We’ve just had the website up a few hours less than 48 hours, and have had a fair number of emails already asking us what we plan to include in the blog. 

We’re still very much building in our blog content, and meanwhile working to run the data analysis component of our company, which demands our daily attention.  It will take a couple of weeks to really build in all of the content this blog will normally contain, so please bear with us and check back frequently if you don’t find what you’re looking for today.

Here’s a quick rundown of what we intend to post here on the blog to help you in your emerging market investing efforts:

1.  The main intent of the blog is to provide a categorized listing, state by state, of positive, favorable, and economically stimulating events that will support the creation of or sustain an emerging market.  You’ll be able to use this resource to track your states and / or markets of interest quickly and easily.  If you’ve got some news that’s important that we’ve missed - send it in and we’ll credit you for the post.  

2.  As we’ve posted for the first time today, we’ll be commenting on our monthly employment and unemployment rankings by state which are posted on the Free Resources page of the website.

3.  There’s no question that the truly successful investor is constantly learning.  We believe that with all our hearts, and are avid readers ourselves.  We’ll be posting book reviews in categories that include business and economics, marketing, personal improvement, motivational, real estate emerging markets, real estate finance, real estate multifamily, real estate single family, and reading just for fun.  We believe that everyone should have a great book in process at all times.  Most of the time we’ll offer a link to purchase the reviewed book through Amazon or Barnes and Noble.  In the interest of full disclosure - we do generate a few pennies of revenue from each book purchased - we pledge that income will be donated to one of our One Percent for the Planet charities. 

4.  Tracking changes and current news in regional, national, and global economies is another objective we have, and we’ll be posting pertinent summaries of current economic news that impacts real estate investors.  Of note - we have no desire of becoming a breaking news service, and we’ll share with you at some point the news services we follow to glean pertinent news gems.

5.  Another key area of interest will be to track interesting tidbits from the world of finance, and we’ll be posting in finance categories that include asset protection, taxes, as well as special finance issues pertinent to multifamily and single family investing. 

6.  Our Quote of the Day feature is meant to be something fun, and will at times be irreverent, inspirational, and maybe even thought provoking. 

7.  A favorite mentor (Ben R.) has encouraged us over the years to stay up with technological advancements, and we’ll be posting reviews and comments on interesting technological goodies and gadgets we stumble across. 

8.  Coincident to point number three above - we enjoy attending conferences that are informative, inspirational, and useful.  We’ll be posting links to such now and then, and would be glad to post notice of a worthwhile training or educational event at your suggestion (though we reserve the right to edit or reject a submitted / suggested event if it is not in our opinion a fit with our message and mission). 

9.  We have another couple of categories - Take a Break and Websites We Like - that will include fun options to think about, most often content here will probably not be real estate related.  As we’ve shared in our description of our company philosophy in the About Us section of the website, we truly believe you must have a little fun each and every day.

It will take a couple of weeks to compile all the blog data we’ve put on the table, and we trust you’ll find this blog useful and interesting.
