March 11, 2007

THE FIRST MOSQUITO OF SPRING settled on my arm as I basked in the afternoon sun last Sunday. One swat and he was dispatched. (Trivia Question: What’s the last thing that goes through a mosquito’s mind when he hits your windshield? Answer: His rear end).

INVESTORS: 123 East Walnut Street, at the corner of Walnut and Stockton Streets across from Smart & Final, is arguably the cleanest apartment complex you’ll ever see. Six well-kept units, each with two bedrooms and one bath. Great cash flow! Solid tenants! Owned by a painting contractor. These apartments are in demand. We’ve received several offers, but as of this moment the property is very much for sale. Call me for further details or to arrange a private showing. Since showings are an inconvenience to the tenants, my Sellers request only qualified serious Buyers. Price? $699,950.

SPRING AHEAD TONIGHT! To clarify, I’m referring to setting your clocks forward. Don’t forget. Set those clocks so you won’t show up an hour late for church in the morning! The State of Hawaii doesn’t do Daylight Savings Time. Consequently, sometimes you’re TWO hours earlier there than here, and some times of year you’re THREE hours earlier. Confusing. But hey. If you’re in Hawaii, it don’t matter, Brah! Even jet lag is more fun in Hawaii.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS! Own your own office building! Excellent downtown location (corner of South Lee and Lodi Avenue)! Formerly used as dentist’s office and as loan company location. Six private offices, reception area, two bathrooms, kitchen area. Private lender may allow assumption of existing loan. New carpet! Recent interior paint! Call Statesman Realty’s Richard Mahoney (listing agent) at 642-0532 or visit his Open House today from 12 to 2 p.m.! 321 West Lodi Avenue is listed at $385,000.

REAL ESTATE, THE BEST INVESTMENT: Someone once said, “Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.” Obviously, a column written by a real estate broker could be expected to be bullish on real estate (no bull). However, like the Hair Club For Men spokesman, I don’t just sell real estate, I’m a customer myself! (NOTof the Hair Club…too late for that. I’m talkin’ real estate). Most veteran Realtors I know are also serious real estate investors. Even a slow learner like me can figure it out after a couple of decades of helping other people build fortunes. How about you? To paraphrase Ben Stein, the most important thing you can do for your future is to decide what you want to do. Where do YOU want to be financially in ten years? Real estate can take you there.

THANK YOU to all who have congratulated me (and Julie) on the arrival of our very first grandbaby! Winnie (Winifred Jane Wieland) just gets prettier with each passing day. Have a great week! See you next Sat.
