Instead of wondering if your latest thought about investing in the company that makes the best antacid or anxiety medicine is a strategy born of genius...
Rather than watching your investment disappear as a company becomes worthless...
As a choice for stability in the long-term instead of today's roller-coaster ride...
It just might be worthwhile to go back to basics and put your money into something REAL for once!
Companies come, companies go
Dow Jones can be fickle, you know
This one's good, this one's bad
Without even knowing, you got had
Enron me once
Tyco me twice
Global Crossing and more
Once upon a time
Grandpa spoke some sage advice:
"Houses are houses, and houses shall be
Dirt doesn't go bye-bye nor
parachute its way free"
"It might not be thrilling
or chilling or what
When paper goes crashing
that which is real
should garner a thought"
The values may rise very fast or real slow
Regardless of market
There's still something to show
Ideas come forward,
make noise and get stale
Arthur Andersen and other
White Whales
More fortunes are made
from realty, you know
let someone else be
the last one to go
So come on investors,
the savvy, the sane
I'm here to help you,
your serenity regain.
Time to put your money in Tucson real estate, my friends. I'm ready to take your call.

"Never forget - Real Estate Is About People"
Kent, love the poem! Sounds like the advice I got from my grandmother a bunch of years ago!
Awesome poem Kent did you make this up yourself? I've definitely been seeing increased investor interest since the stock market has been decreasing I guess people are starting to understand that real estate is a real investment. Its not just paper.
Thanks for being the first to comment, Patricia - our elders know a thing or two, don't they? (as long as we keep them away from the computer sometimes) LOL
Thank you, Justin - it had been rattling around in my head in various forms...just wanting me to quit playing with it!
Kent.. Great post.. Buying Real Estate has always been a great investment
Hi Kent . . . Good Stuff . . . Thanks for the post
Aloha

hi Kent, as an ex NASDAQ day trader who survived the 97 crash I totally agree with your post/advice. I made a lot of $$$ in the stock market, eventually lost some but the best investment I ever made was my home.
BTW, that was a very creative way to get your ideas across, thx for sharing it!
Kent, great post! You're so right, loved the poem!
i beg to differ -I want 50% real estate 50% stock -they both go up and down and at different times they both make you want to pull your hair out.
Roland, James, Tom - thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!
marti - it sure is nice to get some perspective from someone who has experienced Wall Street also.
Tony & Darcy - nice of you to stop by! Thanks
Spencer - you're right about a diversified portfolio, if you feel heavy on the stock end--I'll be glad to help you! LOL
Nice poem...no better time to invest in AZ real estate than right now. Prices are at an all time low and rents are strong in many areas. Sounds like you got your figure on the pulse in the Tucson market!!!
