Procrastination & Real Estate

Colorado is different than the rest of the country.  Our real estate market has been soft for quite some time and now that everyone else is starting to follow, we are due for a rebound.  My question to anyone that needs a place to invest in real estate but is just at the beginning stages of their research……. buy here and now!!! 

Rather than dangling a carrot in front of your face with my personal insights into our market, read the borrowed piece below, then call me. 

The Procrastinators

I’d hesitate to make a list
of all the countless opportunities missed.
Bonanzas that were in my grip
I watched them through my fingers slip.

The windfalls which I should have bought
were lost because I over thought.

I thought if this, I thought of that
I could have sworn I smelled a rat.
And while I thought things over twice
another grabbed them at that price.

It seems I always hesitate,
and make my mind up much too late.
A very cautious man am I
and that is why I never buy.

When others culled those sprawling farms
and welcomed contracts with open arms
A corner here, ten acres there,
compounding value year by year,
I chose to think and while I thought
they bought the deals I could have got!

The golden chances I had then
are lost and will not come again!
Today I cannot be enticed


for everything’s so overpriced!
The opportunities of yesteryear are dead
the market’s soft and so’s my head.

At times a teardrop drowns my eye
for opportunities I had, but did not buy.

And now life’s saddest words I pen…
If only I’d invested then!
