The Purpose of this Blog - Reducing Complexity to Allow Quality Decision Making

The purpose of this blog will be to help individuals and potential investors, hereinafter "moguls" :), understand the fundamentals of real estate and real estate investing which I hope will lead to better personal real estate related decision making.

The crux of this blog is to help everyone understand real estate fundamentals, macro-economic conditions effect on the real estate environment and to provide personal commentary on current macro-economic data in a way that everyone can understand its application to real estate investing. 

I will also publish some of my favorite websites, books and articles that I feel will help educate everyone on important real estate related topics.  I will also supplement this blog with content from my MBA program (so we can learn together) and ask the real estate professors from FSU to contribute to the blog, whether directly or indirectly. 

Next, I will provide links to local real estate companies and professionals that can provide services that I can not.  This will help people understand what services are available and what professionals can provide these services in the Pittsburgh market.

I work in corporate real estate and I sell real estate part-time.  This blog is not to directly solicit business for myself but I will publish my listings and contact information to help develop my business.  This blog is an extension of my current and future business plans and will provide a platform for delivering information about my business. You can review my business mission and vision statement as well as gain an understanding of how I integrate philanthropy as part of my core business strategy.

Lastly, I am asking for feedback, thoughts and contributions to this blog.  Please send me your comments, opinions, criticisms and any general thoughts you have on the blog and other general topics in the business environment that you think will be a value-add to this blog. 

DISCLAIMER:  I am not a professional consultant nor do I claim to be an expert on anything; I am a real estate professional and an MBA student.  The opinions on this blog are my own; the interpretations of economic data are my own and neither of these represents anything else.  My goal is to educate people on real estate related topics that will allow them to make better decisions and to stimulate critical thinking.
