I don’t really like to mince words, especially when I talk about business. It’s something I learned long ago in the real estate business – shoot straight and customers will respect you.



So with that in mind, let me write to you as clearly as I can: I know investing your money is frightening. I remember my first investment in a little four-plex in California when I was just 22-years-old. And believe me, I didn’t have a lot of money. It was a risk. But like the old saying, nothing ventured, nothing gained.



Then there’s the adage about investing: There are no guarantees. Well, not so fast. When I began laying the foundation for Nexregen, I knew it would be a hurdle to get people to invest money, because I clearly remember sweating out my first check for that four-plex.



That’s exactly why I decided to add this particular benefit to those who chose to invest with me in Firewheel Village:



- A one-year, no questions asked money-back guarantee.



So there it is in black and white. No mincing words, no double talk.



And the only thing I want you to read between the lines is this: We want you – the small investor – on our team. We want you to be with us in this to win, to take advantage of opportunities, to prosper and to build wealth.

If you’ve heard it once you’ve heard it a gillion times -- location is key in real estate.

Yes. True enough. And while you hear plenty about location, something you don’t hear a lot from executives is the real heartbeat behind location: people.

When I first began looking at properties what I was really looking for was traffic flow of consumers – who really make the economy tick.

I asked where the people were – and would be in the future – in relation to Firewheel Village .

Firewheel immediately made the short list mostly because it’s positioned to bring in shoppers by the droves. Why? Because President George Bush Turnpike has been extended to Lavon Drive . What’s more the North Texas Tollway Authority is starting construction this year to extend the turnpike. And there are some very attractive neighbors: Macy’s, Dillards, AMC Theaters, Kohls, Home Depot, Albertsons, Lowe’s, Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Target and Office Depot.

And we’re not talking just any consumers, we talking 227,000 people who have an average household income of $81,000 within 5 miles of the property.

Believe me, if I learned anything during my 40-plus years in real estate – it was that location is paramount. But now you know it’s people that make all the difference.
