A short Video about the Oct. 2020 WREIA meeting.

You can catch a few more details about this months WREIA meeting at the video below.

Nearly all of my career has been spent investing here in the DC area.

I have learned a lot about the area, the people and of course made a few mistakes along the way. I hope to share some of those experiences at our WREIA meeting this Monday.


Most of our topic this month will be steered toward someone who is new to the business.
For that matter, maybe you are not new, but you will get something out of this meeting if you are simply struggling with all the changes over the last 10+ years.

Because the reality is – the DC area has changed a LOT over the last 10 years.


I hope you join us on Monday at our still virtual October 2020 WREIA meeting.

Getting Out Of Town

Re: Out Of Town

Recently – I got out of town.

The family and I simply got in the car and took off for the Carolinas.

It didn’t take long to brush off the stress of getting back to school and getting back to work and the traffic here in DC.

It started with a simple question – “If the kids are going to school online – why do we have to stay here every day?”

So – off we went.

It turned out to be a good experiment.

The focus was still school – online – in the morning for my son. I would catch up on work and phone calls and we would catch a few holes of golf in the afternoon.

I have to tell you, just getting outside for a few days was worth the trip.

One of the side benefits of the trip was the inspiration I took from a single phone call with a relatively new investor who was struggling with the money side of the real estate business.

Her struggle over the last 6 months or so will become your gain next Monday evening. You will get a peek into our conversation with our WREIA meeting this month.

I hope she made some progress on the call. I think above all – she probably struggled with the “Belief” that she could do it.

After we hung up I started to take a few notes and within the hour had developed the outline for our October 2020 WREIA meeting.
