Owning commercial real estate requires a lot of hard work, discipline and knowledge in order to create a successful investment. Tenants come in two forms, good tenants and not-so-good (okay, go ahead and say it, “bad”) tenants. There seems to be no middle ground.

Empower Yourself: Secrets to a Healthy Smile
Recently, a woman interviewed me to determine if I would best qualify to become her dentist. Her proactive approach in selecting her healthcare providers impressed me.
