And a lot of the various boards don’t really work together. This is something that REALLY confused me initially (& sometimes still does), so I […]

Good morning! This week we are talking about an article my husband and I discussed earlier this week. One thing I will say about him is that he is a HUGE READER and will read anything and everything, not only about the industry he works in, but also the industry I work in!

Good morning! Last weekend as I was out and about running errands with my friend Annie in Philadelphia, I simultaneously sold a playground-set at one of our rental properties up in Binghamton. The buyer and I coordinated everything via Facebook – he even paid us via Facebook! It was in that moment that I felt SO grateful for Facebook Marketplace. I did a little mini “woot […]
