Real estate investors make their money in a variety of different ways. One way to make money is to go through the traditional route of selling your home to a buyer and another way would be to have a Riverside real estate investment fixed up and then sell it in the real estate market. The most popular way to make money in real estate now-a-days is either renting houses or giving rent-to-own offers on houses.

In the most general terms we’ll talk about the buying and selling strategy for investing in property. Investors usually make their profit by buying low cost homes at wholesale price and reselling them at a higher price to other buyers. The property can remain in the investors’ possession for a period of a few days up to one year, before you find a buyer. Let’s talk about the most common buy and sell methods like assigning a contract and rehabbing a Riverside real estate investment that all are straight forward and popular with investors of all types.

When assigning a contract, you have to find affordable homes owned by homeowners who want to sell them fast, and so, you get these homeowners to adhere to the terms of the investors’ agreement to purchase. Having the homeowners under contract will make it easier for you, the investor, to look for a buyer who will give the earnest money that is needed for the right to buy that home. This method works best with a well-developed network and when the investor has several buyers on hand but if this is not the case, renovation on a property might be a better strategy. This involves buying a rundown house and renovating it before putting it in the real estate market.

Flipping is another buy and sell method that may prove to be simpler than having a complete renovation. Investors will buy a house that needs little repairs, have it look good through repainting and maybe refurbishing so as to look very presentable to buyers. House flippers really only want to hold a house for a few months at most. They are always keeping an eye on their schedule and available budget.

Investors also make use of buy and hold strategies such as landlord management and rent-to-own. If you want to be the landlord of your property, you have to get your property fixed so you can rent it to tenants so the property will generate a regular income. This strategy will give an investor regular earnings but you will be more involved with home maintenance as a landlord, so the rent-to-own method may be a better option for you. You also earn a monthly income under the rent-to-own scheme but because you have an agreement with the tenant that he/she will pay off the house in the future, home maintenance issues will be taken out of your hands.

These are ways an investor can have income through real estate, the best of which would be the rent-to-own scheme. It is the investor’s decision whether to rent the Riverside real estate investment or if he wants to be a house flipper. This has probably opened your eyes on how much profit that investor makes on rent-to-own and other investment homes.

I would like to share some useful information about one of the most successful strategies today for retaining and building your customer relationships, and that is Voice Broadcasting. Voice Broadcasting incorporates all the things your clients like about personal, relationship-building marketing without all the things you dont like. Just in case youre not familiar with all of its capabilities, let me explain how it works.

You start with a database of phone numbers for people with whom you already have some sort of relationship. Next, you write up a short, but motivating message that you want to leave them. Something like: “Hi, this is Michael Jagger, from Re/Max Alliance. I’m calling because I wanted to tell you about a special Foreclosure Property Listing program we’ve instituted for our top clients. We’d like to offer you a 15% discount on admission to this program. All you have to do to qualify for this price break is call our 24 hour, toll-free recorded message line at 855-666-5555. If you listen to this message, within 48 hours you’ll get the secret password that will get you access to this discount. You can also find this secret password on our web site; www.michaeljagger.com. Thanks for being such a good client.

Your message is recorded using a regular phone. Next, you then email your list of recipients to the company that provides the Voice Broadcasting service, and your message gets sent to the list of numbers you provided. The message is sent during a specified time of day, when your prospect is least likely to be home and your message is most likely to be picked up by voice mail.

Your prospects just received a personalized message from you, without you having to call anyone! They weren’t harassed by a sales call, you didn’t waste time with someone whos not interested and they can replay the message at their leisure to collect the pertinent info when it suits them. Incidentally, if a live human answers, the system simply says Oops, sorry! and hangs up! No one wants to bother them, and this system prevents that completely!

So, in summary, you have short, but powerful messages that you can send to literally thousands of people at one timewithout any work except for the 30-40 seconds it takes to record your message. There are endless ways you can use this system to explode your profits. Business owners are using this system every day!

The advisor can begin to assess your current financial situation and to help you make some important decisions concerning your investments. Information gathered can be used along with current and past market trends.

A financial advisor does for an individual what a financial analyst does for a company. The advisor offers the individual a wide variety of options that can help them meet their goals financially. The recommendations made will depend on several factors such as years you will remain working, current assets and comfort in investing in high risk options.

Once the advisor collects his information from his client, he will assess the goals of the client. He makes a comprehensive plan that will identify areas where there are problems, recommend improvements to be made and recommend investments that will help the client reach his goals before retirement age.

While some advisors will provide a written plan, most simply give verbal advice. At least one time each year, the advisor meets with clients who are established in order to give updates on possible new investments and to see if there have been any life changes that may have affected the goals they have financially. Life changes that may change goals include such things as disability, marriage or retirement.

An adivsor is able to answer questions that concern your retirement such as changes to the benefit plan. In addition, he can advise you concerning career changes or job changes. The successful planner is also an educator that informs you of risks and outcomes of certain strategies of investment. He should prevent you from developing unrealistic expectations about your investments.

The Atlanta Financial Advisor can help you to be more sure of your retirement future.

It is becoming harder and harder to capture the millions of buyers who are shopping for products, goods, and services. The business world is becoming a competitive place and you have to take action to get your piece of the pie and keep it. Sometimes getting customers to walk through your doors can be easy, but keeping them coming back does take work. Do not take for granted they will come back. That is the benefit to using customer loyalty cards. This great marketing tool helps drive customer satisfaction and retention if launched right.

If introduced right this type of promotion can have a big impact on your business and gaining a loyal customer. After all, that is what the concept is all about. The first thing that will be valuable with this type of program is in its very first stage you will be able to understand who your customer is. Through your sign up program or application form you can secure demographic information that will tell you the geographical location, brands that they like, how they like to shop, and possibly their age, the gender, and more.

Without the knowledge of realizing who the customer is you may launch an incentive that does not meet their need or their interest. In this case it would be a costly mistake of spending money on a full-fledged marketing campaign with no results as you had expected. If done correctly, you will not only increase your new customer base, but will boost your customer retention of the key decision makers who shop.

If you take a poll, many consumers will respond that the most beneficial rewards they can get for doing business with a merchant is points that add up to more merchandise. Many stores are offering cards that accumulate points towards cash back. Customer loyalty cards can open the doors to a lot of creativity. They can be used for travel rewards and points that can be redeemed at other participating sponsors.

Restaurants are famous for card bonuses. Consumers in many cases have grown tired of the buy two and get one free. After all, it may cost a lot of money to get two meals, so you are really paying for the third one. Other offers include by a meal and get a drink free. As prices continue to rise, the shoppers are looking for more.

Some of the most effective and most welcomed customer loyalty cards include those promoted by hotels and motels, book stores, grocery stores, entertainment and movie rentals. These offers will usually earn you points pretty quickly that result into a wanted reward like a free hotel night, a free movie, a free book or seventy five percent off of your next purchase.

Introducing rewards of this caliber that area easy to redeem will develop a customer that wants to come back. The easier and understandable the reward achievement program is the better. They will also promote it to others.

To add more customers to your base and increase your bottom line to enjoy bigger and better profits, customer loyalty cards can be the right answer. This is a great way to turn a one-time shopper into a valued and frequent patron.

Looking for retail marketing techniques to improve sales and customer loyalty?? Why not try using a proven reward program program?

What Can A Collections Company Do If I Don’t Pay Up?

March 11, 2010 by Mallory Megan · Leave a Comment

There are two useful tools that a collection company can actually do that a debtor should be worried about. These involve negative information being reported to the credit bureaus, and the unlikely probability of a lawsuit.

Third party collection agencies have the capacity to report a delinquent account to one or more of the credit bureaus, as a “Collection Account,” that includes the amount, and whether it was paid or Refused to pay. Paying off a collection account will not result in the item being removed from the consumer’s credit reports – it will simply be marked “Paid in full.”

Collection agencies have the authority to report debts with money owed that they have bought as well as debts that they are working on contingency. Also, a collection company may request a debtor’s credit report, in order to get an idea of his/her general financial situation, and to get an updated address and phone number.

Collection accounts are subject to the normal 7 year time limit for appearing on a credit report. As specified in Section 605 of the FCRA this time limit is based on the date of the original delinquency. If the debt still belongs to the original creditor, a third-party collection agency is unable to file a lawsuit. But if the balance is large, the debtor is being resistant, and if there are indications that the debtor has assets that are vulnerable, the agency might send the account back to the creditor with a recommendation to sue. Each creditor has its own criteria for the decision; for example, the amount must be substantial (often $1500 or more, at the very least.)

Collection companies try not to send too many accounts back, because it suggests that they aren’t very good at collecting debt. Letters and telephone calls are a lot less expensive than going to court. If an agency has bought a debt, then they have the ability to sue, but by that time, the debt is likely to be rather old, and the agency doesn’t have much invested in it. Fear and intimidation are a collectors cheapest tools, since those things can work much more quickly, cheaply, and efficiently than filing suit.

Take Your Company Public On The OTCBB, NASDAQ, Reverse Merger: Must Read!

March 11, 2010 by James Scott · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Finance 

Our firm takes small companies and industry genre leaders public in the United States. We specialize in the OTCBB, A to Z facilitation as well as NASDAQ IR and strategies consulting. We work with global corporate entities from Greece to China, from South America to Europe. I say this not to boast or market myself but to give you some comfort that what you are about to read is based purely on experience and absolutely objective and if you are about to take your company public or trying to turn-around or restructure your public entity, this information will be of tremendous help to you.

I see companies rise and fall before and after the ‘going public’ process. Some companies have great ideas and constantly struggle, some are hardly worth their weight in pocket fuzz but thrive and to understand why we must step back and look at a public and pre public concept as you would a globe that you can set on a desk and spin slowly over and over again. Stand on the desk and kneel on the ground, stand on your hands if you have to and the point of this exercise is to look at your public entity from every imaginable angle searching for any and all chinks in the armor.

Think past the basics of going public. Any informed CEO, COO or CFO of a pre or post public entity will comprehend the basics: you’ll have a first round seed capital raise, you’ll need a solid board of directors and solid executives with an appealing pedigree, your company needs a viable and yes, ‘recession proof’ product or service. You need a solid pre public corporate publicity strategy to make your company stand out like a blinding beacon with strategies that wrap around the corporation as well as each executive to increase the market awareness of their existence in the industry power structure and of course you’ll need solid and massive post public investor relations to stabilize and grow that stock price.

Now here is something that you may not have taken into consideration but is a necessity to filling in the gaps of your corporate profile as well as strengthening those invisible inferiorities in the corporate armor. Political power structure contacts are a must. Yes, political in every sense of the word. I mean you need strong contacts in your operating country’s political electoral system of influence to gain access to those ‘no bid’ contracts. It’s a mandatory evil that separates the men from the boys. Get to know lobbyists, congressmen, political attorneys, senators and most importantly get on a first name basis with the direct executive assistants for each of these players as they are the ones that will make the introductions.

Your face needs to be seen in the papers and journals alongside of these power players. Your name needs to be mentioned in cigar filled rooms where these individuals congregate. Don’t think for a second that hard work, blood sweat and tears will get your company to the next level; it’s all about connections and the public conception of you and your company.

Simultaneously you need to take into consideration the social political conception of your company. Truth be told, celebrities and corporations get involved with charities and socially conscientious callings such as Poverty Awareness, Haiti Financial Assistance, African Relief and like strategies not necessarily because they have a spiritual awakening and want to make the world a better place.

These companies are piggybacking off of the free press and the social idea that free money to charity somehow justifies the means in which they earned it. Free handout charity affiliation has a way of wiping the slate clean and telling the public that if they buy your product or use your service they are, in some strange way, making the world a better place and instantly something that was once considered a guilty pleasure (such as a $5 coffee and $8 scone from Starbucks) is now a socially responsible action because .02 cents per $20 net profit intake goes to pay for coffee beans that grow in a third world country that is trying to ‘get by’ and grow organic, whatever.

Going public is one thing, staying public is something entirely different, staying public and profitable is almost unheard of. Increase your chances of success by looking at all the angles!

The State Of The Boise Idaho Real Estate Market

March 11, 2010 by Gavin J. King · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Finance 

It looks like the news the last few years has beaten the dead horse of this real estate crunch, and the conditions in the Boise Idaho real estate market is no different. With the latest numbers indicating that there is no real improvement in sight, homeowners in the area are starting to wonder when and if it will happen. The situation has demanded some very fast action from authorities, and they have done what they can with the markets reacting accordingly.

The smaller homes are selling the best in the Boise Idaho real estate market, and it is not due to anything other than buyer preference. With sales rates slowly creeping up, this winter is turning out to be a decent year, once you factor out the slower time of season it is. The introduction of the federal governments first time home buyer tax credit lifted the market and set appreciation standards no seen in a few years. The latest jump in appreciation over the summer was due almost exclusively to the tax incentives granted by the federal government.

The next strata of home prices is the tier 2 homes which are between about two hundred and four hundred thousand dollars, and they do seem to be selling at very slow rates right now. With financing getting easier to get due to the return of appreciation and consequently primary mortgage insurance, numbers should pick up soon. New homes construction is very sluggish within this area of the market with home buyers aiming at purchasing energy efficient floor plans that are smaller in size right now.

The jumbo loan market is reporting higher than expected defaults, so luxury housing in the Boise Idaho real estate market is not doing so great either. This increase in default or foreclosure will cause primary mortgage insurance rates to go up and begin to exclude many buyers consequently.

Many home buyers are going after the homes with acreages so that is causing a small surge in the Boise Idaho real estate land market, including acreages, development and building lots. With lot sales being nearly completely tied to new home construction, as one goes so go the other. The rate of sales of real estate developments has been markedly slow because real estate developers simply cannot get financing to complete their projects.

The winter always sends a chill over the real estate market, but this year Boise home buyers will be working on making sure to get a home under contract in time for the first time home buyer credit deadline of April. Past that we may see a slow down over the course of this summer, especially if rates rise and markets do not improve.

What Can A Collection Agency Do And Why Do Debtors Pay?

March 11, 2010 by Mallory Megan · Leave a Comment

When speaking with a debtor, many collectors (especially those without much experience) will use a script, which contains a pre-written introduction, request for payment, and has various branches to follow, depending on how the debtor responds. If one debtor in particular is taking up too much time without making arrangements to repay the debt, the collections agent may be inclined to move on to other accounts. Any information that the debtor gives about his/her financial situation (e.g. income or current employment, etc.) will be recorded on the file’s record and used to estimate the probability of a recovery, the advantage of legal action, and so forth.

So what can a debt collections company do? If they are working the debt for one hundred percent commission, they will send some more demand letters and make more telephone calls. Also, they can mark the item as negative with the credit bureaus. If they are working on contingency, they can recommend filing suit, or if they own the account, they can file suit. However, the actual chances or intentions of this are often significantly less than they try to suggest to the debtor.

Collection companies can not legally seize a debtor’s assets, bank accounts, or garnish wages unless there has been a successful lawsuit already that comes with a judgment awarded in their favor. Collection agencies can’t legally make any kind of public announcements or disclosures concerning the debt, except to the credit bureaus.

Debt collection companies can’t legally cause a debtor to be fired from his or her place of employment. Collection companies can not legally engage in any type of physical violence or threats thereof.

Why does a person in debt pay? A number of times the reasons include guilt, intimidation, fear and a lack of knowledge of the legal remedies available. Plus it is the right thing to do. The debtor may feel guilty and ashamed of being a “deadbeat,” and may perceive a judgment of his/her value as a person. The debtor may have greatly exaggerated ideas about what collectors are (legally) capable of doing, and may have outdated stereotypes in mind.

The debtor may be overwhelmed by the aggressive and relentless demands, from companies that may seem so powerful. S/he may take it personally, and assume that great individual attention is being given to this particular collection file. Customers being contacted by collection companies are usually in serious financial distress, and under emotional pressure about the general situation, so they may be confused and defenseless.

Stock Secured Loans And Stocks Loans

Do you have stock but don’t want to sell it? Do you need cash now and want to use your stock as collateral for a loan but don’t want to lose your investment? Do you have bad credit but need cash now? If you answered yes to any of these questions it sounds like you’re a good candidate for a non-recourse stock loan.

Many companies claim to offer loans against stock collateral but very few companies are able to back up their claims with cold hard cash. Most stock loans have the same basic requirements: the symbol must trade at least 50,000 shares per day (this qualification is very easy for most public companies), must be a major platform like OTCBB, NASDAQ, London Exchange etc (basically anything but Pink Sheets, but then again, who in their right mind would invest in pink sheets?) and the company needs to have some solid trading history; that’s it!

Anyone that has stock can easily use this security as collateral for a very reasonable loan that can extend up to 10 years and sometimes even longer. If you own stock, you should never feel hard up for cash. You can use your stock to collateralize a loan with an LTV of 60% to 80% depending on the stock.

Use your stock as collateral for a business loan, pay off your credit cards, take a vacation. If you are a principle in a public company and your business needs fast cash use some of your company stock for that much needed cash for corporate expansion, equipment or executive bonuses.

“Advantages of a stock loan program are: Non-recourse, Credit check and financials not required, Rates based on the 90 day LIBOR, Provides cash for qualified emerging markets and start-ups and Loan payments are interest only!

Serious Corporate Publicity That Will Transform Your Company Overnight!

We get calls all day, every day from companies that talk about ‘wanting’ real corporate publicity that will transform their company but few have the stomach for what it really takes and even fewer have the financial dedication it takes to obliterate their competition and take their rightful place at the top of the food chain.

Of course it’s important to cater to the traditional media (TV, radio, newspaper, industry journals, etc) but the genre of publicity that wins every time is viral publicity consisting of video, social and news bookmarks, article submissions, press release submissions and photo/logo sharing sites. The reality is online publicity is where you’re going to completely annihilate your competitors and claim your rightful position.

When you take into consideration the ultra powerful medium and stealth of viral publicity, all other promotional genres cower in comparison. Online your pre public or post public company will claim instant viewers and a cult-like following that TV and radio can’t even remotely compare. Billions of searches take place every day and it is the viral publicists job to do what SEO and traditional publicists can’t do and that is get solid search engine ranking while simultaneously bringing in powerful results that are targeted and strategically placed.

Forget pay per click, it’s a waste of your time. crush everything in your path with viral publicity that claims power positions on the natural search results on all search engines. You must have a solid combination of mediums at use to take control of targeted keywords and industry genres.

So the next time you tell your self-proclaimed publicist or seo agent that you need publicity that will claim your position and deliver virtually instantaneous results for your company, you’ll understand why there is silence on the other end of the line…because they have no clue as to what it takes to get serious results that will rip and shred everything in your path. The powerful combination of viral publicity and massive exposure will force-feed your concept to the willing masses who are pleading with a company in your industry to step up and spoon-feed the very info that your company is offering.

Stop wasting time and money with so called ’solutions’ that don’t work. You need a publicist, investor relations specialist and SEO demigod that will take you by the hand and pave a way for your company to succeed.
