And the Oscar goes to…

General

If I was given a number of those cool gold looking statues seen at the Academy Awards, I would waste no time in putting them to use.

I would hand them out to a select number of bloggers. Not just any blogger though. I would give them out to bloggers that blog on the topic of real estate investment and who have written an article that I have enjoyed reading this past month.

Fortunately, there are a number of very well written articles that I have read over the past month.

The purpose of my article that you are reading now, is to send a ‘shout out’ to these bloggers. I would like to draw attention to their articles and thank them for creating such quality content.

I also encourage you to check out these articles. There is value in all 5 of these articles.

The Oscars go to…

1) John Fedro, Mobile Homes Contributor of the premier real estate social networking website, BiggerPockets.

John, also known as J-Fed invests in Mobile homes in the U.S.A. According to some of John’s writing, he purchases a mobile home, pays off what he owes on it in 10 months, and then the remaining incoming payments that he receives is profit. I find this topic interesting so I am going to follow more of John’s writing.

You can read John’s article on Moblie Homes here.

2) Peter Kolat, Online Marketing Contributor of the premier real estate social networking website, BiggerPockets.

Over the past month, I have been studying blogging and internet marketing in greater detail. As a result, I found Peter’s article a timely read.

You can check out Peter’s website here, and his awesome article that he wrote for BiggerPockets here.

3) Chris Davies, Edmonton REIN member and real estate investor. Chris wrote a humor article on Property Management and the fear of finding dead bodies. I am enjoying Chris’ humor. Check him out.

4) Sheldon Johnston and Sara MacLennan of the Edmonton Real Estate Blog recently published a great article. From what I have read thus far, Sheldon and Sara really understand the real estate profession. They take a very responsible and pro-active approach in educating newcomers into the business. I wish more real estate brokerages had the foresight that Sheldon and Sara seem to have. Read their recent article to figure out why I am so thrilled with them.

5) Stephani Davis, Real Estate Wholesaling Contributor for the premier real estate social networking website, BiggerPockets.

Stephani wrote a recent article titled, Four Easy Ways To Increase Your Productivity in 2010. I liked the article as it was short and to the point. I picked up a few good tips from her article.

Also, she has a pretty cool website that I was just checking out. Cool colour scheme and all!

So there you have it. 5 bloggers who I would give an Oscar to for their outstanding contributions. Keep up the great writing guys and girl!

  • Hey Neil, thanks for the kudos! You’ve left some great comments on my blog, and I’ll respond to a couple of them in some future blog posts. You’re an amazing writer, and hopefully I’ll make it to a meeting out east and get to shake your hand one day!

    • Thanks for the kind words Chris!
      I have no doubt that our paths will cross one day.
      I made it out to Edmonton in October for Ron LeGrand, and plan to make some more trips out west for REIN meetings.
      All the best,
      Neil.

    • Thanks for the comment Steph!

      Loved the pink, the video, and the whole layout!
      Best Regards,
      Neil. 🙂

  • Neil, Great article title! Thanks for the props 🙂 It’s awesome that you choose to help anyone looking for their first rental property. There is so much that goes into it and although the process is fun and simple enough once understood; It defiantly is overwhelming in the beginning and middle stages!

    I’ll defiantly keep reading myself. I need all the pointers I can get!

    • Thanks for the comment J-Fed!
      I am going to continue to read your stuff as well. You have me really interested in the mobile homes concept.
      All the best and keep in touch.
      Regards,
      Neil
