charleston real estate: What single marketing idea did you utilize in 2009 that gave you your best results? - 12/14/09 03:57 PM
I was looking back over the past twelve months attempting to analyze what one marketing idea that I used that gave me the best results, (so that I could focus more on it...and less on other non-productive ones)
So, I wanted to survey my brother and sisters on ActiveRain and see what has worked best for them in 2009.
"What did you do in 2009 that gave you the biggest bang for your buck?"
P.S. By the way, I'll share my biggest "Ah-Ha" moment in 2009....when I bit-the-bullet and re-started by newsletter campaign to everyone that I met or came in contact … (1 comments)

"On a recent evening I bought into a limited partnership, flipped a bed and breakfast for a quick profit, tripled my money on "OK4U" pharmaceutical stock. I also got downsized from my teaching job, bought a duplex and had a baby. After all that, I managed to get out of the proverbial rat race." - Sarah Max, CNN/Money Senior Writer

charleston real estate: Hide The Women & Children ~ The Magnificent 7 Are Coming To Charleston! - 02/12/09 08:48 AM
A lot of us that were around back in the 60's, remember Steve McQueen, Yul Brynner. James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, & Horst Bucholz, teaming up to star, in what many movie fans would argue, is the greatest western of all time:
The Magnificent Seven!
It is the story of seven highly skilled professionals that joined forces to help a small Mexican village. The original movie started a decade of great sequels, (The Guns of the Magnificent Seven, Return of the Magnificent Seven, etc) and helped pave the way for the "Spaghetti Westerns" that made Clint Eastwood (The Good, The Bad, … (0 comments)

In the history of our Cashflow 101 events, no one has repeated.

charleston real estate: Who is the "Best" CashFlow 101 player in Charleston, SC? - 12/30/08 06:20 AM
Normally, there is a lot of "trash-talking."
"You're going down!"
"You couldn't beat my Grandmama!"
"Yea, yea, yea!"
A little "testosterone" (by the way, the above comments were made by the ladies) occasionally appears, but generally, it is a pretty good group that gets together every month to see:
"Who is the the "Best" Cash Flow 101 player in Charleston...
and the answer, this morning, to that question is:
Tim Dorst of Mt. Pleasant, SC
Tim, who was a "newbie" first time attendee,
outplayed, outlasted, outwitted, and out
leveraged everyone to win the title.

charleston real estate: Foreclosure King Odell Barnes Knows The Best Thing for Distressed Neighborhoods - 11/20/08 07:34 PM
The last time that Odell Barnes was interviewed he had over 400 would-be homeowners from all over the United States send hime their contact info in hopes that he would finance a home for them.
When "Nightline" first met Odell Barnes, the man known to some as the Foreclosure King, he was on his cell phone constantly, buying foreclosed homes by the dozens from his front porch in South Carolina. (ABC News)A year later, he's still answering the phone, but he's off his porch and in Detroit.
"It's too big for me," he said of the current housing crisis. "One thousand … (27 comments)

charleston real estate: Who do you know..that I should know? - 11/14/08 07:24 PM
This was probably one of the BEST questions that I have ever been asked..
(aside from my high school girlfriend, Brenda Dillon, asking me, "Have you ever been skinny-dipping?")
Think about it for a second..
(Not the skinny dipping...get your mind out of the gutter:)..the original question:
"Who do you know...that I should know?"
When my former Mentor would ask me this question years ago, I must confess, that I didn't "get it".
He really didn't realize what he was getting into when he agreed to tutor me :)
Fast forward 20 light years ahead and it would be scary to know how many key … (2 comments)

charleston real estate: Was it worth waiting in line 3 hours, in the chilly Charleston rain? - 11/04/08 01:53 PM
As you can tell by the photo below, local Charleston voters, turned out in record numbers to support their candidates.
I thought that I was being "smart" by getting to the polls early only to learn that voters were there, in line, an hour before the doors opened:)
Two things that I noticed about the people in my community:
(1) They were young, old, tall, short, fat, skinny, white, black, asian, etc. all standing in line for the same
reason; nobody complained; nobody fussed; all with the same objective..to exercise their right to
vote.
(2) The first thing that the majority … (1 comments)

charleston real estate: Where did you get your work ethic from? - 10/24/08 09:20 PM
Recently, I was going thru some really old family photos and realized that in almost every photo of my Grandparents - they were working. My Grandmother ran a small rural country store; my Grandfather was a journeyman carpenter; they were always working, either on their jobs, on their house or in their yard.
As I think back, I realized that they had an incredible work ethic and were probably the reason that I began developing my values, beliefs and work habits at a early age. For example:
At age 7, I was collecting used newspapers and selling them to fish markets to … (2 comments)

charleston real estate: Who do you know that thinks their house is a "Teller Machine?" - 10/18/08 10:50 PM
On November 4th & 5th, local Masters-in-equity will auction 201 properties on the courthouse steps.
201 families, many of which have already abandoned their homes, will have to face the consequences of some bad choices.
One of them is a good friend of mine.
"Bill" (not his real name of course} had worked for the same company for 10+ years; he was earning around $70,000+ when he bought his house in 2003; with his wife earning $50, 000 a year, they could easily afford the $1200 a month house payments.
First year: Like most people, might have overspent a little in furnishing … (0 comments)

charleston real estate: What would you say? - 10/09/08 09:39 PM
"Did you know?" the voice on the other end of the telephone asked.
"Who is this?" was my initial response, quickly followed by "Did I know what?"
That's how the conversation began this morning with a local real estate agent (Let's call him Bill) who is a member of the Charleston Real Estate Investor's Association.
"Did you know that the restaurant that our local real estate club meets at once a week, has just been listed on the Charleston MLS for $1,900,000?"
I could hear the frustration and intensity in "Bills" voice...so, I tried to choose my words carefully as I tried to recall something - … (1 comments)
