Manny's Economic Outlook for the Rest of the Year
Preview:
It is no secret that for the last few years, the U.S. and global economy has been in the tubes. We have witnessed many unprecedented events on wall street that has shook the confidence of consumers around the world, and many people are feeling down and out due to the extremely high unemployment rate that we are currently experiencing. Many people today are walking away from their housing obligations, either because they simply cannot afford to pay the mortgage any more, or they can afford to pay but their house is worth significantly less than what they paid... continue reading >>
Decision Made: Becoming a Real Estate Broker & Creating a Leasing Division
Preview:
It has been nearly two years since I got my real estate license, and I have made the decision to move forward and get my Brokers license. Since leaving the accounting profession on February 15th, 2010, I have been focussed on the side of real estate that deals with property management and leasing services. I believe the reason why I took this route as opposed to the traditional buyer’s agent and listing agent is because of my passion for investment properties, and the fact that I would like to own many units of real estate myself one day.... continue reading >>

Your Thoughts Determine Your Life!
Preview:
What a simple concept to think about. Your Thoughts Determine Your Life. It’s true. There is nothing more simple than this, yet the overwhelming majority of people never subscribe to this line of thought. This topic popped into my mind this morning because It was extra hard to get out of bed this morning. My AC was pumping and the covers just felt to damn comfortable. I kept hitting the snooze button once again, and I realized that my thoughts were inhibiting me from getting up out of bed and starting the beautiful day... continue reading >>
What a Little Card can Do for Someone
Preview:
The other day, I decided to use my new marketing system that I purchased from the friend to use it for a non-business related purpose. To send a simple card to my mom. I wrote a silly little message on it, logged into the online platform, and sent her a card telling her how much I appreciate her for being the best mom in the world. I didn’t think much of it after I sent it, but felt that it would make her day a little brighter. Little did I know the impact it would have... continue reading >>
Life is What YOU Make It!
Preview:
Last year on the 26th birthday, I had decided to try something different in terms of what I wanted to accomplish until my next birthday. I had written down 4 items in which I wanted to achieve, and I had posted them all over my facebook profile for the good portion of the year. Each time I would open my facebook account and look at my profile, it would remind me of what my goals had been, and served to keep my mind focussed on what I needed to do for the year. It was an interested... continue reading >>

Tell em What you Do!

Since becoming a full time real estate professional as a Leasing Manager to a Property Management company, I have seemed to gain credibility over night among my circle of friends and business associates.

Doesn't it seem like out economy is taking a while to come back to solid footing? Is the news getting more and more depressing, to the point that you can't seem to find any good news about anything anymore?

Viral Marketing – Penetrating the North End Community
Preview:
Just got back from the gym this morning, and now my next task is to implement a marketing campaign that I put together for the management company I work for in order to increase the flow of qualified tenants to our properties in the North End of Hartford. Although Craigslist is the overwhelming source of our tenant leads, along with other internet marketing, the flow of tenants is not what we had expected to this point, and I agree with the owners assessment. As such, a deeper penetration into the surrounding community will need to be implemented in... continue reading >>
