Fun Projects

We’re getting back to our “high tech” roots and publishing more web sites – it’s been a challenge keeping up but we enjoy doing research online and learning about various topics.  Funny thing is, I (Amber) wanted to do web site development and multimedia publishing when I graduated from Berkeley over 10 years ago! Oh well, better late than never.

David just posted a review of his 2009 site stats (his first full year of blogging) on his personal blog DavidOverfield.com. I selfishly encourage him to blog more so that he can share his insights and stories with more people and not take up hours of my time when I’m trying to get work done :-)

David has been shooting videos of houses bought at the foreclosure trustee sales and the actual live auction – you can find these videos on his YouTube channel and posted at AccessWealthStrategies.com. I’m getting used to video editing but find that it takes more time than I would like.

Most recently, David interviewed John Ray, a local (Phoenix area) expert at buying foreclosure properties at the Maricopa County trustee sale auction. The full interview is posted here: Interview with John Ray: How to Get a Good Deal on a Foreclosed Property at the Trustee Sale Auction and Avoid Common Mistakes. Or, if you’re lazy, just click pay below to watch all 4 parts of this information packed video interview (about 36 min. total).

We believe distressed assets are a major opportunity and hard money lending a good way to take advantage of it. So we’ve been working with a group of friends on flipping houses bought from Phoenix foreclosure trustee sales.

We’re also working on more “expert interviews” to be posted on AccessWealthStrategies.com – please subscribe and stay tuned!

Back to Basics

by Amber on February 5, 2010

in At Home,News & Updates

Wow the first month of 2010 went by so quickly we barely noticed :-)

  • We had a full month of no traveling, which was a nice change, after getting back from visiting our parents in southern CA.
  • This year our major goal is: SIMPLIFY. We did the big house with the big yard in the suburbs for 3 years, had a big real estate portfolio, traveled almost every 4-6 weeks, and we tried to run multiple businesses without being able to focus on any one of them.
  • Now, we’re living in this rental condo in Scottsdale that’s 1/3 the size of our TX house, with no yard to maintain and nothing to worry about when we do travel. We’re pleasantly surprised that we love this living arrangement a lot!
  • We’ve been cooking more too – which is something we always wanted to do but for some reason didn’t do as frequently when we had a very nice kitchen in our big house. David thinks it’s because this place feels “cozy”. Whatever the reason, it’s a positive development.
  • I’m also happy to find a local Chinese market to buy groceries and snacks; less than 30 min. drive whenever I miss “home food”.
  • It’s been nice living in Scottsdale – the weather is wonderful in the “winter” except for a few bouts of rainstorm last couple of weeks.
  • David has found a group to play ultimate Frisbee with every weekend. He’ll probably look for a hockey team to join too.
