I have covered the business of real estate (both residential and commercial) for over twenty-five years. I spent 12 years in the Forbes Los Angeles bureau reporting and writing about as I call it, Adventures in Real Estate. From the first tear-downs turning into mega mansions in Beverly Hills to luxury condos as investments in Las Vegas, I became immersed in reporting and writing about all things real estate. I’ve chronicled investors who have made millions during the boom years and then lost millions when the bubble burst from California to Hawaii to Washington DC. In addition to Forbes, I have penned real estate articles for; Entrepreneur, Washington Times, Kiplinger Personal Finance, Hemispheres, Estates West, Palm Springs Life, Hawaii Investor and the California Association of Realtors. I follow the ups and downs of real estate markets around the country just for the fun of it.
