rent: 7-Habits just grew an eighth! - 02/20/08 09:13 PM
If you are a Covey fan then you will be familiar with the "7 habits of highly effective people"-This is one of the business books that I think we should require ourselves to re-read every few years or so. As we are growing up it is fun to see how far our development has progressed since the last read.
I just found out-where have I been? that there was an 8th habit! Good news for all of us: we are already practicing it! The 8th, in case you missed out on it too, is simple+FIND YOUR VOICE! and then help others find … (2 comments)

rent: IRS Scam from State attorney of Texas - 02/18/08 08:01 PM
The IRS knows our social security numbers don't give them out over the phone even if someone calls talking about the Bush refunds! and the IRS.This is identity theft that can be easily avoided. It seems the bad guys are trying to divert money from people who are deserving of it.If we publish this information perhaps there will be a few unsuspecting and perhaps susceptible people who won't just blurt out their personal information.You can make a difference if you talk to your community on this topic.I will include a link to the Texas State's attorney's letter that was received by … (2 comments)

I have to say thanks to the AR's. You have helped me become better at blogging! I read your blogs and they give me ideas that have helped me move my blog to number 4 in my area.

rent: What does the top ten rental cities have to do with the state of buying a home? - 01/13/08 03:08 PM
If you look at the top ten most expensive places for a renter to live in this country, you will notice that North Texas is not on that list. Why do rental rates go up? It's called scarcity. When the number of rental units drop, the cost of renting a home goes up! Simple supply and demand. So, if the cost of renting an apartment is still low (on the average) as it is in North Texas, then there is a good reason for that-we still have an abundance of places to rent. See this link for the Top Ten Most Expensive places … (0 comments)

rent: Open Houses to do or not to do? - 10/19/07 04:40 PM
I spoke about this earlier today and as I was on my realtown blogs I saw a note from a Gentleman in Michigan who suggest 15 minute open houses and I kind of like that idea. From what I can tell they gather the buyers at one starting point and give them flags to identify that they are a part of the ones touring that day. The sellers do offer food or snacks 50% do he said and the they tour like the REALTORS do. In and out in less than 15 minutes. The agents don't leave that quickly because the … (3 comments)

rent: What is your rent really costing? - 10/19/07 02:04 PM
I have a wonderful friend who is now looking for a job in Title work, she is a closer, if you know of anyone who is hiring I'd like to give them her information. She is the one who shared the idea for this chart with me and I love to use it with tenants who are still confused about their choices. Does it help you?
Collin County Texas tenants should be considering homeownership while the housing prices are low and the interest rates are still good. … (0 comments)

rent: Rent vs Buy in Today's Real Estate Market? - 10/11/07 06:34 PM
What about that ongoing question Rent versus Buy in todays slightly strange homebuying market? 
I was shocked to learn recently, and you may be too, that 33% of all households are renting their home!My thought provoking question of the day is simply this: If you are one of those people is it still a good idea?I keep hearing about housing bubbles and people who are worried about the analogy worry that it will pop.What would it take for that to happen?I have a friend who has a PhD behind her name, She loves to analyse these things and I thought I would … (0 comments)
