Boise — Real Estate Investing — Seminars
Posted @ 10:46 pm - Filed under Boise, Retirement, seminar
If there’s more than a few places the equal of Boise, I’d like to hear about them. The people can only be described as quality folk. The weather is great — no extremes in winter or summer. The business climate is very positive — and most people are from the old school. What does that mean? It means I made a deal with a developer involving a couple million dollars of property — with a handshake, and I haven’t given it a second thought.
Do that in California. (Turn laugh track on now.)
It’s literally been the easiest place to do business I’ve experienced in almost 40 years. I’m doing tax deferred exchanges as easy as ordering 2 acre cheeseburgers at Big Jud’s. Imagine Mayberry in today’s world with about half a million folks — definitely NOT packed together like sardines. It’s Heaven on earth. That said, we’ll put an office there, but stay anchored in San Diego. After all, it IS San Diego, right? Right.
Later this week I’ll talk about what will be available exclusively to our clients. It’s pretty cool.
Anyway, we’re done with the first seminar, Friday afternoon, and headed toward Big Jud’s for the best burgers west of the that big river in the middle with all the s’s i’s and p’s. We were split about evenly, five adults and five kids. So naturally we ordered three of Jud’s ginormous one pound burgers — two regular, and a Hickory Smoked with bacon and onion rings. Very cool. As you can see, nobody was going to go wanting. Fries, tatter tots, onion rings and all the ketchup a kid could use. That wasn’t all either. Ice cream cones (waffle cones — the best kind) with premium chocolate and what they called Espresso Explosion — it was a spiritual experience.
Of course, slammin’ down great burgers with tons of onion rings and fries, followed closely by waffle cones overflowing with artery locking ice cream, can lead to the need to, ah, slow down? Ya think? I’ve not tasted burgers that good since Grandma made them for me as a kid. Especially the Hickory Smoked option with bacon and onion rings packed in. Man! Why Josh is looking so smug is anyone’s guess, as he ate over half of one those Leviathans — plus fries and onion rings. If the camera hadn’t been there, Lord only knows how much he would’ve eaten.
Chris Niederer, one of two owners, and also a client, came over to grab some much deserved glory. Chris personally whipped up this ode to gluttony. He’s not 30 yet and has owned Big Jud’s for over a decade now, along with his real estate investments. The guy is braver than is safe — which is why I’ve applied the famous BawldGuy brake system as part of his Purposeful Plan.
The last picture I’ll allow to speak for itself. There’s nothing like a child’s ability to live totally in the moment.
Coming this week — investments available to Brown and Brown Investment Properties clients only — in two states. An alternative to your under performing 401(k) and/or IRA. Investing with minimum anxiety from the comfort of your living room.
