The Wall Street Journal has a property section and there is one or more blogs that you can find there.Activity level does vary a bit but I know some post weekly.

Subscibe to the trade journals of whichever one you're interested in, visit their trade shows, talk to owner operators.

I also keep a simple journal of what I do each day, it can be as simple as “painted bedroom” or “installed kitchen cabinets”.

I'll try to keep a on going journal on progress to help keep me moving forward and to possibly help others get started.

With a degree in journalism � and a 30-year career as a reporter and editor, plus public relations, advertising, marketing and more � I decided to get a real job when I grew up.

I started a blog late last year - more of a journal - its in my signature profile.
