Will the Real Estate Investor Please Stand Up?

After months of hard work, we have arrived at the moment when we can engage with our customers and present our real estate community to them. This is still a soft launch, and we will be adding new features all the time. But what we have here is the beginning of something great. I would like to extend a special thank you to my partner Stan, who has helped me form the vision for this community, as well as to Alex, Dmitry and Igor, who have been and continue to be hard at work in the Ukraine, bringing this vision to reality.

What is MeetMOJO? We are a community for real estate investors, dealmakers and real estate professionals. We are not just another social network. We use information that our users tell us about themselves to smartly connect them to other investors and real estate professionals. All investors need a great team! We are creating a community of transparency, where users can use our tools to find the partners with the absolute best fit for their project, and where peer feedback matters.

In this time of turmoil in the mortgage markets, we are arming our users new ways to finance their projects. Using our deal platform, our users (dealmakers) can find private investors to back their projects, and private investors can back the dealmakers whose track record they trust. Our platform provides an extremely transparent way for both parties to get to know each other and start the process of due diligence.

We also have a property analyzer tool MOJO Crunch, which spits out sample cash flows for a particular zip code. Try it out!

Now the fun work starts! We are dedicating ourselves to building a community of passionate users, who understand the impact that technology and the transparency that it brings, can make on a market that has been anything but open until just a little while ago.

So enjoy! Sign up for an account, and tell all investors, real estate professionals and dealmakers to come visit us. We are very open to feedack, so please leave some feedback for us. That’s how we learn and continue to make MeetMOJO a community that you love and trust.

Sincerely yours,

Maria Ogneva

As a self-employed entrepreneur, I currently do not have health insurance (I am working on a solution, no worries). I got a little sick a couple of weeks ago and needed some medical attention. So I did a search on the web to find an alternative to a doctor’s visit. I pretty much knew what the issue was, and just needed to confirm with a test and get a prescription. But I didn’t feel like paying an arm and a leg for a 10-minute visit. I also didn’t feel like sitting in a free clinic waiting for service all day.

My research turned up this wonderful place called the Minute Clinic. They are basically little mini-offices staffed with nurse practitioners. The services that they provide are, of course, limited. But if you just need a quick, cheap visit for a common cold, flu, strep throat, and some others, this is the place! It is, indeed, very affordable for someone without insurance. Each visit is $59, and there may be a nominal charge for extra diagnostic tests. For example, a test for strep is $10. So the whole visit comes out to a whopping $69! And they even take insurance, if you have it.

This little facility lives up to its name for sure. It was the fastest doctor’s visit I ever had. There was nobody in line in front of me; I just signed in, and my name got called within a couple of minutes. Which is always great when you are sick and are running a fever. You just want to go in and right back out, and back home to cuddle up with a cup of soup.

Just as impressive as the speed and the price was the sign-in process. You go up to an automated touch-screen kiosk. You fill out your name, address, and some other data points, click on a couple of allergies and ailments, and you are done. When you are done, it tells you your place in line. When you are called into the office, all the information you filled out gets transferred to the nurse’s computer. What a great use of technology! No messy paperwork or anything of the sort! I have never seen this in a doctor’s office. I was truly impressed. The only drawback is the sparsity of these facilities. They are located inside select CVS stores, and I had to drive 30 minutes just to get to the nearest facility. I am sure their plans include building this facility out to be placed inside more pharmacies.

In this day and age, with skyrocketing healthcare costs and broken insurance systems, it’s great to see someone creating an easy, affordable solution to the problem. Minute Clinic is not a cure-all, but rather a beginning, a baby step. This baby step is definitely in the right direction.
