photo credit: respres According to The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by self-made millionaire and real estate investor Gary Keller, most successful real estate investors have had to overcome certain beliefs that later proved to be unfounded. Some of these beliefs center around the way they view themselves as investors, and the others are focused on beliefs about investing. By addressing these doubts and fears, and recognizing that they’re unfounded, you’ll eliminate the major barriers to becoming a real estate investor.

photo credit: joshua m. neff I blame the housing downturn on Election Year politics. OK, I’ve said it! I think the housing “crisis” has less to do with economic factors and more to do with the psychologic state of our great nation. I concede that the sub-prime mortgage mess was a house of cards that eventually was bound to fall. The housing downturn, unfortunately was the wind that knocked it over. Now, to the reason we have been ever so slow in the recovery process. The only thing the main stream media loves more than natural disasters, is politics! Bad news and controversy sell papers and gain viewers. The primary theme for the past 18 months have been War, (Read George W. is worthy of treason for not getting us the hell out of the Middle East) and the downturn of the economy due to ... 06/02/2008

  As I recently mentioned, I am switching over to a new home search feature.  I have been looking at new search features for Denver homes for some time and for a while I thought I had something, but in testing, it just wasn't everything I really wanted for my Denver area home buyers.   So the search started over a few weeks ago and I am really pleased with what I am going with.  The new Denver real estate home search is now live.  It has a fully adjustable Google map that acts as its map based search and I really feel you are going to find it to be one the easiest Denver home search options out there.   There are many other very cool features that I will tell you more about a little later.  It is a full Denver MLS homes search with many excellent features.   I started making the transit... 05/28/2008

The rate of foreclosures seems to be linked to a little bit of Mortgage Fraud. Well, I'll be darned. Who'd of thunk it? Colorado has ranked in the Top 10 (or bottom 10, depending on your level of cynacism) for foreclosures during many of the past 5 years. Not coincidentally, the Centennial State has been in the Top 10 for Mortgage Fraud, over much of the same time. Why is this? Maybe Colorado is full of dishonest people, home of the swindler? No, the real truth lies in the fact that Colorado was only one of two states (Alaska being the other) that had ZERO regulation over the mortgage industry. Recently, this has changed. Mortgage Broker's now need to be licensed by the state, and there are several new laws, enacted by the Legislature, targeting mortgage fraud and deceptive lending pra... 05/15/2008

Great question when your talking about many things, but today it's the perfect description for the weather in Denver.  I've read other posts around the rain about the wild weather swings in certain parts of the country.  And, the phrase "If you don't like the weather in [name of your town, city, state, here], just stick around a few minutes, and it will change"  is used often.The fact is there are few places in the world where it is more true the the Front Range of Colorado.  Yesterday, in Denver, it was 80+ degrees, this afternoon, it was in the 30's and we will have 3-5 inches of snow on the ground by tomorrow morning!  Additionally, it is supposed to be back in the 70's within 72 hours!You can see photos taken from my the inside of my car, showing the temps at around 5pm yesterday, a... 04/16/2008

Last year I posted a list of idea for Mother's Day Dining Out in the Denver area.  I have been asked, especially by those that have recently moved to Denver, if I am going to post something this year as well.  I was actually surprised, not really realizing as many people were reading my blog.  Here is the link to last year's post about it, as the restaurants I noted there would still be great picks.
