Basic Real Estate Investing Terminology - 08/13/11 07:22 AM

With real estate leasing going strong in many parts of the nation, you may be considering getting into Real Estate Investing. In this blog, I’ll describe some of the basic terminology.
All examples will be based upon a $100,000 purchase price, $1,000 a month rent, $300 a month operating expenses, and a $450 a month mortgage.

It is a Landlord’s Market in Dallas Texas - 08/09/11 11:28 PM

I’ve been watching the rental market in the greater Dallas area for a number of years. It’s finally a landlord’s market again.

The Preserve in Allen August 2011 Update - 08/03/11 11:35 AM
We had a nice conversion with Toni Petty with Ashton Woods yesterday about The Preserve in Allen.   The project is slightly ahead of schedule and presales should begin in November 2011. In an earlier blog, we wrote that there was some discussion about The Preserve in Allen being part of Twin Creeks. That decision has been made and The Preserve will not be part of Twin Creeks.
