I will be posting information intended to be helpful for home buyers, sellers, and investors. I will also post articles intended to be of benefit for other Real Estate Professionals. I will try to avoid articles on religion or politics, unless it has direct bearing on Real Estate matters, but I reserve the right to be thought-provoking, and even philosophical at times. (And even humorous, if I am feeling in the mood)

Like so many others, you watch shows like "Flip This House" and think,"Wow, what a great way to make money...I should do that."  You think you might want to "flip" properties, but you don't know where to start.  For most people, it stops there, and they never invest in a single property.

Shopping in the Glen Eagle Square shopping center is within what I consider an easy walk -- even with my bad knee. The condo fees cover all your external building and lawn maintenanc...
