  If you’ve never had a panini from Rybrew on Girard, you’re missing out. It’s one of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite when I’m visiting my friend and fellow investor, Andrew, over in Brewerytown, and their New York sandwich is something else. Andy is something else, too. He learned how to invest in

The other day, I ran into an old friend. While we were catching up, he mentioned that he was thinking about buying and renovating property as an investment here in Brooklyn. He wanted to rent it out and create a long-term cash flow for his upcoming retirement. But he expressed feelings of unease as he

  We’ve all heard those horror stories involving a tenant who lingers in a property for months, digging in their heels and slowing the eviction process as much as humanly possible. My own personal nightmare began with a seemingly very nice family who every month experienced some kind of financial crisis. At first, I was

I like to think it wasn’t that long ago that I got curious about becoming an investor, when I started reading books on real estate investing, attending weekend introduction seminars, and chatting up anyone I could find on residential construction sites. Although it’s somewhat embarrassing to admit now, in the beginning, I was just looking to

Many investors still use just good old fashioned Excel and` QuickBooks to track their leads and evaluate potential properties to buy. Others realize that they need more than that and try to

  I’ve been investing in real estate for years and have seen plenty of investors come and go. Not everyone is able to make a career of it like I have, but many well-intentioned people certainly try.

  The minute my son was born, I knew in my heart that I was going to be taking more time away from my career than I’d anticipated. I loved my job but having him in my life fulfilled me in ways that I’d never experienced before. The practical business woman inside me, however, said

When I think of startup businesses that bring innovative products and solutions to market, my mind automatically drifts west to Silicon Valley, which spawned tech behemoths such as Apple, Uber, and Airbnb.
