Three Little Pigs Destroy House

Hey guys,

Just saw this story and had to share it with you. Apparently, this homeowner that was facing foreclosure let 3 pigs inside the house to destroy it just before the bank foreclosed. I’ve seen some pretty scary stuff in my day, but I’ve never seen pigs sent to destroy a house.

Is it any wonder why banks want to avoid foreclosing? Check out the video and let me know what you think…

Near Completion

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you an update on the renovation as we are nearing completion, just a tad over my projected completion. Anyway, thought you’d like to see the pics from this deal. Still, a little landscaping and some final touch ups, then we’ll be ready to flip it and get paid.

I initially projected this rehab to run into the ball park of $25K, however I went over about $10K. Even though, I ran into some issues that was completely unexpected, I still have a profit margin of around 20%. I’m listing the house at $117K and expect it to sell fairly fast as the neighborhood has really been buzzing about the renovation and about how fast my crew got it done. Once everything is finished and I have time, I’ll put a little slideshow together for you to see all the before and after pics.

Welcome to Derek Pierce’s New Blog

Howdy,

I’ve been intending to changing my blog up for a while now, yet for some unknown reason I never got around to it. It became extremely frustrating telling someone my website address because just about every time, I would have to spell it out two or three times before the person would finally get it right. I will keep that blog alive just for those that are still reading the posts and because it ranks well with a couple of search engines.

And so, with the new blog, I wanted something I could share my tips to real estate investing, some of my deals along the way, rants on business, and some of my life experiences. Now let me make myself extremely clear, if you’re here to correct my spelling or gramar, then you obviously have waaaayyyyyy too much time on your hands and need to find something else to do- maybe take up crocheting. It’s fascinating, yet irritating, at the handful of people that believe they’re out to change the world by correcting misspellings. So my point is - there will be misspellings and grammar errors as I’ll type on the fly without someone editing. Also, along the way, I may recommend other tools that I believe to benefit you because I still invest in my education and in tools to better my business.

Finally, I wanted this blog to share some of my real world experiences in real estate investing, and business, along with having some fun.

Take care,
Derek Pierce
