While in my mind I knew exactly why I chose the name bootstrap | economist, I found it challenging to accurately portray my thoughts in words and syllables. I rediscovered a post I made in March discussing my reasons for starting bootstrap | economist, but found that it lacked explanation of how I chose the name: I started bootstrap | economist because I had a lot of ideas and I wanted to set them free on the web. I have been sharing parts of my life online for years, but this was my first time not hiding behind corporate firewalls and forum moderators. I had been keeping an offline journal for several months prior to starting bootstrap | economist, and realized that if I published my thoughts I would have an opportunity to help others and not just myself. a (re)introduction [...] [...] One week ago I had lunch with my marketing and technology infrastructure advisor, and he asked me to describe the name “bootstrap | economist” in my own words.

I came across trulia while completing market research for a potential customer. The site puts together a myriad of data in an easy to use format, that was previously difficult to find. Although the focus is for retail customers, there are a number of tools to aid your search of a potential investment property. My personal favorite is the “heat map” feature which compiles popularity trends on a state level to the neighborhood level for select cities. Data; whichincludes both actual prices and year-over-year percentage changes, can be sorted by average listing price, average sales price, median sales prince, price per square foot, and search popularity.
