Actually, I ‘m not sure but I can tell you I’ve gotten a lot of no’s from one of them…I’m not saying which. For many investors the no from the banks can be a serious problem. How can one possibly do real estate investing without a lender or a large amount of money in the bank? There is another way to do it. It is referred to by many as “private money” or a “silent partner”. It simply means that someone other than a b... Why Would Someone Lend Me Money To Buy Their Property? When I first heard about people lending money to facilitate people buying their properties, I was puzzled and asked just that question. I thought people were selling because they needed money and wanted the proceeds from the sale of the property. But then I was looking at it only from my narrow perspective. There is a way of acquiring real estate that can be done with little or no money down and even if you have bad credit. That method is known as “seller financing” or “se... The Twist And Shout For the real estate investor this has a different meaning than for the musician. John Lennon would be shouting also about this concept. What I am talking about in regard to real estate is the twist. It is a way of seeing something in a property that no one else has seen. Let me explain. I frequently come across properties, and in fact I look for properties that have been on the market for a long time and have a big stack of realtor cards on the kitchen counter. What I do i... Guaranteed Cash Flow? Ok, we all know there are really no guarantees in this life except death and taxes. However there are ways to set yourself up in real estate investments so that you have as close to a guarantee as can be had. It seems that one of the hardest things to do in real estate is to have a property in positive cash flow. The general rule of thumb is the 1% rule. You should be collecting at least 1% of the value of your property each month in rents. That means that for a $200k prop... Should You Become A Realtor? Have you asked yourself that question lately? I did and I decided the answer was yes. Let me tell you what led up to it. I have been using realtors to purchase some of my investment properties. The Multiple Listing Services can be a great place to find properties, and one has to be a licensed realtor in the US to access them. I’m not sure what the laws are in other countries, so this discussion will be of only the US. Each time I buy a property, the realtor collects al... Why You Should Invest In Real Estate I am always amazed when I talk with people about investing and real estate. I was at a resort recently with my family and struck up a conversation with a woman about her experience with the resort. As we chatted she mentioned that she was a realtor. I asked if she did her own investments, and to my amazement she said “I wish I could, but I have my money tied up in funds”. I almost drowned in the hot tub! Here is someone who facilitates deals for people in real estate (ass... Making It Through The Ups And Downs Of Home Based Business I’ve been jobless for quite some time now! Am I worried about it? No way. I have decided to take my own destiny in my hands and join the many entrepreneurs in self employment. Not just self-employment, but home based business. What is the difference between self employment and home based business? Just this – if you take a break and go skiing for a week and you make no money, you’re self employed and own your own job. If you make money while skiing, you have a business. ... Get Paid To Surf - The Next Big Thing The latest concept for the internet entrepreneur is pay to surf. Do I mean you get paid to sit on your butt and surf web pages? Yes, absolutely! I know many people would think it impossible to get double digit returns on their money daily, but that is in fact what is promised by these sites. How do they work? The concept is very simple. You establish an account with them and then start surfing. They display pages that others want advertised on a timer of anywhere from 15 t... Doing What Comes Naturally in your Home Business My article is about making sure yuo don't scare people away from your home business, and some of the things to look for. What Matters in Attracting People to Your Home Business My article discusses an important factor in attracting people to your business - knowing where you are going. I give an example of a friend of mine who experienced a slump, then turned it around. The Five Powerful Tools Used by People Who Earn over One Million Per Year at Home Businesses In my experience with home businesses I have been fortunate to be around a lot of successful people who could really assist me with my own success. The reason I jumped out of the work-a-day world to the home based business is because I knew if I found someone who really made the money they claim is possible, then I knew I could do it. Sorting Vs. Selling In this article I want to let you in on something that the top home based business people know. It took me a while to learn it and be comfortable with it. That concept is sorting vs. selling. What do I mean by that? I mean that whatever home based business you are in, you must somehow contact people and communicate with them. If you are thinking that you have to find people and convince them to join your business…good luck! How to Talk to People I am convinced that there would be lots more people involved if they only knew that it wasn’t that hard to do. One of the biggest fears most no-sales and marketing people have is talking to people, and specifically selling. Go ahead and admit it – you don’t have the skills that car salesmen have – well that’s excellent! That type of thing doesn’t work well in other industries and even car salesmen are becoming a thing of the past as the internet brokers and eBay grow in popularity. Facing Your Fears as an Entrepreneur Everyone I have ever talked to that is an entrepreneur has had to come face to face with their fears. I have had to as well. I want to share with you some of the techniques that I have used to face them. The first step is not to be in denial. You have fears even if you don’t readily acknowledge them. They sometimes take the form of that chatter in the back of your head that says you can’t do it. Work From Home and Take Action When you work from home, it is very likely that you are self employed and more likely an entrepreneur. If you are working a job from home this article will not have the importance or impact that it will for the entrepreneur. If you are an entrepreneur that wants to work from home, then I would hope that you’ve done a bit of homework (pardon the play on words). In your homework, you hopefully sat down and thought about what you would like to accomplish as an entrepreneur. If you haven’t done that, then please go to some of my previous articles that are searchable by my name. Home Business Exposure on Yahoo Everyone who has ever been on the internet has heard of Yahoo! If you haven’t, then quit reading and go visit now. Yahoo is such a popular site that my website ranking toolbar from Alexa shows a number “1” under website ranking…that’s popular. So it would probably be a good idea to get some exposure on Yahoo! for your home business. Home Based Business vs. Family Time Ironically, most of us got into the home based business world because we wanted to have more time with family. So how is it that we sometimes have less time? Let’s take a look and see what can be done about it. The promise of having more time with family is one of the major attractions for a home based business, but time has to be carefully managed and guarded. If you are in a regular job working at least 40 hours per week, it can be tough. One thing that must be communic...
