Well, I’m learning Spanish. I picked up the bilingual local newspaper today and have been listening to a Latino station on the radio. So far, I’d say I’m understanding about 15% of what I hear or read. I get the gist of it, but that’s all. I thought a good Southwestern lunch might help the [...]

One of my favorite quotes is by Albert Einstein. He said, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” It’s been going through my head a lot lately. I’m getting ready to start another business. I can’t give you details right now, but I will soon.
I flash back sometimes to the [...]

By now, we all know about the national drop in home sales. They fell 4.1% in July, which is slowly leading to a drop in home prices. If you need a refresher course, check out this USA Today article. But, how does Tulsa fare? I started to worry, so I stayed glued to the local [...]

I’m a sucker for historic places and great architecture. So, when Michael found this site, he knew it was for me. Check it out:

I loved the castle in Prague. It’s really a great price for what you get. Also, if you bought it, you’d inherit the title of Baron! Or, in my case, Baroness. [...]

Well, I recently had our business buy a vehicle for us. Michael’s car breaks down every other week or so. But, it is 8 years old. My car is no good for business or anything but driving for fun. Here’s my car:
It suits me, don’t you think? But, I have to say, when I’m driving [...]

I’ve had to turn down–let’s see–FIVE people who have offered 70-75% of the value of our houses. I did counter-offer, but none of them wrote back. I can kind of see how they’ve come up with that number, being that three of our houses are empty. They’re looking only at cashflow. I can’t blame them, [...]

I’ve found three serious potential buyers for our houses. One, from San Diego, is only interested in purchasing a few. Splitting the houses up into multiple sales isn’t my preference, but I don’t hate the idea. I really liked this buyer on a personal level (not that I’ll make a decision based on that), because [...]

I’ve thrown together a bunch of facts and pictures and am in the process of slapping together a website. It’s not up yet, but in a few hours, you should see something at TulsaREI.com. I’ve got a call scheduled with a potential buyer tonight, and wanted to have something up for her to see.
Later on–if [...]

I’ve wanted to be discreet while I’m working on trying to sell our houses. I have them listed on richdad.com currently. I’m offering them for 90% of their values. As a result, I’ve received a few emails from interested parties. I think one will actually buy a few of our houses–I hope.
I’ve registered the domain [...]
