We’ll be adding more writers to this blog over the coming weeks but for now I want to highlight two new contributors and my co-author. First, we’ll start with Michael Lindekugel who is co-author and also my business partner in Team Reba.
Michael’s take in this blog will mostly be focused toward the investor or commercial side of things since he acts as the financial analyst in our organization. His background is in finance and accounting prior to becoming a licensed real estate agent working in our team. Expect to see details about finance, economic factors that impact real estate, property investments, and other scintillating topics such as Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and how to factor it.
Also joining us is Gerald Grinter of G2 Insurance. Gerald knows about all kinds of insurance topics as this is his life’s work – at least for now. He’s also got an interesting background in other fields and he also speaks several languages. Covering both residential, commercial and other business insurance is his game and he’ll cover the field for you in topics that provide insight into these products that help “cover your assets”.
Rounding out today’s additions is Eric Aasness of Countrywide. Yes, he’s a residential lender but don’t let the label fool you. Eric has an extensive background in lending but he is also well versed in economics. We’ve been working with Eric for 4 years now as one of the 3 lenders we refer often, he’s been a tremendous asset to our team and to our clients. Residential lending typically covers 1 – 4 unit dwellings so if you’re considering a single family home up to a 4-plex, he’s your guy. He’s also got a kick butt sidekick, Allison Potter. If you work with Eric you’ll likely also get to meet her and together they are a great team.
