Well, it’s official. We’re going to have an early spring. How do I know this? I’ll tell you my scientific approach to the weather; a rodent in Pennsylvania didn’t see his shadow. Never mind the fact that this groundhog, named Punxsutawney Phil, has only been right 40% of the time since 1887 (that’s one old
It’s a little known fact that estates do not have to end up in probate. You may already know this, but the vast majority of Americans do not. So how can someone avoid putting their heirs through the pains and struggles of probate? They need to be proactive and create a living trust before they
You know, the probate niche just isn’t for everyone. I got a response from a guy names David from Monday’s email that I guess didn’t surprise me. Here’s what he sent: “What’s your point and please get to your main point within 2 or 3 lines of your email” Now to be fair, he might
Creating mass hysteria is nothing new for us in the 21st century. It seems like the mainstream media never stops trying to keep us all worked up so we don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain. And with instant “news” and social media, it’s easy for them to manipulate us 24/7. Almost a
I told you earlier this week about my experience buying a new car. We’re loving our new Honda Pilot, but that meant we had to say goodbye to the Cadillac Escalade that has served us so well over the years. So when the time came to sell, I decided to check out CarMax. I wasn’t
I got an email yesterday from one of the members of my Probate Fox mastermind community. Her name is Gabby and she shared her notes from our meeting last week. Gabby is crushing it not because she has an innate ability to sell or stay motivated. Her success lies in her ability to identify her
There was a time when it was cool to be part of Gen X. Now our kids are getting married and even having grandkids. Even though I am a gen x’er, I’m pretty young at heart and my age doesn’t really enter my conscious mind. This is mostly true, but every now and then something
We’ve had our fair share of crazy weather here in L.A. Heck, last month a hurricane and earthquake hit us on the same day! But today I’m not talking about a real hurricane. I’m talking about how some people live in absolute squalor. Working probate real estate for over 20 years, I’ve seen some pretty
You may have seen the late-night infomercials of real estate gurus espousing the secrets to investing in property with no money and no credit. But is it really possible? The simple answer is yes, someone can start investing in real estate with little or no money and with bad or no credit. There are plenty
Have you ever seen the 1986 horror classic “The Fly” staring Jeffery Goldblum? I’ve gotta tell you, that movie creeped me out when I was a kid. At one point in the movie, Geena Davis delivers one of the most classic lines in movie history. At a pivotal moment, she says, “Be afraid. Be very
When I’m out speaking at events throughout the country, one question I get asked over and over is when is the market going to crash. We certainly are in an odd situation. People who were lucky enough to lock in near zero percent mortgages just aren’t going to give those low rates up and sell
Have you heard about the Canadian wildfires that are wreaking havoc across the midwest and east coast? If you live in a state that has been affected by this disaster, I know you know. The smoke from these fires, which have consumed almost 20 million acres of forests and continue to grow, has been drifting
