Allow me to present an ethics dilema.   There’s money out there for the taking!  Grant money!  The government is giving it away, so you’d be foolish not to take it.  After all, somebody will.  They’ll go out, apply for those grants, buy property, “employ people to fix up that property” and then sell that property to [...]

I’m turning this blog post over to Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) because I believe our country is in a dark place right now, and it’s important to let people know what’s important about the Second Amendment.  Don’t miss his post.  It explains things perfectly.  The Gun is Civilization,  By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) [...]

Here in Lexington we have a Starbucks where the management has thoughtfully planted Blackeyed Susans for those of us who use the drive-thru.  I don’t know if they realized that their flowers would be only part of the show for us. If I hadn’t looked down at the beautiful flowers at the drive-thru…If the flowers hadn’t been found [...]

        Feng Shui This – Ethics First, let me make clear that this post is about an IMAGINARY house.  No homes have been hurt in the building of this story…and no clients past or current have been represented.  What does Feng Shui have to do with ethics?  In my Feng Shui business [...]

The babies are here!  Spring can’t be far.  Lexington, KY’s horse farms are starting to sprout.  This is the most exciting time of year around here.  Every day someone new shows up, and someone takes his/her picture!  This little guy will be fat and sassy soon!  Check out the farms around Lexington.  You just might [...]

Are you waiting for the prices to drop more?  They probably will.   But, consider this, there will be more foreclosures, and this will place more homes on the market.  The more houses available, the cheaper  they will be as sellers try to entice buyers to their property.  It’s simple supply and demand economics.  When the [...]

These days Kentucky seems a bit chilled. Even our garden girls are cold. The little pond is frozen and the koi are sleeping beneath the ice…waiting for a quick thaw.  This is when those of us who work in Real Estate rest up and prepare for the busy spring ahead.  One day soon the Bluegrass [...]

 We’re proud of our livestock  here in Kentucky!  Central Kentucky isn’t all about horses and horse farms.  Our beef cattle are the finest anywhere, and our dairy cattle are high producers as well.  The land, the weather, and the people of Kentucky join together to make this a great place to raise livestock.  Whether you’re a [...]

 When I set out to become a Real Estate Mogul I decided that the 99 Neon with the cracked windshield and 229,000 miles would have to be replaced.  Believe it or not, I loved that little car…and I still think of it fondly.  But times change, so I went shopping.   I shopped and shopped and drove my friends [...]

Why should I invest my savings in farmland? Banks are going down the proverbial toilet, Stocks can’t be counted on anymore…who knows what the government is going to do next?  What should you do with your savings before it has lost even more value? Invest in farmland.  It’s safe, it’s secure, and farmland is getting more scarce by the day.  [...]
