An oldie but goodie – Here’s the first time Kitty PoP encountered an armadillo. He was fascinated! Okay, maybe “love” is a bit strong when it comes to something like public records, but public records have definitely played a role in in our investing to date, and I suspect they will continue to do [...] The eagle is swooping down, and you can see the splashes of the ducks absolutely freaking out in terror. Can you blame them? I know that Catherine over at Plunged In Debt saw my tweet the other morning about all the excitement on the lake behind our house. For everyone else, here’s the scoop. An [...] Well, it’s tax time for the PoPs. No, it hasn’t suddenly become mid-April, so don’t worry about not having your paperwork all ready for the IRS yet.

(click to tweet) Sunrise over the bay, sadly this is not our canal lot as lots with this view are about $1MM+, not $84K Anyhow, for those of you that have been living under a rock the past few years, the real estate market in the US has [...] What on Earth is a Comp? When your house is one of your biggest assets, it’s hard to know where you stand financially unless you have some idea of what it is worth. The main problem with that is that, with real estate, you can never really be sure of how much a home is [...] There seems to be a widespread myth out there that mortgage debt is one of the best types of debt you’ll run across in your lifetime. Who’s perpetuating this myth? Politicians, the media, and (of course) realtors and mortgage brokers. It’s pretty clear why some of these folks might want John Q. Public to buy [...] |
