I do not do a whole weekend but I try to have a "no technology day" once a month.

Houston has a great robust economy with O&G, technology, finance, and retail but battered with the potential of natural disaster (mainly hurricanes) every few years (I been through a few hurricanes).

I am a very old school person when it comes to keeping track of goals and commitments (even though I am a millennial and grew up with technology).

This source of capital has grown significantly over the past 5 - 7 years due to a combination of improvements in technology, changes or easing of regulations, and a real estate cycle upswing that has outlived the norm. 

With all the available technology, you can have agents/contractors/inspectors take videos and pictures to verify key facts of the house allowing you to basically "be there" Removes some of the emotional connection to a property allowing you to make a better business decision for you.

There is no such thing as a free "Turn Key" system, but Connected Investors is as good as a community as any and their technology saves me time (which I enjoy with my family).

With a myriad of design choices and finishes available, aided by the present day engineering and technology, it's challenging, finding the best countertop for your home.

I've had quite a bit of business finance and working with investors in my previous field but, am new to CRE funding (anxious to learn).I also own a patent related to music technology that I hope to launch with the profits in my new venture in CRE.Looks like a great site!

With the advent of technology, it is becoming increasingly easier to own assets in other parts of the country (even in other countries) by strategically leveraging technology.
