Welcome to BP Donnia... congrats on entering the whole new world of RE investing...Wishing you all the success your passions and actions will bring you.

As a passionate investor -- I often forget to be a husband and a father to my newborn (7 month old)My Wife and I's anniversary is tomorrow (Aug 11) :  What is something meaningful/special to do for my wife and son for the father that often concentrates too much on real estate ?

This can be anyone with a camera and basic real estate knowledge. before you pay your contractors schedule this person to take pics and shoot video of your property to be sure your contractor has done everything they are requesting funding for.

I am kind of passionate about this stuff... thinking of blogging.

I will send you over my video we made on wasp st. today for you to check out.

Since graduating with an architecture degree in '09 I've been mostly involved in construction management, but my true passion lies in real estate development.
