Carnival of Real Estate Investing at EquityScout.com

The baton passes to EquityScout.com for this week's Carnival of Real Estate Investing.

The real estate investing muse must not have been in full swing this week and the carnival didn't get a lot of submissions. We've been having some beautiful spring weather here in Houston, so if other areas are getting a taste of this as well then perhaps it's getting some bloggers away from the keyboard. Not a bad thing, in my book.

But what this edition lacks in quantity it makes up in quality: Two Bloodhounders, an insurance warning, and a couple of tips for newbies.

------------------------------------------

Brian Brady, America's most opinionated mortgage broker, takes the top spot this week. Brian is moonlighting as guest author at Long Beach Real Estate. Check out his tips on working through the mortgage maze. Part 1 in the series: How To Get The Best Home Loan - Neatness Counts When You Want a Home Loan . Read the rest of the series via the links at the bottom of the page.

Do you have enough insurance? Matthew Paulson asks this questions on the Getting Green blog.

Our second Bloodhound Blogger presents the rant of the week: Jeff Brown laments the proliferation of "advisors" who declare themselves experts after a few hours of classroom instruction. Designations ? Real Education ? Marketing ? Give Me A Break.

Wealth Building lessons offers some common sense pointers for new investors; check out How To Invest In Real Estate .

------------------------------------------

That's it for this week. Got a post you want to share? Submit it to next week's carnival. And you can check out past editions on the blog carnival index page.

The honor is all the more meaningful considering the august company: 1- Jeff Brown always hits the long ball and his post was a great examination of the "experts". 2- Wealth Builder's 6 tips to real estate investing were written well and easy to understand 3- Matt Paulson's advice about hazard insurance should be distributed to every homeowner in America. I lived through the wildfires in San Diego and can tell you that many homeowners just weren't able to rebuild. Thank you for hosting this. I've bookmarked your weblog and have enjoyed the last hour or so of reading

Thanks Brian and I'm honored to have you as a reader. Your opinion has a lot of currency.

What?? No words of wisdom from the Great Noddy Swarby of SLC? He may be busy shilling for Casey Serin, but he always has time for a blog link. I hope he is OK . . .
