Year-End Event Last Week

 

I really enjoyed getting together with our intimate real estate investment family at our End of the Year Award event on December 6th in Mountain View. I joked about being a very lovable person, but it isn’t a joke any more. I truly felt loved that evening, with all the wonderful questions, some of them challenging, people wanting to meet with me and tons of warm feedback from all the attendants.

 

Two of our investors shared their personal stories and few of their investments. I am grateful to Thomas and Bobby for presenting their real life investments and answering all the questions with full honesty.

With demand going up; prices will, and are following as we can see in many markets around the country.

 

How is this situation affecting you?

 

If you are trying to decide whether to invest or not, maybe you should stop thinking and start doing. Properties in many markets are not getting cheaper.  Read More
