Why is it agents don't want to put homes pending? If someone has an accepted offer the home needs to be put as pending. I understand that you would like to show the house and accept backup offers, but if I'm on the buyers side I am going to call and ask why it is not showing as pending. I have ru...

Alright I was not much of a fan of you tube, because anybody can post anything on this site, but I did some hunting around and found a couple of things that were of high interest to myself. The first and foremost being hockey highlights. I know I need to reasess my priorities. Well I found this v...

This was out for a short while, but the girlfriend wanted to go and see it. It wasn't my first choice, but this is what "WE" decided on, or more like what I was going to see whether or not I wanted to see something else. Oh Well. Anyways we went to see "The Waterhorse". I'm not sure if anybody kn...

This game was one of those things that you just don't forget. I would have to say it was one of the better games that I have seen this year. Mainly because of the weather conditions. I give full marks to the goaltenders Ryan Miller, and Ty Conklin. They did an utterly amazing job with hardly bein...

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope that this year treats you fantastic. I am looking forward to a great year. Now I'm not sure if I have enough in this to get the points, but I'm going to post it and find out in a minute. I guess that it wasn't. I think that I have it now.

I'm sure that there are not many people that even know what the Cold War is, and I don't mean the war in Russia. This was the first college hockey game played outside, and it took place October 6, 2001 at Spartan Stadium between Michigan and Michigan State. This was a game to remember. Eventhough...

I found a house today that I wanted to go and look at. so I made the typical call to the listing office and they were closed. Yeah I know that it's new year's eve, but that doesn't mean that everyone takes the day off. As you can imagine the agent didn't call back. I know that pretty much everyon...

Obviously it is the day before the new year will be kicked off with a load of football games, but what I am really looking forward to is watching the Winter Classic that will take place in Buffalo, NY. This should be a great event. Ryan Miller will get the opportunity to play in two outdoor games...

I finally got the numbers back on what it will cost to get the rental home fixed up and rented out at a decent price. The final figures look pretty good. If things go well it should profit as high as $300/month, but it could be as low as $150 if there are a few unforeseen things take place while ...

Well at last I found a place. I am waiting back for some final numbers, and then I will be writing an offer. It's not a steal, but it is definitely a good deal. The built in equity from full purchase price is roughly $66k, without getting all of the repairs done. There is minimal work to be done,...
