Along with letting you know about the open houses scheduled for this Sunday, I want to share an a quick bit of wisdom. I am currently working with an investor who is doing a 1031 exchange following the passing of his parents who were first-generation immigrants. They came to this country, worked hard, and invested in real estate. With their passing, their children are now coming into a fairly substantial amount of money. Following their parents advice, they too are investing in real estate. Their parents words of wisdom: invest in what you can sweep.

Love it!

Here are the open houses to anticipate this Sunday. Have a great weekend.
