Beach real estate Here is reason number 319 to buy real estate on the Irvine Newport Ranch!

Oscars 2013 and real estate!

Oscars 2013 and real estate!

What do the Oscars have in common with real estate?  Well if you do a good job preparing and maintaining your real estate, out in some good research in choosing your “role” and be patient and wait, you will be thoroughly rewarded with more than you can imagine.

In the meantime, all you have to do is eat healthy, exercise and read good books, you will be in great shape!

Go to www.MichaeDunn.com to search for some rewards.

Perfect Game and Real Estate!

Perfect Game and Real Estate!

Major league pitcher, Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox pitched a perfect game yesterday and here is an excerpt from the chicago Sun Times;

SEATTLE — White Sox righty Philip Humber visited Cooperstown, looked around and was awed.

“I’ve been to the Hall of Fame,’’ Humber, 29, said. ‘‘I’ve seen the stuff that’s there. And now, to think that something of mine is going to be there? It’s pretty awesome. I don’t know what to say about it.’’

Humber artifacts are headed to baseball’s hallowed museum after he pitched the 21st perfect game in major-league history Saturday, beating the Seattle Mariners 4-0 before a national TV audience, an appreciative Pacific Northwest crowd and mentally drained teammates who hung on to every one of Humber’s pitches in the final innings.

“I have never been this exhausted after a game, and I didn’t even pitch,’’ said reliever Will Ohman, who joined a rush of charging pitchers from the left-field bullpen to pile on Humber and other teammates after the last out. “It could not have happened to a better person.’’

“I don’t know what Philip Humber is doing on this list,’’ Humber said. “I have no idea what my name is doing there. But I’m thankful it’s there.’’

 Well, to pitch a perfect game is rare indeed, but in the real estate realm, to make headlines, you can be far from perfect.  You juts need to be consistent.

This is the secret to becoming becoming financially independent in real estate and in any other endeavor.  Philip Humber is consistent in his training and it has brought him to the major leagues.  Pitching a prefect game is a nice bonus, but that is not what Humber is counting on each time he takes the mound.

In real estate, I do not count on prefect appreciation, although it is a nice bonus.  I count on the tenant paying their rent consistently and slowly helping me to pay off the principal. After the principal is paid off, I get a nice income each month.

Best,

George Clooney and Real Estate!

George Clooney and Real Estate!

George Clooney was arrested today at the along with his father in front of the Sudanese embassy in Washington DC, protesting the conditions in Sudan and the impending war and human rights conditions and the arming of rebels by the Chinese government.

 It is amazing what happens when one is a movie star; you get free publicity everywhere.

Equally impressive, is the fact that there are many millionaire real estate owners who you see each and everyday at your local coffee shop or gym.  They look like one of your friends or family members and you would otherwise never guess.

This is the beauty of real estate investing!  ANYONE can do it.  You do not have to be an Oscar award winning actor or a have a PhD in neurosurgery.  You simply have to pay attention to your check book and thing long-term.

I know most of us look for a magic pill or the latest stock to invest in, but truth be told - the safety of real estate is a centuries tested winner.

Call me for details on some great investment opportunities.  In the meantime, check out my latest listings at www.MichaelDunn.com or see below:

The Year of the Dragon!

The Year of the Dragon is one of the most revered years of the Chinese New Year calendar, and those born under the sign are regarded as innovative, passionate people who are colorful, confident and fearless.

Who is the Dragon?

The Dragon is anything but a formidable foe in Chinese culture. Unlike the demon that gets slayed in Western literature, the Dragon is a symbol of good fortune and intense power in Eastern culture. In Chinese tradition, the Dragon is regarded as a divine beast.

Christmas, Chanukah, Holidays and Real Estate!

Christmas, Hanukkah, Holidays and Real Estate!

This time of year, we are always looking for the perfect gift.  The other day I was telling my nephew that he could invest with me on one of my properties.  For $200, he could get a dividend check for $2.70 each month and when I sell the property, he will get .2% of the profits.  He thought about it and said, I would rather buy the 4 x 4 remote control truck at Target.  My nephew is 8 years young!  So this is understandable . . .  BUT . . . there are fully grown adults that have, are and will continue to think like an 8 year old!

So for all you adults out there, here is the greatest shopping list you could ever buy:

The list below gives you some of the greatest investment opportunities in real estate.  The areas located below, have seen the largest increase in real estate values during the last upturn and have only suffered a minimal loss during the latest downturn.  While many experts believe we have surpassed the bottom of the market, nothing is guaranteed, but if indeed this is true, you will be smart to buy in these areas:

Also, here is a latest video tour of a great starter home in the exclusive gated community of Canyon View within Northwood Pointe:

Pearl Harbor and Real Estate!

Pearl Harbor and Real Estate!

December 7, 2011 will mark the 70th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a Naval installation in Hawaii.

My father was 15 at the time, but 2 years later found himself sailing on the Pacific doing his part to protect we future tax payers!  Please take a moment to remember those brave men and women who had their lives stolen that day, as well as others who lost their lives after and since.  It is important to let them know we think of them.

My fathers and other brave men and women’s sacrifice, have enable many of us to pursue our dreams without duress.  Although, I must say, filming this:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGl_j2TNWO8

was more challenging then expected.  Not in the physical sense, but in a mental sense.  You see whenever one tries something new, one risks embarrassment, disappointment, ridicule and maybe loss of self esteem.  I must say, my father at age 85, has inspired me to go outside the proverbial “box” and do what I will.

 As an investor in and a student of, real estate, I feel it is important to do things that will either enhance my listings or improve the value of the offers on my listings.  So, I have started to add my own personality to my listings.  After all, we only have a short time to make an impact.

Here is a list of some of the best properties located on the Irvine Ranch:

The Spear of Destiny and Real Estate!

The Spear of Destiny and Real Estate!

WOW!  The number one search on Google early this morning is The Spear of Destiny.  As background, The Spear of Destiny is the legendary weapon some Christians believe was used to pierce Christ’s side while he hung the cross.

I would have thought the number one search would have been www.NorthwoodPointeIrvine.com or http://www.michaeldunn.com/real_estate_Listing_List.asp considering how low the interest rates are and that we are in a good selling season for investors, particularly from the Asian side of our planet.

 I would like to think that all of us should overcome ‘The Fear of Destiny”!  By this I mean, we all know what we need to do to become successful.  There is no secret; it takes a consistent effort and ‘the monotonous repetition of the basic fundamental skills”. Yet, we become distracted by TV marketing or rumours of short cuts to riches (Bernie Madoff is a prime example).

We all know that the best course for financial independence is to buy real estate; ask anyone.  Ask Warren Buffet!  he bought a home in Laguna Beach in the 1960s for less than $100,000 and sold it 5 years ago for $3.5M.  True, he waited 40 years but assuming you buy your first house at 30 and sell it at 70, you have $3.2M for retirement.  During those 40 years, you are busy living, working and loving, so there is no need for immediate gratification.

Your immediate gratification should be from the joy of doing pull-ups, running and generally travelling around this great planet.

For those of you who are looking for that first investment or wanted to settle down and raise a family for a while, here are some of the best places to live:
