Michael Cook is a multi-family investor and graduate student at the Johnson School of Business at Cornell University.

He is a co-author at Bloodhound Blog and a serial winner of the Carnival of Real Estate Investing.  Greg Swann found him writing his stuff on myspace and quickly recruited him to write at Bloodhound.

Michael read my post about the "Carnival of the Economics of Real Estate" and joined Active Rain.  While I wouldn't expect him to post for points, he is a knowledgeable man with the gifted ability to communicate economic theories into everyday practice.  His entries are short enough to digest and long enough to keep you interested.  Michael's first post was called:

How To Value Options in Real Estate
 

Please join me in welcoming Michael to Active Rain!  Add this guy's blog to your list!  Those of you who host investor groups might want to extend a welcome to Michael and invite him to your group.
