Buy the house right. Then keep it from falling apart.

Buying a home is only half the job. The other half is keeping it in good shape once it's yours.


The Home Buyers / Owner's Companion Set puts both of my guides in one checkout:


  • Home Buyers Mind Set: a negotiation system and the Stealth Walkthrough to spot deal-killers before you risk earnest money.

  • The Homeowners Preventive Maintenance Guide: a 12-month, Florida-ready maintenance plan for the Big Three systems, hurricanes, and humidity.


Both guides for $64 instead of $68 separately. Instant PDFs.

Planning a paint job? Know your numbers before you buy a gallon

Painting your own place? SP 600 Smart Paint Estimator is built for DIYers. Work out how much paint you need, what the job will cost, and how long it should take, whether it's one room, the whole house, or the exterior.


It's simple, practical, and built from the same approach as SPAWN 600, my professional estimating system.

Before you make an offer on a house, ask these 15 questions

After 30 years as a contractor, I've seen the same mistakes cost buyers thousands: seller pressure, defects nobody mentioned, flood and mold claims, surprise HOA assessments. So I put the 15 questions I'd ask at every showing into one free checklist.


Print it, take it with you, and walk away if the answers don't hold up. No earnest money until you know.

A million dollars is not a personality. It is arithmetic.

Most money advice is a story. Mine is a spreadsheet.


After 30 years as a contractor and business owner, I got tired of watching people wait for a windfall. Assets, liabilities, cash flow, compounding — that is the whole game. You either run the numbers or the numbers run you.


That is why I wrote A Million Dollars is Math. No guru talk. No secret. Just the formulas I used when the work had to pay the bills.


If you want practical books for real life — money, home, the decisions that actually matter — that is what OWM Publishing is for.
