The real estate blog.

I’ve been a bit neglectful in a couple of things. Every week I submit a post to one of three blog carnivals I’ve been frequenting.

Sometimes they get accepted, sometimes they don’t. Usually I make a post here when they do, part homage, part blog etiquette. Since I’ve failed to post recently about them, I’ve not only been neglectful, I’ve been rude. So here we go…

Last week on the Carnival of Real Estate:
Marlow at 360Digest liked my post about real estate agent tricks.

This week I didn’t do so well. My post on trusting real estate agents didn’t “cut the mustard.” Fortunately, the Carnival lists the also rans as well.

I’ve been more successful with the Carnival of Real Estate Investing. My last two posts there have been accepted. Last week, Delaware Ohio real estate liked my challenge to Russ Whitney. This week Bigger Pockets liked my wrap up of economic statistics.

I’m still waiting the outcome for my submission to the Festival of Investing. They took a long break for the hollidays. In fact, I can’t even remember which post I submitted.

I’ve been thinking of creating a Carnival of my own. Are there any bloggers interested in contributing to a Carnival about living in Utah or Salt Lake? Let me know and I’ll set it up. I’m thinking it should be about life in Utah, not necessarily restricted to housing or real estate. What do you think? Submit a comment and let me know.

In other news, I finally wrote the outline for my real estate SEO ebook. I had some things happen offline that distracted me from finishing on the date I set. On the other hand, those offline things have freed me up to spend additional time on writing.

I’m working hard on my thesis of “Why It’s Different This Time” regarding real estate and U.S. economic indicators. This will be a multi-part series and I plan on having the first post made tomorrow.
