I remember starting out as a real estate investor I had learned a very simple, yet mind-blowing strategy to make a million dollars in real estate. The concept was taught by Marshall Reddick, who is an avid real estate investor, and to date, he has over 200+ real estate rental properties in his portfolio. It could not have been said better than Marshall himself. To make a million dollars in real estate, you must: 1. Borrower a million dollars 2. Have someone else pay it back for you Simple as that. How does it apply to real estate investing, you may ask? Well, all you need to do is purchase enough investment properties worth a million dollars total, and have them rented out. That essentially is borrowing a million dollars in mortgage debt, and have your renters pay back the debt for you. For many people, borrowing a million dollars may seem out of reach, but just as you would eat an elephant one bite at a time, so is buying real estate properties - you buy one house at a time. Unless you live in California, there are still many states that you can purchase a home for around $100k. Even if you are residing in California, you will need to stretch your vision and reach out-of-state. Many people fear owning a property, let alone owning an investment property out of state. However, as a true real estate investor, you must put yourself in the mode of a business owner. Real estate investment is a business, and like any business, it may come necessary for you to hire people to work for you. That's what realtors and property managers are there for. In order to really expand your real estate investing business, you must get comfortable with hiring property managers to manage your properties. We have all heard good debt and bad debt, so don't let the concept of owing money scare you off - especially when you can have someone else pay it back for you! As an added bonus, real estate value on average has never gone down in value in history. You hear people losing money in real estate because they could not hold on to their properties and they let them go at unfortunate times. Even if real estate value do go down, you should never fear because you have someone else paying your mortgage - your renters. As good as the concept of making a million dollar in real estate may sound, fear not and take the first step in your real estate investing.

Tips on how to Sell, Buy, and list your property When it comes to property, first impressions count, so make sure yours is looking its absolute best. Making the most of your home doesn't have to cost a fortune, and a few inexpensive improvements can make all the difference. Put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer and, starting from the pavement outside, take a complete tour of the property. Work out a plan of action, and if necessary, draft in a friend or an objective other for a second opinion ? you?ll be amazed at the cracks and crevices, often that have gone unnoticed for years, that suddenly come to light. Once you've made a list of what needs to be done, work out a budget and priorities accordingly. There's no point throwing money at making unnecessary changes at this stage, so keep things in perspective. If your landscaping isn't that great, spend the money on new plants to make it look appealing. The buyer has to see themselves living in the property, so make it a paradise. Kerb appeal is essential because many prospective buyers may only drive by your home. Getting them back a second time will depend on their first impression, so make sure the outside is looking its absolute best; keep refuse bins out of sight, and, if it needs it, give the front door a fresh coat of paint. Clean up any paint issues on the interior of the property including behind doors, in closets and so on. This may sound odd, but buyers will look in every little cranny. You're effectively in competition with other homes in the area, so it pays to find out from your local estate agent what will make yours shine a new worktop in the kitchen might be all that it takes. Make your home as warm and inviting as possible, because more than most major purchases, people buy homes according to their emotions. That process begins by making your home feel homey without feeling cluttered. Doing up a house for sale is all about marketing a lifestyle so always keep your buyer in mind when making any changes. Once the property is clean and looks ready to sell (remember, you are trying to impress potential buyers!), create a listing. Getting a free listing on this site will expose your property to hundreds of thousands of buyers including people considering moving into your area. Most sellers fail to recognize that one of the largest pools of buyers are people relocating from one part of the country to another. This is where realtor MLS listings fail miserably. They simply do not expose your home to the correct market, making the sale of the property a long process.Many homebuyers use the Internet to find a home.Because when listing your home for sale, you?ll be able to provide a bevy of information to potential buyers. Essentially, you?ll get to provide everything you would in a typical MLS listing such as bedrooms, bathrooms, garages, appliances, price, square footage, contact information and so on. There is, however, one major advantage to listing on an online real estate site compared to regular MLS listings photographs.

There are many ways to do this. Certainly experience in the particular niche is valuable, but what if the professional doesn't have the experience?

Managing a global portfolio of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is a great way to build a diversified portfolio with exposure to equities around the globe. Fortunately, you need not be a rocket scientist to do this, but many investors fail to observe some basic guidelines, and it can get them into real trouble. Follow these eight steps and sleep easier. 1. Liquidity Comes First: Before you even think of building an investment portfolio, you should set aside about six months of income in a "rainy day" account. This could be put into a money market fund or U.S. Treasury securities. Having this money set aside will ease your mind and allow you to be more open and creative with your global portfolios. 2. Separate Portfolios: You should separate your core conservative portfolio from your growth portfolios. With the core conservative portfolio, your top priority is capital preservation, and growth is a secondary consideration. Your growth portfolios are more speculative, with capital growth as the primary goal. 3. Really Diversify Your Portfolios: You need positions in your portfolios that are likely to offset each other as unexpected events and market movements become a reality. This is not accomplished with different sectors of ETFs or a mix of small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap ETFs. Rather the goal is to have some investments that are on both sides of risks. For example, if the U.S. dollar declines, have some investments in precious metals or denominated in other currencies, such as Switzerland or Australia or Singapore ETFs. If inflation heats up, have some investments that hedge this risk such as timber, gold or Treasury inflation-protected bonds (TIPs). If political events or policies in one country take a turn for the worst, it is helpful to have investments in other well-developed countries to offset any loss of value. You get the idea, spread your risk and avoid having one ETF account for more than 5%-10% of your core portfolio. 4. Be Careful Which Countries You Pick: You need some guidelines to help keep you from getting carried away and having too concentrated a position in a particular country or region. In particular, take a good look at the following: 1) the stability and overall political and corporate governance; 2) the legal environment, respect for contracts, low levels of corruption, due process and rule of law; 3) the macroeconomic environment including fiscal discipline and currency strength; and 4) political risks that could affect financial markets. Keep in mind that the quality of the countries you choose to invest in is the primary but not the only factor. The price or valuation of a country's stock market is also extremely important. Oftentimes, the best time to buy into a country's stock market is when it is beaten down, but there are signs that its economic and political problems will sharply improve. If you have a long-term perspective, you might consider annuities specially structured for ETF portfolios. 5. Minimize Company Risk by using our "buy countries, not stocks" strategy. Instead of trying to pick the best three stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, why not just minimize company risk by buying the iShares MSCI Japan Index, which tracks the Nikkei 225 and spreads this risk across 225 Japanese companies. 6. Monitor ETF Country And Company Exposure: Be careful to look under the hood of ETFs to see where your money is going. For example, let's look at the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF. It invests in 26 different countries, so it is natural to think that you will get broad exposure to all 26 countries. You would be wrong: 50% of your investment in this fund is going to four countries: South Korea, South Africa, Taiwan and China. In addition, incredibly, 7.5% is going to one company, Samsung Electronics of South Korea. The same is true for the MSCI Europe, Asia and Far East index. It contains 21 developed countries, but 48% of the money you invest would go to just two: Japan and the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, less than 1% would go to Singapore and Ireland! Country specific ETFs such as the new iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index can also have a fair amount of concentrated risk. Although the China ETF tracks a basket of 25 companies, the largest five companies account for nearly 50% of your exposure. 7. Cut Losses With A Trailing Stop-Loss Policy And ETF Put Options: We have all been there. You buy a stock or fund, and it appreciates in value rapidly. Then it stumbles and begins to decline. What do you do? Should you buy more, let it ride, or sell? Save yourself a lot of pain and agony by following a simple rule. If a position ever falls more than 20% from its high, sell it immediately and reassess the situation. If you invest in an ETF with a sizable downside risk, why not spend a few hundred dollars to purchase a put-option as an insurance policy? 8. Rebalance Your Portfolio: At least annually, you need to make some changes so that you are not overly exposed to countries that have higher risk factors and volatility. One way is by selling some shares of your winners and increasing exposure to under performers. This accomplishes another goal, locking in gains and taking some money off the table. Remember, only a fool holds out for top dollar, especially in the more volatile emerging market countries. Building your portfolios with low-cost, tax-efficient ETFs is a smart strategy, but don't set it on auto pilot.

The reverse mortgage is only paid off upon the death of the borrower or sale of the property by the borrower. How is a reverse mortgage different from a home equity loan? Home equity loans are paid back over a period of scheduled payments for a set number of years. A reverse mortgage is repaid when the borrower no longer uses the home as their primary residence. Borrowers who have a high debt to income ratio or bad credit may also find reverse mortgages appealing because the equity in the home and the value of the home are more relevant factors than credit score. The home can also never be foreclosed as long as real estate taxes are kept current. Even if the borrower in a reverse mortgage outlives the loan the home will never be taken and the loan not paid off until the home is sold or the borrower dies. Who typically takes out a reverse mortgage loan? Many times senior citizens obtain reverse mortgage loans to offset the income provided by social security. Many senior citizens have a large amount of equity in their homes. Reverse mortgages can ensure that they have the cash needed to meet unexpected financial obligations such as home repairs or medical bills. What are the requirements to receive a reverse mortgage? The home being mortgaged must be owner occupied. Generally single family homes and small apartments and townhomes are also eligible for a reverse mortgage. How will a reverse mortgage affect my estate? When the borrower of a reverse mortgage dies, the estate must repay the loan or the proceeds of the sale of the home will repay the loan. Any remaining equity will be given to the heirs of the estate. How can I get more information on Reverse Mortgages? Contact any reputable mortgage broker to obtain more information. It might be advisable to consult a real estate or estate planning attorney to make sure a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Making money on the internet by building a home based business starts with figuring out what your special, niche interest is. A niche interest is the one subject in which you consider yourself to be an expert. If you're lucky, you may be a relative expert in more than one thing. Are you especially good at fixing bikes? Do you know everything there is to know about collecting stamps? If you're interested in it, chances are, there are a slew of other people who are, too. Your interest is the key to a successful home based internet business. If you don't care about what you're selling or the services you have to offer, then your heart won't be into your business. You must want more than just money to make a successful business. You have to be passionate in what you have to offer in order to communicate that passion to your customers. After you've chosen your niche interest and a focus for your business - let's say, fixing bikes - now you need a turnkey Internet marketing system to create income for you. Where are you most likely to find people who will be interested in your site and the products you have to offer? Certainly, there are brick and mortar establishments like bike shops where people would see your advertisements, but for an online store, your marketing should focus on the Internet. Go where bike riders go - forums, blogs, chat rooms. Start your own blog. Be the place where those who want to fix their bikes or buy a new bike go to learn what they need, and then offer it to them. To get high rankings in search engines and be the business that comes up as a resource when people search for terms that are associated with your chosen business, you have to continually provide fresh, new content that contains those keywords. This is part of why blogging is such a popular Internet marketing tool. Blogging requires you to post new information and observations pertaining to your business and industry regularly, even daily. This piles up the keywords for the search engine spiders to find and helps to raise you in the rankings. All of this adds up to more traffic to your online home business, which means more customers, higher sales, and a better overall profit margin for you. Creating wealth online and making money on the Internet is as simple as finding the thing you are best at, creating a website for it, offering high quality products and services at a reasonable price, marketing those products where the advertising will be seen by those who need your product, and getting them to come to your online business website and see what you have to offer.
