What Our Community Is Talking About

**Group Check-In:** Looks like some STEM companies are opening their offices so folks can return early. How many of you are planning to return back to the office? And how many folks are happy with WFH/Flexible Work Arrangements and would like to continue doing so?
**We are looking for bloggers:** I started blogging back in 2013, and my only regret was that I didn't get started earlier. Blogging is a great way to crystalize your ideas, network, and open yourself up to new opportunities. If you would like to write posts for the SVIC blog([svinvestorsclub.com/blogs/](svinvestorsclub.com/blogs/)) about investing, career development, or personal development, reach out to me with your idea and if it's a fit for SVIC, I can work with you to make your blog post a reality. Ping me on Facebook or send me an email at Jordan@svinestorsclub.com if you're interested.
**New SVIC Content:** Five Great Blog Posts at Svinvestorsclub.com
1. My good friend and former colleague at Google, Karen Tsai Paone, wrote an excellent piece on how busy working moms can get started investing in real estate. The piece is fantastic and I highly recommend everyone reads it: svinvestorsclub.com/blog/busy-working-mom-edition-real-estate-investing-guide/ . She also has a blog with the most punny and awesome name www.MOMentswithKaren.com, where she provides simple and effective methods to optimize #momlife. Karen: Good job, I'm so happy to have you write for SVIC and join us.
1. My friend Nicole Sarrate released an awesome blog post about a potential trap investors can fall into when buying foreclosures. I highly suggest you read it: [svinvestorsclub.com/blog/foreclosure-risk-review-the-right-of-redemption/](svinvestorsclub.com/blog/foreclosure-risk-review-the-right-of-redemption/) Nicole: Great job!
1. My pal Kristina Flathers wrote a great piece on how you can select the right market to invest in real estate. I have had people ask me this question quite a few times, and I highly suggest you all read this post: [svinvestorsclub.com/blog/market-strategy-while-investing-remotely/](svinvestorsclub.com/blog/market-strategy-while-investing-remotely/) Also, Kristina has started her own Airbnb Management company called Andes STR ([andstr.com/](andstr.com/)). She's currently doing market research on investors pain points with dealing with property managers and would love it if you could reach out to her to share your story. You can find her post here: [www.facebook.com/groups/2404581259568336/permalink/4605755012784272/](www.facebook.com/groups/2404581259568336/permalink/4605755012784272/) . By chatting with Kristina you'll be able to learn more about her real estate investing endeavors and share with her your property manager pain points, so you both can win.

Popular SVIC Questions & News Articles:
**Robert Blackburn wrote an excellent question regarding your personal cost of capital, which is something all investors should think about. Every investment has an opportunity cost of your time, and you need to weigh the cost of time against other opportunities. You can find his question here: [www.facebook.com/groups/2404581259568336/permalink/4560146770678430/](www.facebook.com/groups/2404581259568336/permalink/4560146770678430/) . Good job Robert!**
