Twitter as an Investment?
December 14th, 2008 Categories: Apollo Beach, Bloomingdale, Brandon, FishHawk, Real Estate Investment, Riverhills, Riverview, Valrico
Those of you that are enamored with Twitter and those of you who like a good stock investment tip every once in awhile, take note.
On paper, it seemed like a match made in heaven: A partnership between social networking giant Facebook, in whom Microsoft (MSFT) owns a 1.6% stake, and micro blogging platform Twitter was in the works. Then Evan Williams took over as Twitter’s chief executive in October 2008, and tempting as it was, rebuffed a $500 million offer from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Williams had his reasons. The brains behind an earlier web 2.0 darling called Blogger — which allows average Joes to share at will and was sold to Google (GOOG) in 2003. Williams stated that he didn’t think Twitter was ready to be bought out, too much unfinished business.
Twitter and or Facebook may bare watching as an investment; no doubt some big fish, i.e. Microsoft or Google and other huge web related companies are circling. I have always been a believer in investing in companies that produce goods or services that the investor is familiar in. Many of us on ActiveRain are becoming more and more familiar with Twitter and can attest to its potential value, not only as a social networking tool and a micro blogging platform, but also as a potential investment.

The Shotgun is Loaded If My Neighbor Returns to My Backyard!
November 23rd, 2008 Categories: Riverhills
I’m not usually a violent man…
I have never been much for violence. As a matter of fact I don’t even own a gun or rifle. Now I am not one that is against the NRA or anybody that owns a gun.
As a matter of fact, I had to borrow a gun from a friend of mine so I could protect my property. I borrowed a 410 Shotgun from Jim. I distinctly remember the conversation. Read the rest of this entry »

Is your Brandon Area home getting ready to expire in the MLS?
November 22nd, 2008 Categories: Apollo Beach, Bloomingdale, Brandon, FishHawk, Real Estate Investment, Riverhills, Riverview, Valrico
If your home has been listed in the MLS, and it is getting ready to expire, I would like to make a few suggestions…
- Get a new agent… May I suggest me…
- Set up the new listing to begin the day after the current listing expires…
- Go on a nice vacation for a few days…
- Don’t forward your home phone to your cell phone… and you might consider NOT sending it to voice mail…
Why you ask?
Because it is going to get ugly. Read the rest of this entry »

The Devil’s is in the Details: Closing Escrow
November 10th, 2008 Categories: Apollo Beach, Bloomingdale, Brandon, East Hillsborough Neighborhoods, First Time Home Buyers, FishHawk, Military Moves, Riverhills, Riverview, Valrico
The final phase of purchasing a home is called closing escrow or “The Closing” as real estate agents call it. The closing has six steps leading to the completion of the process. All of these steps are important and they are as follows:
An “escrow” or “sales” contract (agreement to purchase) starts the process.
STEP #2 Processing the File
Processing the file is when tax information, loan payoffs, survey if necessary, homeowner/maintenance fees, inspections/reports, and hazard and other insurances as well as legal papers are ordered and title commitments/preliminary reports are reviewed and sent out. Read the rest of this entry »
