From Real Estate Investment Blog, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Time management is an issue for many on both a personal and professional level. Author Brian Tracy makes it clear that the important piece of time management and prioritizing is not completing every task (because you never will!) but rather finding the most challenging tasks and getting those done first.

Half of all homeowners may be paying too much.  Here’s what you can do about it. Home prices are still going down in many markets. But your property-tax bill might well be going up. The good news: There are ways to fight back. Property taxes across the U.S. have increased by nearly 20% from 2005 to 2009, the most recent data available, according to an April study by the National Association of Home Builders.

The New Real Estate Boom

From Real Estate Investment Blog, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Home prices and sales may be flat, but the rental industry is booming. The percentage of renters is on the rise, the number of households is increasing, and more Americans are downsizing, all of which point in a single direction: rents are on the rise. At the peak of the housing boom, home ownership in America reached an all-time high at 69.2%. Today that number has plummeted to fewer than 67%, which may not sound like a huge drop, but that represents roughly 3 million households... Read more

Build Your Real Estate Dream Team

From Real Estate Investment Blog, 8 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Many entrepreneurs believe that, if you want something done right, do it yourself.  Personally, I believe that is the rationalization of control freaks unwilling to delegate. In reality, your dream team will help you reach your financial goals faster than you ever can alone. Sure, you can find motivated sellers and build a great buyer’s list on your own, but other tasks require the expertise of others. Some of the members of your team should include: real estate agents, who can bring... Read more

National Economic Outlook (August 2011)

From Real Estate Investment Blog, 9 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Jobs, jobs, jobs! That’s what we’ll hear from now on through the 2012 election, and rightly so. Although they claim otherwise, Wall Street and the Big Banks are not the essential, indispensable, must-be-bailed-out part of the national economy: it’s people with jobs.  Those people account for 70 percent of the economy (the government is 20 percent). As we’ve already seen, those people aren’t spending very much money these days, needing no more time-share condos,... Read more
