I read a story earlier this week about a Texas woman who found a 2000-year-old bust of ancient Roman commander Drusus Germanicus. She picked it up at a Goodwill for $34.99 and didn’t even know what she had until two years of digging turned up some interesting facts. Apparently, the bust once resided inside a

Way back, many moons ago before I discovered the magical world of real estate investing, I worked a lot of different jobs. But I wouldn’t really call them jobs. They were more like J.O.B.s (Just Over Broke). But I wasn’t even over broke. I had no money at all. What I did have was a

Last week I shared with you how the time I spent with Mark Victor Hansen was so incredibly valuable to me. Mark taught me that the greatest asset we have is our minds. And that when focused and determined, we can transform our ideas into profit. I’m not saying that physical work is bad or
I read an article this morning about a 3,200 year old Chinese mummy that was found with pants on. Well, not just pants. It was a woman buried in a poncho, soft leather boots, a headband decorated with bronze discs and seashells, and the earliest known pair of jeans. I’m a bit of a nerd

My probate student spotted this lawyer’s shenanigans from a mile away Last week one of my students sent me this email about a probate property he is working on:—-Hi, Ernie.I have a probate property and I suspect there are some shenanigans going on. In December, I received a lead from a woman that is set to
