The Labour Party (if they win the election on Thursday 4th July) appears to be considering revising the school curriculum and one thing I would like them to consider is basic legal education in schools.

Therefore, our education system should help people understand the legal system and prepare them for life. for example: The…

Her husband had some nasty financial problems with unpaid loans going back years. The caller announced that they were going to foreclose on her husband's house. The mysterious caller gave the woman a case number and a phone number to call for more information. The husband insisted he never took out a loan. Luckily, the woman was smart; she called the county recorder's office and was told there was no record of their property. It's all a scam,…

In March, the state Legislature approved a bill that would make…
What will real estate trends be like going into the summer season? While there may be an extended pause in activity along the way, the real estate market has seen continued low inventory and buyer interest for quite some time. The effects of this ongoing trend are currently being seen in random pricing (stable, moderate increases, price drops at the time of offer, etc.). This mixed outcome highlights the fluidity of the world today. The watchword of our times is “uncertainty.” As a result, buyer behavior is in a stop-and-start pattern, but one that remains consistent. Since 2016, most buyers…
When I tell people I'm a real estate investor or I work for a real estate investment company, one of the first questions I get asked is, “Do you flip houses?” Although this question gets a little annoying after a while, it's understandable why people ask it: Most people get their real estate investing knowledge from what they see on TV, and property flipping shows are everywhere. So when I tell people what I actually invest, I'm often met with a blank look as they try to fit what I do into the “real estate investing” paradigm. In my opinion,…
