The value of homes in the last sixty years has increased steadily. Everyone (even those who should have known better) believed that the rise would go on forever and the entire real estate industry was established on that concept. Then the worst comes after the hyperinflation of home values ​​begins to plummet. That bursting of the real estate bubble has caused a reassessment of how one should interact or work with the real estate industry.

Sell ​​your own house without agents
Realtors make a lot of sense when home values ​​are constantly rising. Giving a six percent commission to real estate agents was not a problem when someone was likely to make a significant profit on the sale of their property. However, we live in sadder and poorer times, a real estate agent becomes a problem as many people may be selling their house at a loss.

Selling Your Own House Legal Assistance
Keep in mind that title companies and escrow companies will provide a great deal of assistance in selling your own home. Still, for legal paperwork, check with a forms and contract provider like We The People for a retailer or LegalZoom for someone online. A free source of information to answer basic questions if used sparingly and courteously is a title company. If more unique issues arise, seek legal help from real estate attorneys. Many will have flat rates for those who do a FSBO (For Sale By Owner).

Sell ​​Your Own House Marketing
List the house’s ads in as many free Internet classifieds as you can find. Websites like Craigslist, USFreeads, and Backpage are not bypassing national services as they can provide you with an investor looking in your area. Place signs on the property, thus notifying all passersby that the house can be purchased. Advertise in newspaper publishers like Penny Saver or Thrifty Nickel, they will be cheaper than the general local newspapers. Lastly, make a list of 100 people you can contact and who can meet other people looking to buy a home. Your hairdresser, insurance broker, instructors, pastors, everyone who is continually in contact with or in front of people, make sure they know you are selling a home.

With so much excitement and excitement around Twitter, I decided to look for concrete examples of social media success in book publishing. I interviewed two different publishers to get their thoughts on how participating on Twitter has benefited them.

Twitter requires an investment of time and resources, so the first and most obvious question is, does it work? Do you sell books? I asked Michael Taeckens, director of publicity for Algonquin Books, and he responded emphatically, “Yes, absolutely.” I agree, too. At FSB, we’re running tests to judge the impact of Twitter conversations on sales, and the picture is undeniable: Twitter is driving sales (more on that next month).

Algonquin Books (@algonquinbooks) was featured in a recent Huffington Post article on the Top 12 Publishers on Twitter. Another publisher on the list was Alfred A. Knopf, and I asked Mary Buckley and Pamela Cortland if they feel their efforts to manage Twitter feeds sell books. They also said yes. The dynamic duo have been tweeting for Knopf (@aaknopf) for just over a year. Although they were not hired for this role, they seem to be naturals in it. They first took over the Facebook page and then the Twitter feed. “In April 2009, we decided to create a more active presence. Mary and I split tweeting responsibilities because we were both interested in the potential of Twitter to engage with readers,” Cortland said.

The growth in the number of followers of both Algonquin and Knopf has been substantial. In 2009 Knopf had 1,581 followers and today it exceeds 32,000. I asked them what is the secret of their success and if the growth was constant: “Our growth is spurting, where some days we will increase by fifty followers and the next by two hundred. On average, we gain about one hundred followers per day. We see a There is a large increase when our authors with large followings (eg, Anne Rice, Nicholas Kristof) retweet posts they are interested in. Also, we see that our tweets about general literary news, such as book festivals around the country or discussions of the world of books, Today’s book has attracted a wide audience”. Algonquin also has a large following of over 26,000.

The trick to its success may lie in building the community that is so crucial to Twitter. Taeckens explains his three-point plan for engagement: “First, be proactive when interacting with other people—you need to engage in conversations, not just post as if you’re informing a captive audience. Second, show your sense of personality. Be witty, humor, creativity and have fun. Thirdly, post and comment on topics you know and are interested in, not just literature and publications, but all topics of cultural dialogue.”

Building loyal communities and followers is a time-consuming task, especially since none of the Twitter feeds are run by dedicated community managers. Taeckens has the demanding job of being the Director of Advertising and this fall he will assume his new role of Director of Online and Paperback Marketing, while Mary Buckley is the Assistant Director of Advertising and Promotions and Pamela Cortland is the Assistant Director of Marketing. How do they manage to run such successful Twitter feeds? “From the beginning, we created a system of alternating ‘tweet days’, so we wouldn’t exhaust ourselves with the effort of finding interesting things to say. Hootsuite allows us to queue our daily load of tweets in a small block of hour of the We always hear interesting news about books (on blogs, on industry sites, in the newspaper, on Twitter itself), so it’s never been too difficult to collect stuff to tweet. Plus, now that our colleagues are more aware of Twitter’s potential to reach a wide audience of readers, booksellers and media contacts, they’ve been wonderful in providing us with great reviews and author events,” Buckley said.

For Taeckens, Twitter seems like a natural extension of his job: “It depends on how good you are at multitasking. I’m used to, and thrive on, multitasking. I think it’s a skill people will have.” “. to refine, because Twitter and other forms of social networking are becoming more and more important. If you’re not particularly adept at multitasking, you can always set aside certain periods of time throughout the day to check in and engage with Twitter.”

To a simple question, both companies gave inspiring answers. What do you think is the biggest benefit of Twitter for authors and publishers? “It’s very exciting for our company to interact directly with readers, authors and booksellers. Twitter allows publishers like us to be listeners as well as content providers. Being in a virtual room with millions of readers makes us more aware of what people want us, our authors and the literature,” Cortand and Buckley explained. Taeckens eloquently added: “The opportunity to convey your unique and personal sense of identity in real time.”

In both cases, Twitter managers found a place to express their passion for their books, authors, and industry. They did not set out to build a large following. They set out, almost like an experiment, to engage with a community and found it extremely rewarding and successful.

What does it really mean to invest in yourself? I mean, yeah, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. But what is your plan once you get to the point you dream of? Of course, everyone should be constantly saving for retirement, but isn’t there another goal besides that? Starting a low cost business may sound very complicated, but it is actually much simpler than you think. Have you ever thought about owning a property? I’m not talking about launching the next big real estate company, but would owning a few small properties be that hard? Let’s think about it for a second. If you bought a house for $200,000 and rented it out for $2,000 a month, it would only take a little over eight years to break even, and then you would earn an additional $24,000 a year after that.

It’s okay, even if you have the money to make that investment, you may be thinking to yourself… “how much work is that going to be?” To be honest, a family is not too much to take care of as an owner. You may have to drop by once a month or so for routine maintenance, and if you’re someone who’s a bit of a handyman, then this shouldn’t be a problem for you! If not, you could easily hire a part-timer to help you with the hands-on work. This may affect your earnings a bit, but it will present itself as an opportunity to earn additional money with basically no work involved.

As a professional investor, I would highly recommend investing in real estate to my listeners. It is a very easy way to make a profit in the long run and if you continue to invest in this market you will earn great income in the future. This is a very simple but expensive investment, but it is also a very worthwhile investment! It’s an easy way to earn extra income, and you may be surprised at how much income you receive! If you don’t have enough money saved to cover the start-up costs of your business, you may want to find investors. But finding investors with small businesses like this can be very easy! The best time to start saving is right now! Owning a property can be very lucrative and should definitely be an investment considered by anyone.

Buying a property has been a scary business. It can be a high-end or affordable property. You may be puzzled by the presence of so many real estate agents. Investments are usually large, so finding a trusted real estate dealer is very important. You should research the real estate market to find out the names of the major real estate developers in your region. Try to do a background check before finalizing with the developer of the property. Customer reviews are readily available on the Internet. A wrong choice can land you in a deep soup.

Buy residential property in the most suitable location

The location of the Condominium for Sale is very important. It shouldn’t be too far from the heart of the city. It makes the switching part difficult and time consuming. If you’re too far away, you may miss out on the conveniences of the city. Again, you have to travel some distance to get all the conveniences that city life has to offer. What is required is a balance between the two. There are several real estate projects that are strategically located and have easy access to the city related facilities as well as a distance from the busy city traffic.

Get the accommodation of your dreams

If you are looking for a suitable property in the Philippines, the big real estate developers who deal in condominiums can come to your aid. Any great developer will be able to offer you a wide variety of properties to choose from. They have several integrated urban municipalities throughout the country. They are very focused on customer satisfaction and lean towards class and comfort; they will help you find the accommodation of your dreams. You don’t need to face the hassles of paperwork. They will take care of these tedious problems.

Impeccable post-sale service

A reputable real estate developer can be confident in the quality of the accommodation they have sold. Landscaping is done properly to create the right environment in a housing project. He has years of experience in creating satisfied customers. The company is professionally managed and always delivers the properties to the buyer according to the agreed schedule. In the event that any loophole is found, these companies are ready to provide the after-sales services of the apartments they have sold to the clients.

Invest in promising properties

Properties are good objects to invest. Property prices generally increase over time. You can buy a property so promising that it can give a good appreciation price after a few years. It is a broad mode of investment that can yield much higher returns than traditional investment methods. There are several ways to make purchase payments. You can buy the property outright with all money paid in full. This will allow the least outflow of money. You can opt for down payment methods, where you will be able to pay a certain down payment sum and get ownership of the property at attractive discounts. There is the third no down payment option that effectively drives the cost of ownership higher.

Occupy your investment property in a timely and profitable manner

To maintain a positive ROI on any investment purchase, you have to have tenants, right?

RIGHT.

However, I often see many investors doing this process the wrong way! I constantly hear the stress and annoyance of landlords who are unable to rent out their property in a timely OR cost-effective manner. Stress kicks in, buyers remorse follows, and the drinking ensues (joke).

What can we do to ensure that our new investment is occupied at a desirable price with equally desirable tenants?

Become your own rental agent!

As a real estate agent, I’m sure I’d get burned for saying this, but the MLS is NOT the way to rent your property these days! This requires the additional expense of 10% of your net gross lease. Doesn’t it make sense to first save that amount and second pass those savings on? If you’re going to give that 10% to an agent, give it directly to your tenant! No, I don’t mean giving them a wad of cash for signing a lease, just demanding less deposit to get them to move in, isn’t that a motivator to choose your property over your competitors?

Do your research before you buy!

If this doesn’t sound like the most logical advice I can give… But it is true and often forgotten. DO NOT and I have to repeat – DO NOT buy an investment rental property without finding out what your lowest rental income will be. Forget greed and how much could you charge, how much can you get? Do your homework and find out, first, what current renters are paying in comparable units, and second, what comparable units are asking. Will the lowest amount you can expect make your ROI high? If not, move on.

Don’t get bogged down with credit and reference applications

Everyone deserves a second chance, right? Just because a prospect has bad credit or can’t provide proper references doesn’t make them a bad tenant. Yes, the default rate is higher, but I’ve also seen people with 760 credit scores go into foreclosure, we all have now. This may sound careless or reckless, but GO ON WITH YOUR INTRODUCTION. You have to judge your potential tenants by yourself, what feeling do you get from them? If it feels good, go ahead. There are no guarantees in life, sometimes we have to take chances on the underdog, when the odds are against us, however they may pay off handsomely! (do you want to go to the track?)

Keep your tenants happy

Again, it seems obvious, but this too is often forgotten. A happy tenant is a paying tenant as well as a courteous tenant. Do you remember the days of high school parties? If you were friends with the owner of the house, didn’t you take care of the house during the ruckus? However, if you were in a “strange” house, you spilled beer here, dented a wall there, whatever…it’s not my house. Tenants are of the same mindset, if they like you and understand that you respect them they will treat your home as their own and the reward for this is priceless!

Christmas, and the seemingly endless commercial prelude to Christmas, is one of the most absurd institutions, indeed the most absurd, that society has inflicted on the vast majority of the civilized world. When you consider all the kinds of stressful hurdles you have to go through in the months, but especially the weeks leading up to the Big Day, it becomes necessary if you are weak enough to concede to what society (primarily, but not exclusively, retail merchants) requires, it is a miracle that the civilized world is not collectively a society of babbling idiots the next day. Still, most happily and willingly jump through the same stressful hoops the following year, paying through the nose for the privilege.

1) RELIGIOUS ABSURDIES

A) Christmas has to do with Christ. The odds that JC was born on December 25 are roughly 365.25 to 1. That’s because no one has the slightest idea what the actual date was. You won’t find it in the Bible, that’s for sure. The concept of a relationship between Christmas and JC was a hijacking by the Christian Church of the ancient ‘pagan’ tradition of celebrating the winter solstice. Rather than fight the City Council, the church simply adopted that already established tradition for its own purposes. Any similarity to the really real reality is purely a matter of coincidence. That you swallow hook, line, and sinker without any questioning, critical thinking, or real study that there is an actual relationship between the virgin birth (yes, that’s believable and not an original idea either) of a supposed deity (whose historical good faith can be questioned) that has not been seen in more than 2000 years, is absurd.

B) For malls and stores like supermarkets and department stores to play not only Christmas music, but also religious-themed (ie Christian) Christmas music is absurd. Nativity scenes are also often featured. That means that these commercial companies are in fact promoting a specific brand of religion exclusively over all others. While that might be appropriate for a church, it’s not the right place in any multicultural society for for-profit commercial stores to endorse any kind of religion. That they do so is another absurdity.

2) ABSURD FOOD

A) On average, half of the food you buy for the holidays will go to waste. Now is that absurd or is that absurd.

B) How many of you ate ham or turkey for Christmas dinner? Why? Probably because your society and culture pretty much requires you to eat traditional food, which means one of these two options, plus the obligatory eggnog, plum pudding, and mince pies, etc. So what’s wrong with pizza, meatloaf, sirloin steak, Irish stew, mac and cheese, etc.? Why are you such a slave to someone else’s traditions? That’s absurd. I have established my own tradition: even the years is pizza for Christmas breakfast; spaghetti for Christmas dinner. In odd years I invest both.

3) ABSURD DECORATION

Think of the enormous amounts of time and energy that goes into putting up, up and up and eventually down, down and down all those ornate Christmas decorations. What is the point? And some people go so far over the line that you’d think they were trying to get into the Guinness Book of Records. Maybe they are! And haven’t we heard or read all those stories about those Christmas tree lights that were so overloaded they shorted out, setting the tree on fire and burning down the house?

4) BRATS (Sorry, the Little Darlings) ABSURDITIES

It’s absurd to be ethically obligated to lie to your children (and anyone else’s children) about the reality of Santa.

5) HOLY ABSURDITIES

Santa’s economic purpose is to instill in the brats (sorry, your little darlings) the concept of greed and a free lunch. The mantra of the brats: I want, I want, I want; give me give me give me; now now now Why do you think malls and department stores employ a Santa Claus? Hint: he has nothing to do with jingle bells, but with the jingle of coins transferred from his pockets to his cash registers, lots and lots of jingling coins (plus the rustle of paper money too). Of course, as an added insult, you have to pay to get a picture of your brat(s), sorry little darling(s), sitting on Santa’s knee.

6) ABSURDITIES OF CHRISTMAS MUSIC

What you hear in the privacy of your own home is your business, but in the many, many, many weeks leading up to Christmas Day, you (and especially if you’re a staff member at any supermarket or department store, etc.) are bombarded. endlessly to the Christmas music from the malls, not to mention the tuneless brats (sorry, those darling little kids) on the street corners who also see fit to serenade you with even more Christmas music. You can only take so many renditions of Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, White Christmas, and The Little Drummer Boy (to mention just four songs out of a seemingly endless number of Christmas repertoire of pap and musical nonsense).

7) FINANCIAL ABSURDIES

You spend enormous amounts of money and energy preparing for an annual event that you probably wish society would completely forget about.

8) TIME AND ENERGY ABSURD

You spend more time preparing for an annual event than it does for that event itself.

9) FAMILY, FRIENDS AND OTHER ABSURD RELATIONSHIPS

You spend ‘quality’ time with family members you wish were on the other side of the world and therefore unable to invade your personal space, time and wallet.

You spend a lot of money that you’d rather not spend on gifts for people you don’t give a damn about.

You send Christmas cards to a lot of people you don’t care about; you get Christmas cards from people you don’t care about.

You receive many gifts that are unwanted, useless, and worth only for the $$$ you could get for them on eBay (and other related items).

10) ABSURDITIES OF INSINCERITY

99.9% of the people, mostly strangers and salespeople, wishing you a “Merry Christmas” are just going through the motions and personally don’t give a damn if you drop dead on Christmas Day. That goes triple for the millions of “Merry Christmas” messages in the ads you see before Christmas.

11) HEALTH ABSURD

Would your blood pressure, stress levels, and overall mental health be in a better, overall healthier condition if you could put your feet up, ignore Christmas, and just watch the parade go by? Would your health be better if you hadn’t given in to the Christmas spirit as well as the spirits?

12) ABSURD BENEFICIARIES

Who benefits from Christmas? Clearly, there are stories of various acts of kindness and sacrifice that come to light every Christmas. Now follow the money trail. Okay, on the plus side, charities obviously get extra donations at Christmas. So much for the bright side! Well, the post office and Christmas card makers benefit, especially since every year is a new year where everyone has to buy and post anew (unlike Christmas decorations that get reused year after year). Speaking of decorations, unless you use an artificial Christmas tree, real natural Christmas tree growers and sellers look forward to the holiday season. Above all, the beneficiaries include all manufacturers and retailers of all those who will receive Christmas gifts. Face it, Christmas is all about the economy and keeping people employed. Without Christmas (and to a lesser extent other over-hyped holidays like Mother’s and Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, etc.) there would be an economic collapse that would make 1929 pale in comparison. In fact, appearance wise, a good percentage of the news in the run up to Christmas is about how much people spend; how well (or poorly) are retailers doing. They certainly outnumber stories that focus on the religious or the warmer and more confusing aspects of Christmas.

CONCLUSION

Absurdity is the foundation of comedy, so, so to speak, I enjoy sitting back and relaxing and enjoying the human comedy that unfolds in front of me each Christmas season as all the good little sheep enact the standard Christmas routines (including the payment of invoices in January). It’s a comedy to see all those members of society who take Christmas seriously and who jump as high as they can when society snaps its fingers when Christmas approaches for yet another reason of absurd madness.

Buying a home is probably one of the most important purchases you’ll ever make. You sign reams of paperwork for both the loan and the purchase of the property. This purchase also involves real property law, which raises special and unique practice issues and issues not present in other transactions. As a result, some states have begun certifying attorneys as “Real Estate Specialists” because a real estate attorney is trained to address these issues. The home buying process seems simple on the surface and leaves many people asking the question: “Do I really need to hire a real estate attorney?”

The purchase agreement may be the most important document handled during the transaction. Sure, preprinted electronic forms are helpful, but an attorney can explain the forms and make changes and/or additions based on buyer and seller requests. Some typical topics that are commonly addressed in the purchase agreement are the following:

– What happens if the property is found to contain hazardous waste materials?

– What are the legal ramifications if the closing does not take place as scheduled? What happens to the initial payment? (This question raises other related questions: Will the down payment be held in escrow by an attorney? How will the payment be made? Will the closing be properly conditioned on the buyer obtaining financing?)

– What happens if termites, asbestos or lead-based paint are found when inspecting the property?

– If the property is altered or an addition is added, was it done lawfully?

– If the buyer intends to change ownership, can the proposed plans be legally done?

If the sellers seem unreasonable or ask for something unusual, that’s usually a good time to call a lawyer. A lawyer can serve as a great back-up to a real estate agent and can translate the legal jargon thrown at you in the piles of paperwork. Brokers and escrow agents don’t get paid until closing occurs, so if something goes wrong during closing, they will naturally be inclined to encourage you to sign the papers and close rather than create a hiccup. For example, if you find a defective title on closing day, you need someone there to tell you what your rights are to it. Alternatively, the seller can make promises to fix the property’s problems, but still push for closing. These promises must be included in a contract and approved by a lawyer.

Perhaps the most important reason to be represented by a real estate attorney is to resolve the conflicting interests of the parties involved. Buyers and sellers are often at odds throughout the entire process. Generally, the agent represents the seller, while the lender is obtained by the buyer. Unfortunately, none of them can provide legal advice. Seeking an attorney to protect your own interests is a very good idea from the time you decide to sell or buy a home until the time of the actual closing.

Different states treat debt obligations differently; therefore, borrowing money to buy houses carries different levels of risk associated with financing. In California, a person can owe millions of thousands of dollars on a house, and if things don’t work out, just give the house back to the lender and walk away without any liability. But, in many states, if you personally guarantee a loan, even after a home is foreclosed, you will still have to pay any losses the lender incurs if the home sells for less than the loan balance. You could spend years working to pay off what you owe as the interest clock ticks down.

When buying a home to resell, I look for financial terms that do not impose personal liability for debt. My favorite goal is a house that has an existing loan that I can take without liability. Here are a few ways I do this:

1. If I am taking title by Deed of Grant or Warranty Deed, I want to include language to the effect that “Beneficiary is taking title SUBJECT TO any encumbrances, encumbrances, encumbrances, covenants, easements, and record restrictions “.

2. With a Quit Deed, I do not need to add any of that language because it is implicit in a Quit Deed that only the estate the other person owns is conveyed to me, subject to any defects in title claims by others. .

3. As a trustee, corporate officer, LLC managing member, if I add “and not individually” after my name, I assume no personal responsibility for repayment of the loan and may turn the property over to the lender if I am unable to make things work . outside.

4. If, instead of borrowing money to buy a property, I give the seller the same down payment, but for an option to buy the property at an increasing price instead of paying interest on a risky loan. Therefore, I avoid all responsibility for any debt.

5. I can buy the property on a contingent contract and I do not have to complete the sale unless certain contingencies are eliminated. My favorite contingency language is: “The buyer will not be bound by this contract, and the entire security deposit will be returned until the buyer has examined and approved the condition of the premises, title, and financial arrangements as of the date closing”. .” This gives me a lot of last-minute leverage to get risk-free financial terms.

Price is critical when buying a home to resell, but when buying a home for long-term rental, financial terms are paramount. I’m willing to pay more to get seller financing that I can afford comfortably out of rental cash flow. Let’s say a $200,000 free and clear house could be bought for $160,000 in quick cash, but I had to borrow the money at 10% interest, only from a private lender; my payments would be $1,333.33 per month plus another $3,000 or so per year for taxes and insurance. Let’s say that for a full year, my rents averaged $1,250 per month minus about $250 per month in operating expenses. It’s going to cost me about $4,000 a year to own this house. I could afford one house like this, but not ten houses. In other words, negative cash flow seriously limits the total wealth I can accumulate by holding houses for long-term appreciation and amortization.

Suppose I pay the full rental value of the house in exchange for two things: a small cash flow differential and zero interest. Let’s say my financial terms might call for two $100,000 loans: The first loan to be paid off with payments of $1,000 per month for 100 months. The second loan will be paid off in a single balloon payment at the end of 100 months. You would raise this by refinancing the house or selling it. The seller will be paid in full in 8.5 years. Using the same operating expenses, I will balance my cash flow from day one and be able to continue buying houses. Comparing these two approaches, if the house appreciated at 5% per year, at the end of 10 years it would be worth $325,779. In the first case, you would still owe $160,000 and would have paid $40,000 in negative cash flow. In the second case, I would have paid off $100,000 of the debt, leaving $100,000 of debt to pay. In the long run, financing, not the market, is what creates equity.

The buyers are out there, it’s just a matter of gathering them and staying in touch. It helps to be able to determine what type of buyer you’re looking for early on. Remember this: you are the person who has something he wants when a buyer calls you; if he’s calling them then he’s trying to sell them, let’s make sure the buyers call him so he stays in the position of power from the start. You must be a real estate heavyweight.

Let’s look at some categories of typical buyers to gain insight into their mindsets and how and when we will market to find them for their real estate buying needs.

o Rehabbers – These are people who are looking to fix up and flip properties for a quick profit.

o Owners: These are people who are looking to buy to rent to others for long-term capital accumulation while generating positive cash flow each month.

o Wholesaler: You will buy or put an option in your contract to hopefully pass the paper on to another buyer who is willing to pay more.

o End Buyers with Leasing Option: These are people who cannot qualify for a loan of their own but want to return to home ownership rather than renting.

o Retail Buyers: These are end-buyers who may be able to obtain a mortgage or have cash and generally purchase the property for their own housing needs.

There are variations of buyers, but the above 4 types are generally considered to be the main targets for people who have properties to sell. Understanding each buyer’s mindset helps you market to those buyers’ interests, whether they want quick cash, long-term wealth, tax breaks, a place to call home, etc. If you ask enough general questions, you’ll quickly discern what type of buyer you have in hand. Once you know that, you can tailor your offers and feature properties that meet what’s important to them.

Buyer: Someone who is ready, willing and qualified! Those who are not qualified may be perfect tenants, lease option buyers, or owner financing candidates, so qualifying can have different meanings.

Done – Someone who is in the market to buy within 1-45 days, keep in mind that the ultimate buyer with a retail or lease option usually buys once and is out of the game, owners, rehabbers, and wholesalers buy several. property from you over time as existing assets are accumulated, sold or changed. Having active buyer lists in different categories who are often ready to buy a property is a very smart way to operate.

Gee Danno, how do I find these people? Oh! I’m so glad you asked! Let’s start with one of the best methods of all time to kick start building a buyer’s list. In your search for bargain-priced properties to own, it makes sense that you eventually find a great deal, once you have a top offer to offer, turn around and market that property at cost! Yes, there is no benefit for you in this case. Why? Because you are going to advertise that property to every potential property buyer and investor on the planet!

The reason for this is that you will get the most calls and responses when you advertise a flashy offer! Granted, you’ll most likely sell that deal relatively quickly, but you’ll collect information from every potential buyer you call to build your buyers list for future properties you list. If you don’t have your own property to sell, ask someone who does! I can assure you that they will not turn down your offer to advertise your property for them for free! You can negotiate a small fee if you do indeed sell your property, but your main goal is to build your buyers list!

Let me give you an example of a way to collect potential buyers by the dozens, hold an auction, advertise a solid week in advance to attract the most buyers, start with bandit signs, putting about 100 of them around a 5 mile square of the property we just did this and we got 800 calls because it was a huge number of those 800 calls we had 300 people show up the day of the auction of course the house sold but we also added new buyers to our buyers list.

Here are some ways to advertise to those buyers:

o Bandit Signs

or Craigs List

or Back Cover

GoogleBase

or Post Office

or Zillow

o Pay Per Click Ads

o Local online classifieds

o Media website

or Ruffles

o Newspaper/inserts

or REIA

o Direct mail/post cards

o Start an investor MeetUp group

Or email

Telephone

or Fax

Both manufacturers and industry depend on the services of industrial air compressors. Most industries that use air compressors use high quality industrial grade models. These models are different, more powerful, and more expensive than those used for light duty and regular homeowners.

Industrial air compressors can run on natural gas or electricity. Most industries use natural gas to power their air compressors. Although both types of power used to run these industrial air compressors can be expensive, many businesses find that using natural gas as a power source greatly reduces their utility costs.

Most industries use a two stage type of air compressor for their needs. Generally speaking, this type of industrial air compressor is designed for heavy duty work. These offer a much higher level of air compression, compared to smaller or more compact models. Industrial air compressors generally also offer the ability to store unused air for future use. These can also be more energy efficient because they run at a higher power level than other models; This increased use of horsepower also creates a better working machine that is less likely to break down and requires less maintenance.

As with the purchase of any type of air compressor, those who purchase industrial air compressors must take special care with safety and quality standards. Very few industries are legally allowed to purchase air compressors that are not certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Increased workplace safety and liability concerns have made it necessary for most companies to purchase high-quality, certified devices to ensure the well-being of their employees. Some safety features may include a safety valve to use in the event of excess air pressure in the unit. The valve will automatically release air, therefore lowering the pressure, in the event of a power surge. Without this safety device, users of the machine run the risk of causing an explosion.
