Good Morning! This week we are talking about something that affects almost all of us right now and that is WORKING FROM HOME. I have been working from home for a little over two years now, but even for me, my work world has been rocked a bit by this pandemic. So let’s talk about it. So, as we do, […]
Good Morning! How crazy low are these interest rates, right?! It seems as though everyone and their mother is scrambling around to take advantage of these bad boys, whether it’s through buying a home or refinancing a home. I personally am on the REFI train. Which means I need to get my financial life and documentation in order ASAP. So, as […]
Good Morning! This week I decided to look into the possibility of installing smart locks at a rental property. I had never used them before so this required a ton of research for me. I want to share with you what I found! So, as we do, let’s talk Real Estate, let’s talk SMART LOCKS… First of all there are […]
Over the past couple of weeks, we have talked about the tenant search process! We touched on searching for tenants, landlord references and thoughts on cosigners. After the vetting process is finally over, the hopes are that you ended up with a great tenant and sent out leases to be signed! But just because you have a signed lease, does not […]
Good Morning! This past week has been CRAZY up in the NYC real estate market.

So, as we do, let’s talk Real Estate, let’s talk SECURING YOUR HOMES pt II… Last week I did an EXTENSIVE review on how RING was just not enough for me […]
Good Morning! As you all know, we started Project Philadelphia way too long ago… but the good news is IT IS FINALLY DONE (I will do a HUGE post on that SOON). However now that it is done, I am more paranoid than ever about keeping it “safe” until we fill the units. We have had a RING camera on […]
Good Morning! This week I had the privilege of watching the Willionaire Summit from my little “at home” office. This was a virtual summit hosted by real estate guru, Grant Wise. Grant interviewed 40 of the best agents in the real estate industry and asked each of them to answer one question; “What is the one thing you would teach someone […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Sending today’s LTRE later in the day this week because let’s face it… who the heck wants to read an email at 7:30 AM on New Year’s Day?! Today marks the start of a new decade and for some reason, that feels like even more pressure to hit the ground running?! While we should really always be […]
