Of First Importance

While this has nothing (per say) to do with home ownership, it has everything to do with myself and my family.  Myself and my family are sinners, and yet Christ-followers, saved by grace (not merit) through faith, freely given to all!  I am eternally grateful for the Son of Man (Jesus Christ) for coming to earth, living a perfect life that I cannot live, dying the death that I should have died and raising us both to life eternal.  Life is not fair.  Praise God!

We all have our personal beliefs and filters through which we see life.  We all have our own set of axioms that we believe (in faith - whether your faith is in science, man, or any religion) and through those beliefs we decide how to live.  As such our decision to go into real estate (and every large and minor decision along the way) is made through our own personal filters - the filter of Christ and our desire to bring him glory every step of the way!

We want to make buckets of money in real estate (and believe that we will)! Yet your purpose in this entire process is to make money to give money away!  We have found not stronger joy than giving of our time and resources to those in need and this vehicle (real estate) is our tool for doing that more and more in the years to come.

So yes, my personal faith may have nothing to do with my house, yet it shapes who I am and the decisions that I make.  So...it actually has everything to do with my house and this blog!  However, this will be my only openly religious (why I hate using that word) post.  If you'd like to learn more, comment or send me an email with questions.  There are plenty of places online as well, try:
