To those who have chosen to visit this site and also read my blog, thank you. I am excited that a new customized site is about to appear in the next few weeks. I was hoping that it would be ready before I attend the ICG advanced seminar on march 1st, but like home construction you don't always finish when you want. I have a new web master who is a blogging and social networking crazy gut. He also understands Google's algorithms well. I also needed a platform to expand into commercial real estate. I am getting a CCIM designation this year, and I will be selling starting in April office condos, retail condos, mini-storage facilities, apartment buildings, and a group will be marketing 100 hotel sites with me throughout the United States. I have also been purchasing both commercial and residential real estate this year. I am closing next week on a class c strip center, both a retail condo and a residential condo in East Village in Norman, and a single family home in Mustang. With two partners we plan to buy a commercial office building in Louisiana for GO Zone benefits. After my residential experience in Baton Rouge with the purchases of two homes, I would NEVER buy there again, except I have found some areas where commercial is flying, and I can deal with Commercial realtors I can trust unlike my BR residential experience. This is a great time to be buying investment real estate although it requires more due diligence than in the last two years. I do plan to blog 10 to 20 times per month on the new site to share my experiences and insights. Please look for it in about two weeks at this same address.
