Getting The Ball Rolling

February 26, 2003

I made a big call today, a call that could change a man’s life.

I called one Tommy Tucker, a real estate agent from the greater Portland area. Tommy and I gonna meet for some brainstorming, y’know, “eyeball to eyeball.”

As a “first time buyer,” it’s normal to have a lot of questions. This will be an education for me. I’m excited. I mean, hell, if I’m gonna spend a couple more good years here, I might as well do it with “practical investing” in mind.

Not to mention, I’m real tired of renting someone else’s space. Floyd has a nice pad. The H�tz family has a nice pad. Goo is a homeowner. These folks are doing things right.

All you homeowners out there, feel free to leave any “first time buyer” feedback that might be relevant in the comments section below. Advice and tips are welcome–and appreciated–as I get the ball rolling.
