What's In YOUR Junk Drawer? - 10:32 AM
What's In YOUR Junk Drawer?  
I suspect some of you, like me, have a junk drawer. 
But maybe not, if you have compulsive neatnik tendencies.  C'mon, fess up!
I'm not quite sure how mine got started in the first place, but it seems to move from house to house...growing and changing with each move. The junk drawer has a life of its own, and while I can't give you a detailed list of what's in it, I can only say it has a lot of junk AND I know where to go to find it. 
I suppose early on I … (21 comments)

What's that you say, " They did what? "

Have you ever stopped to realize  that people talk or think about you more often than your realize ? Even when you don't think they remember you, they do. And their impressions of you are repeated many times even from long ago.
What reputation have you built ? What do people say about you when you came back into their minds. You recall a near perfect relationship but that may not be the way you will be remembered.
Most people in business and in real estate in particular, don't realize that … (108 comments)

building permits and starts - 01:44 PM
Below are four graphs with the most current permit and start information. Two graphs are for single family activity only; two graphs are for all permits and starts which include multi family. As I review the information I believe the conclusion you can draw from the numbers is the new construction housing business is in a depression from which they have not even begun to achieve escape velocity. The new construction will not recover until the foreclosures are brought to market and sold and the additional factor of jobs being need to drop unemployment. Not temporary census jobs which have cooked … (0 comments)

Do You/Should You Care About Your Mentor's Political Affiliation? - 02:35 PM
As promised, I'm picking on yesterday's blog on whether or not one should choose a business mentor based on the two parties' social/political compatibility.
Yes, I think it's actually a pretty good idea, if you have strong leanings toward one side or the other. Not because politics will likely ever come into the conversations you have with your mentor. But the divide is wide enough between those on the medium-to-far right and those on the medium-to-far left to make a true connection between the two difficult or even impossible.
