guarantee it will be accepted.  Promotion may be widespread, but this particular coupon is for Fantastic Sam's.

How do I know if I am buying a house near a Sexual Predator?.   Well there are a few sites you can use for that.  Since I last checked it, The FBI site appears to have become a portal to the states sites.         I like Florida Department of Law Enforcements site for searching my area.   But since this question is not locally orientated I included The FBI site as well.     There are also 2 other sites you can search.  The National Alert Registry & The U.S. Department of Justice may be sites you prefer to use.  Due to liability concerns I do not provide the search results to my customers, but encourage all buyers to put at least One of these sites in your Favorites/Bookmarks   08/03/2010

I promised that I would report my progress on AR daily. While it was a Saturday and I was busy with family and business...I just had to take a few minutes at the end of this busy day and share what I feel this journey has done for me. I think if nothing else it set my mind on a path... a positive path. For many reasons one can fall into a rut. I still know of no other business where the potential to make money is so great. You can keep a large inventory without investing the cost of purchasing that inventory. There is a cost to maintain it, but that really is minimal considering the margin for profit. When I sat down and analyzed where I wanted to go in my career in this market I knew that I loved Real Estate and have loved it all my life. I also realized that once I focused on that dee... 07/24/2010

Timber Greens in New Port Richey. We were enjoying our back patio on a twilight evening a week or so ago. It was quiet, except for the woodpeckers laughing, peepers peeping, cardinals cheeping, hawks screeching, hummingbirds zooming by but you get the picture. As it became darker, it became quieter (but not much). The squirrel came out to see if we were diligently guarding the bird feeder. He peeked around the tree and I was waiting to capture him on film. I didn't realize how dark it was getting but I think it turned out well anyway. The chain on his left is the one holding the birdfeeder. After he ran back up the tree, I was lucky enough to catch a cardinal in silhouette,   Posts you may have missed.
