One Year Ago This Week (July 2nd – July 8th)
Here’s a quick look at some of my favorite posts from a year ago this week:
• Think Before You Write That Check – My thoughts on why you should be careful before paying for random transactions with a check. (This actually should have gone up in last weekend’s rundown, but I somehow missed it.)
• The Hottest (and Riskiest?) Real Estate Markets – A rundown of the hottest real estate markets as of last summer.
• Buying Furniture off the Back of a Truck – A cautionary note about buying ‘Thomasville’ furniture off the back of a truck that pulls into your neighborhood.
