bill roberts: What You Need To Know About Land and Land Banking - 08/25/11 05:48 PM
Years ago I wrote about LAND and LAND BANKING. My observations then are just as valid today as if I just wrote them.Land remains my main focus for investing in real estate and for securing  retirement for Baby Boomers.

Some land is forested.  Some land is desert.  Some land is prairie.  Some land is flat.  Some land is steep. … (4 comments)

MeMe - What Have I Been Reading? By Bill Roberts
What have I been reading lately? A Meme imposed on me by my friend Bill Nazur.

Because of ActiveRain I Decided to "re-invent" Myself by Bill Roberts
I joined ActiveRain just a little over two months ago. I was a complete "newbie" as I had never blogged before. I had heard of it but I was sure that it was only something kids did.
What did I know? I had never blogged or even read a blog. Well, that isn't quite true. When doing a Google search on something or other a link to a Brian Brady post came up. It was his article entitled "I love Dingbats" which immediately made me think of someone near and dear. I … (44 comments)
