I have been investing in real estate since 2001.  My blog, http://www.RealEstateInvestorGirl.com gives educational articles and opinions on the real estate market and investing.  I started the business and the website http://www.KCRealEstateSolutions.com because of the needs in the housing market of the new economy.  This company makes the process of a short sale more streamline for homeowners, and real estate agents.
