Welcome! 

Who am I?

Welcome to my real estate blog.  Let me tell you a little about myself.  I've spent most of my adult life as a teacher in a middle school in Washington, DC.  Along the way, I became an "accidental" real estate investor in 2004 when I bought my first rental property; a fixer upper in the Ledroit Park neighborhood of DC. In 2009, I expanded my portfolio of Properties by adding another row house in Capitol Hill. By this time, I fully understood the value of the passive income so this year I added my third rental property in Petworth, another neighborhood in Northwest, DC.

When I started, I had no knowledge of Real Estate investing, but managed to muddle through with some good luck, good timing and good instincts. Along the way, I accumulated some crazy stories, but I also learned a bunch of lessons about real estate investing and financing.

Eventually friends came to me regularly for advice about real estate, and I happily obliged.  One person asked me why I wanted to go into real estate sales.  When I explained about my experience and my interests, he answered: "Oh, so you've always been a real estate agent; now you're just making it official." That had a true ring to it.

So now I'm excited to join Keller Williams Capital Properties. I'm very impressed with the support they give and the ethics they espouse and demonstrate.

Why this Blog?

Over the years I've developed significant expertise in real estate that I can share with potential buyers and sellers. Most posts will be my musings about the industry, but I may repost useful or thought provoking articles that are related...either tangentially or directly to real estate. So drop in and feel free to put in your two cents!

And as always, if you're in need of real estate services, advice or recommendations, I'd be honored to help you any way I can.
