Financial Analysis Guy is Moving!!! See ya there!!!
This just in…all new blogging from Kevin Bushbaker will now be located at two different blog sites. All professional blogging from me will now be located at the wonderful www.VegasRealEstateGuy.com blog. This new site will be dedicated to every Las Vegas Real Estate and other fun Las Vegas things. Since I am an investor and specialize all my real estate work as a professional with the investment community, it will definitely have this slant.
Also, since I am a financial analyst by trade and education, you will see tons of this type of analysis as it relates to not only Las Vegas real estate investments, but all real estate in general. Yes, real estate is indeed local, but investing in real estate is universal, global or whatever you want to call it. But how your look at an investment is the same in real estate, as is the stock market, as is bonds or debt instruments, as is a business investment. It comes down to how much return you want on your capital invested for the amount of risk you are willing to take. It is that simple.
Since I am a real estate professional in Las Vegas and know as much about land and investing in real estate as anyone, I thought it was important to focus my blogging efforts on this niche. It will not be as “nichy” as some of the other local real estate blogs out there, but it will definitely focus the efforts more than the Financial Analysis Guy blog towards my true profession at the moment – Las Vegas real estate investments.
This new site will also possess a bunch of fun loving tiff’s and musings on Las Vegas in general. Look, if you have ever been here to visit, which I am sure almost everyone has, you know how crazy it can get here if you simply let your guard down for a few days. Not only how crazy it can get, but just the shear amount to do in Vegas while traveling here or actually living here, can send most people of the “over-stimulated” edge. Not that there is anything wrong with in Vegas – matter of fact, if that doesn’t happen to you at least once while you are here, you are not trying hard enough.
From a more personal perspective on life, visit my namesake blog site www.bushbaker.com. This one is really going to be fun. My wife, Gail, will do her best to post when she can, but it will mostly be my own drivel and musings. This site will be a personal blog that focuses in on the Bushbaker household here in Las Vegas.
Some of the main areas of blogging focus will be:
1. Our amazing new little boy, Jackson Daniel Bushbaker – recently adopted April 2, 2008
2. Our thriving craigslist business and ebay business
3. What is happening around the household
4. Personal finance and increasing our net worth
5. Kevin’s undying efforts to de-clutter his life
6. What it is like to live in Las Vegas
7. Hopefully visiting with as many of you as we can while you are in town
8. Running, biking and hiking around the southwest
9. Roadtrips to Southern California to visit the beach (I am water and wind – Gail is Earth and Fire and I need, not want, but NEED to visit the ocean several times a year)
10. What it was like growing up, living, loving, having all my friends and family, back in my hometown, Detroit, Michigan - I love Detroit, but what a mess right now!!!
11. Whatever else comes to mind
The Bushbaker blog site is selfish…no doubt. I want to learn as much as I can about myself and where I am going in life by reflecting on my observations and writings. I want to learn to write better and get feedback on it. If I can get readers to read and comment, I will learn and hopefully provide better content. It is all about having an open discussion on topics. I WANT everyone’s feedback and comments on things. If I am all wet on a topic and you need to correct me…do it. If you completely agree and want to comment…do that too. If you want a chance to be a guest writer, then send me an email…I want you there. I need to learn and be educated so I can teach the prodigy, Jackson, all about what to do in life and what not to do.
GOODBYE FAG
No…No…No…this is not a bigoted comment or fun British slur. The Financial Analysis Guy (FAG) is going away because it did not capture a few very important things in my writing. The first is the fact that I am indeed a real estate professional first (for now at least) and financial analyst second. I use financial analysis in everything I do and will continue to do so for my real estate investing clients. This is my competitive edge and will continue to exploit this to my advantage. However, being real estate professional means talking about anything and everything real estate. Since I am here in Vegas, and investing in other southwestern states as well, I need to focus those efforts in real estate first……analysis second.
Also, and this is very important, I want readers and others to see the personal side of me and our journey of being parents with our new adopted son, Jackson Daniel. I wanted to write about both, but completely not confuse readers that may have interest one, but not the other. I love getting feedback and this is some I got from the most important person I could think of, my wife, Gail. She is my heart and soul. I am the analytical guy and she is the emotional rock in our lives.
So, feel free to visit our two new blogs, read away, comment, criticize me (but not others on the site) and just have fun with it. I know I will.
Kevin
