Scott’s Investment Real Estate Blog Reading List

Being an ex-geek (or is it recovering geek?), I try to keep myself up on much of the latest technology [previous to my current career as a Real Estate Agent and Investor, I was the Sr. Director of Information Systems for Caribou Coffee]. I am especially interested in the web, blogging, and search engine optimization.

Many of you know about RSS news feeds, but for those that don’t, it is a quick way to track all of the blogs that you are interested in reading. They are all “fed” to your new reader in a quasi-email type way that allows you to quickly get to each new post without having to go to the individual blog sites. For those that are interested, I wrote a post about how to subscribe to a blog or RSS feed. I personally use Bloglines as my reader.

Now I rarely post about anything other than Investment Real Estate, so you are probably saying: “Where is he going with this!”. I thought it would be interesting if I gave you my suggested reading list of other real estate investing blogs that I read on a regular basis. Many are not Minnesota based, some are funny and entertaining, some are highly educational, others are thought provoking.

So here we go (in no particular order):

St. Paul Real Estate Blog

Minneapolis Real Estate Blog

Kansas City Real Estate Investing

BawldGuy Talking

Twin Cities Real Estate Chat

1 Minute to Rental Property Riches

Carnival of Real Estate

Equity Scout

Flip This Wholesaler

Star Tribune:Homes

Real Estate Investor Girl

The Successful Landlord Blog

Go and take a look at some of these. Sign up for their RSS feed. Read for a while and enjoy.

Scott, thanks for this list. I’m always looking for more real estate investing blogs and have enjoyed reading 1 Minute to Rental Property Riches over the past two days. This guy really gets it in terms of running a successful rental business. Can’t wait to dig into the rest. Cheers!

	Foreclosure Rates Stay Steady, but Serious Delinquencies Decline(0) We have not seen the bottom of this foreclosure market yet. This is especially true in the winter season and an uncertain political climate. While there is a bright note that the FHA has once again waived the Anti-Flipping rule to allow people to rehab homes and sell them quickly there are other gloomy stats. CoreLogic’s [...]

	Low Ball Offers on Foreclosures-Revisited(0) I wrote a post about how to write a low ball offer on bank owned foreclosure properties in September 2010. You can review that low ball REO post here. I think that all of my original thoughts remain. Surprisingly though, I get many questions about this process. One example is that there are 74 comments [...]

	A Terrible Bedfellow(0) I have had two different customers call me in the last 6 months saying that their tenants have found bedbugs in their units. Unfortunately, both of these calls were from customers that owned 4-plexes. It turns out that bedbugs have become an increasing problem in the last couple years. More international travel and the bedbugs [...]

	Great Posts by Other Agents(0) I was reading posts on several of the other agents blogs over the weekend. I found some excellent posts that I wanted to share with anyone that reads this blog. Steve Howe posted a little insider information on his Minnesota First Time Home Buyers blog about how the typical Minnesota MLS search that you find on [...]

	Coming to a REO Near You(3) As we all know, in certain areas, vandalism of vacant houses is almost expected. When I am touring some neighborhoods, I am almost surprised when the copper water lines have NOT been stolen. I saw a house in North Minneapolis a couple years ago that had something that looked like steel plates over the windows. [...]
