Published on June 13, 2010 By Matt

We spent the last couple days in Boston at a Pensco Trust Company symposium learning about all sorts of different alternative investments that can be made using a self-directed IRA. There’s so much you can do with your IRA beyond just buying stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Did you know you can buy and sell property within [...]

Freezing My @$$ Off!!

Published on December 30, 2009 By Matthew

Wow, it was bitterly cold today. The high was 16 but the wind was whipping at 30 mph so it sent a chill right through you…. it was almost unbearable.  Even my little snowdog Teddy couldn’t take it. Usually when I let him out to do his business in the morning he plays in the snow or [...]

I posted a video of this property last week but I wanted to post a couple pictures to show you what we’re up against at this house.

This week started off just like last week….. with a closing on Monday and another on Tuesday.  We sold the Ware House on Monday and sold 39 Brooks St  on Tuesday. The Ware House - If you remember this beauty I was up in the air about rehabbing it or just wholesaling it. We closed on it, but because it’s [...]
