It’s Official: Time to Start Thinking About a House

October 5th, 2007

Today, the startup I founded two years ago was acquired. Thousands of hours of hard work paid off in the form of a few bucks, and we’re all extremely humbled to be among the small percentage of startups that haven’t fizzled out and died.

I’m not a big spender and I have no desire to go out and buy a new car, but this is the first time in my life when I’ve been able to even think about buying or building a house. I’ve been living in apartments and condos since college so the prospective of actually owning some land is starting to look more attractive.

This blog will chronicle the process of buying, remodeling, and/or building a modern home from identifying the property right up until moving in.

    As part of a startup myself, I know full well the lows and the highs.

    I have an Uncle who is a Angel VC in the Atlanta Technology market and I have seen for 20 years of my life the incredibly rewarding experience being apart of these endeavors can be.

    Congratulations Mike.

    The irony is at the date of this post was only 4 days after I stepped out fully from the “comfy” & safe job and into the startup environment. I will never regret that.

    P.S. I will buy an airplane, but not because of the lavishness, but because I have always loved Aviation.
