All of the stuff that I do

No Comments »

Hey music fans, if you happen to be in San Francisco on Friday night, April 9th, check out my funk band, BRO, at the Connecticut Yankee, 17th and Connecticut Streets, on Potrero Hill.  Once again we’re sharing the bill with FishBiteFish.

Doors open at 9:00 and the show starts at 10:00.

I hope to see you there!

Fortune Builders Short Sale class in Orlando, Florida

No Comments »

Greetings from Florida!  I’m here attending a four-day course presented by Fortune Builders on the subject of short sale and pre-foreclosure investing.  This is particularly timely since so many properties these days are over-leveraged. The only way to turn them into deals is to negotiate with the banks to reduce the debt, and this is what we are learning this weekend. When I get back to San Francisco, I’ll really crank up the marketing machine, and I’ll be better prepared for what will come in.

My New Blog

Well, it was only a matter of time before I joined everyone else writing various random thoughts for the world to read (not that the world really cares…)

I started this blog to talk about all of the many activities in which I am involved.  These range from real estate investing to various types of music to engineering.

Stay tuned…
