My Published Writings (Books, Courses, & Blogs)

I've created entire real estate courses and college textbooks (residential and commercial real estate, legal, and mortgage topics) for some of the best-known real estate schools and educational firms in the state and nation (30+ states), including the Top 2 largest real estate educational firms in America; the first online California real estate school; and the oldest real estate school in California. Because I write the real estate courses for real estate and financial professionals, I can effectively work with them and their clients throughout the entire purchase or listing transactions. 

Between 1998 and 2008, I was the most published author for AD Kessler's Creative Real Estate Magazine. For the May 2006 cover story, the same national publication featured me on the cover under the heading of A Creative Financier for their main story that month. This publication was one of the most famous national real estate publications in America over the past 50 years.

Please look for my articles on Creative Real Estate Online (I was their most published author for at least five years; CRE Online, which is not affiliated with Creative Real Estate Magazine, was generally considered as one of the top real estate investing websites in America for many years -  www.creonline.com), REI Wealth Monthly {a highly respected digital real estate and investment magazine specifically designed for Apple products such as the iPad, iPhone, and iPod (http://reiwealthmag.com/blog/)}, the REI (Real Estate Investing) Club website (www.reiclub.com), Realty 411 Magazine (http://www.realty411.com), Think Realty https://thinkrealty.com/, The Scotsman Guide (www.scotsmanguide.com - this has been ranked as the #1 most read mortgage publication in America), additional national mortgage, real estate, and investment publications, and in other blogs, websites, newspapers, investment newsletters, and magazines.

The Armed Forces Dispatch and Navy Dispatch (same media group), which is the largest and oldest military publication on the West Coast for Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard personnel, published and shared online my article entitled The Benefits of the VA Mortgage Loan Program. Article link here: https://pdf.ac/1AsAxS

Please also look for my articles and ads that have been included over the years in The Palisades Post, The Beverly Hills Courier, The Argonaut (Marina Del Rey), The Log Newspaper, The Daily Breeze, Canyon Lake Insider, Friday Flyer, and on Patch.com.
