Over the weekend, we had company at our house. A relative. We get along pretty well at most times, except when certain subjects come up. You know the type. We all have one in the family. OK, most of us anyways. This relative spent about 2 hours one morning informing our kids about how people shou...

The gun control issue always stirs up lots of emotions on both sides of the aisle. Everybody has their two cents to throw in. With the recent shooting in AZ a few weeks ago, the topic has resurfaced, especially with our liberal minded media who do not want anyone except criminals to be able to ha...

Take a look at this! As a builder and investor, I am always looking for a good property that will return well. This may be the ticket. It's literally a showcase of new homes, all against the backdrop of a championship golf course with manicured fairways and greens. There's no other community in ...

Last week I was all fired up for the Jets. I even went out on a limb and wrote a blog titled Jets by 7. This week it is all muddled to me. The last line that I read has the Steelers by 3. A pretty short spread compared to what the boys had to overcome last weekend, but a margin nontheless. The St...

As 2011 heats up just a bit, I am seeing a few new homes going up in my small rural area. From what I can see, it looks mostly like entry level homes being built by what is left of the "tract" builders that are remaining in the business around here.

House Republicans introduced a bill yesterday that would cut $250 billion out of the budget every year for the next 10 years. I like it.
