There is a buzz going around about the latest bill that is threatening the way that real estate investors do business. It is sometimes scary that those who are making the laws are out of touch with the reality of the businesses that they effect through their system of government.
Fortunately, we know better. We know that they are not addressing the real problem, but rather they are putting hand cuffs on the wrong people. We have the luxury of operating from the spirit of abundance rather than the spirit of scarcity from which the laws were created.
We need to trust that we will collectively find better and newer ways to conduct business. These laws that have been and will continue to be passed are meant to help, not to hinder. So, they are created in the right spirit, but the letter of the law is not going to be effective. It will, no doubt, keep a few people from conducting real estate transactions and most of those people are the ones that should not be investing in the first place. It is also true that there are some good investors with good intentions that will also find it hard to keep investing. Unfortunately that happens as well.
By and large, the best thing we can do as a real estate investment community is to follow sound business and ethics practices in everything we do. The real estate industry has a black eye right now, and we are all going to pay a little bit of the price. Let's do the right thing and create win-win solutions in every transaction...that is the best way to counter the laws that are coming to us right now.
Good Luck and God Bless America!

Ed Begley, Jr
You gotta love what you do! I can’t imagine doing anything else! I get to talk to the best and brightest minds in the business every day. I wake up in the morning and the first thing that pops into my head is…I GET to do this again! A few months ago, I had the opportunity to interview Ed Begley, Jr about his relationship with the green industry and it was so refreshing to talk to him. The guy is a regular guy and was very easy to settle down with and talk to.
It seems like that is the essence of success. Loving what you do and doing it with passion. Ed is all over the place, working here and there and supporting different companies and products and it finally occurred to me that this is a guy who loves what he does. You can’t be that active and busy and hate what you do…it just doesn’t work. In fact, it would drain you…but we have all me those people who seem like the more that they do, the more energy they have. Amazing isn’t it? Not if you step back and think about what is really happening. You can either give energy or get energy…and when you are doing something you love to do, you are attracting energy to you. When you are engaged in something you don’t love, you are contributing energy, with out getting any in return.
There are many lessons to learn from Ed, but the main one is to love what you do! Thanks Ed, we enjoyed speaking with you!
