OK, I wasn’t planning on another blog post today.  Frankly I don’t have time for it.
But I just ran across something that literally moved me to tears — a short video about an 8 year old kid named Adam.
Adam plays one of the toughest positions on the little league field…and he does it with only [...]

Happy Labor Day!
So here we are with the family ramping up for an afternoon of flipping houses steaks on the back porch.
But before I head that way, I thought I’d pass along a bit of industry wit to anyone who might be in front of their computer today.
Disclaimer: These were passed along to me.  As [...]

Sorry the tips have been slow this week.  Busy, busy, busy.

Apparently the video was shot on a lark in Will Ferrell’s guesthouse during a break in the third birthday party for his son Magnus.
So just in [...]

It was sheer power.
In fact, I would submit that this may very well be one of the most powerful, most important videos You Tube today. At least that’s my opinion — that’s how strongly I feel about it.
The very last [...]

If so, then I’d like to showcase it here at REI Tips.

Admittedly this has absolutely nothing to do with real estate investing. I tried in vain to come up with some kind of cool REI-esque lesson to tie in. Nada.
But in the end, what more do you really need to say?…

I guess the lesson is, if you ever remark aloud to your family that [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Steve Cook and I selected Tuesday 5/20 as the day to officially announce that I’ll be “spreading my wings” and moving on from my active management role at FlippingHomes.com.
So here we are. Wow, time flies.
I’ve certainly learned a lot over the last year and a half or so with [...]

I’m so excited I can hardly stand it.
At the moment I’m writing this, the design, layout and architecture are all being fined tuned and tweaked. But in about a week or so, this bad boy launches. REItips.com will be a reality.
Now I realize this may not mean a lot to you at the [...]
