During the Great Depression in the 1930s, Conrad Hilton built a hotel empire by buying all the major American hotels: the Plaza, the Drake, the Palmer House, etc. – to a penny on the dollar. He boldly went against the grain of average investors and built an icon that exists to this day.
In the mobile home park business, you may be the next Conrad Hilton, if you know the tactics needed to buy distressed mobile home parks.
Understand the real costs of building a mobile home park.
Before you can start buying distressed assets, you must first understand their true value. One of the best starting points for understanding mobile home parks is understanding what it costs to build one. This is called the “replacement cost.” For mobile home parks, one costs about $ 8,000 per lot to build, plus the cost of the land. For a 100-space park, that equates to $ 800,000 in infrastructure costs, plus the cost of the land. The average mobile home park is based on a density of 7 to 10 units per acre. So a 100 space park would be 10-14 acres. You can add the cost of land based on the value of acreage in the vicinity of the park.
So if the “replacement cost” of a 100-space park is 100 x $ 8,000 in infrastructure and 10 x $ 20,000 in land cost, then it would cost you $ 1 million to build it from scratch. If you can buy that same park for $ 500,000, then it’s a good deal, right? Not always. There is still more you need to know.
Know the current EBITDA.
EBITDA stands for “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,” basically the true cash flow of the property. This is the measure that allows you to assign a value to it. Once you know this amount, you can calculate the price with different capitalization or “cap” rates. If a mobile home park has an EBITDA of $ 100,000 per year and you value a mobile home park with a capitalization rate of 10%, then its value would be $ 1,000,000.
Understand the compositions.
When an appraiser tries to determine a value, one of the factors they look at is what the other mobile home parks in that area are selling for. This is perhaps one of the best indicators of value, except for the fact that buyers of the other mobile home parks may not have made smart purchases.
However, this is more true of past compositions than recent ones. While buyers made some really stupid purchases a few years ago and borrowed from banks with the same lack of discipline, this is not true for recent sales, which have been built on the new reality. Putting it all together.
To make good purchases during depression, you must be able to define and support the great distress purchase from the mere mean. If you have a park of 100 spaces in distress and you have it under contract for $ 400,000, with an EBITDA of $ 60,000 and compensation of $ 12,000 per space, then this is what we know about it:
* It would cost $ 1,000,000 to build that park, so that’s 40% of the construction cost, which is a very attractive discount.
* It’s a 15% capitalization rate, which is extremely attractive.
* It would show compensation values of $ 1,200,000, which is 300% more than its price.
That would make a heartbreak purchase worthy of Conrad Hilton. And this is how to make a fortune in the current depression.
Electric Cars – Build Your Own!
Every day I read about how electric cars will arrive, and soon! Tea New York Times says that “work is being done on a national electric car charging infrastructure.” “It consists of electricity charging points with plugs throughout the country.” Y Forbes […]
Every day I read about how electric cars will arrive, and soon! Tea New York Times says that “work is being done on a national electric car charging infrastructure.” “It consists of electricity charging points with plugs throughout the country.”
Y Forbes The magazine had just published an article that said: “A future in which drivers tell utility companies when and where to charge their electric vehicles and with what source of energy (wind, sun or coal, for example) they could be two years “.
But you don’t have to wait. In fact, you can start turning your gasoline car into an electric car today! This means that your car will no longer use gasoline. You will install special batteries in your car and only those will provide the power. It used to be very expensive to do such a conversion, but new electric car technology has made it easy and affordable for everyone.
How are you going to do this? You need to buy an electric car conversion kit or an instruction manual first. They are available on the Internet for immediate download. They usually cost between $ 35 and $ 50. Next, you will need tools and parts. These manuals show you how to find free batteries and other parts. The total cost of the entire conversion could cost as little as $ 300 (not including the manual).
Then follow the instructions step by step. Your car should be able to go about 50 mph and travel about 100 miles on a single charge. You “refuel” your new electric car simply by plugging it into an outlet. Then you are ready to go another 100 miles. You will never have to pay for gas again! In addition, your car does not emit any polluting by-products or generate unpleasant noises.
The best part is that the state and federal government will actually pay you to drive an electric car. There are deep discounts available for electric cars. When you add it all up (gas money saved, rebates), you’re not really spending a penny on the conversion. In fact, you are making money!
This is not only a fun project, but you will also learn all about renewable energy. Large batteries that can store electricity for transportation and wind and solar generation are the next big industry. These batteries are the key to clean technology.
As the song says, “times are changing”. They sure are. As Detroit collapses, the writing on the wall is clear: Electric cars are the future. It is an incredible vision and you can be a part of it today!
Latest international cost of living ranking

The ranking of general international cost of living indices is reported in April 2010 using New York as the base city. The indices are calculated using the prices of specific quantities of the same goods and services at each location, based on expatriate spending patterns across 13 broad categories (basket groups).
The cost of living studied is the cost of maintaining an expatriate standard of living. When comparing the cost of living between different locations, the goal is to calculate the difference in the cost of living and express this as an index of the cost of living by dividing the cost of living at Location A by the cost of living at Location B.
The cost of living index reports the difference in the cost of living between the 2 locations for the same items purchased. For example, an index of 140 means that the location is 40% more expensive than the comparer location. This would mean that a person moving between the two places would need to earn 40% more to have the same standard of living as they currently have.
Tokyo is the most expensive place in the world for expats. Tokyo is also the most expensive place in the world for accommodation, while it is the fourth most expensive place in the world for shopping. Brasilia has climbed 9 spots from October 12, 2009 to be the third most expensive place in the world to live for expats. Sydney has skyrocketed in the rankings to 10th place, having been in 15th place in January this year. Dubai has dropped another 8 spots after dropping 9 spots in the previous quarter to fall outside of the top 10 and is now ranked 26th, but interestingly enough it is still the most expensive place for restaurants, dining out and hotel costs.
The one that rose the fastest is Ashgabat in Turkmenistan, which climbed 94 places from 257 to 163. The relative cost of living of expatriates in Gibraltar has also risen considerably, rising 94 places to 92. South Africa has seen a significant increase in the global cost in terms of life mainly due to the strengthening of the Rand. Cape Town has climbed 53 spots to rank 193.
Alcohol and tobacco is most expensive in southern Tarawa in Kiribati, followed by Moroni in the Comoros and Oslo in Norway. Clothes are most expensive in Manama, Bahrain, followed by Moscow, Russia. Education is more expensive in Caracas, Venezuela and Brasilia in Brazil. Groceries are more expensive in Kiribati. Oslo, Norway is the most expensive for transportation.
The full list of general international cost-of-living classifications for January 2010, along with the previous quarter’s classification, and the classification change is as follows:

Dear reader:
I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up this one. However, it wasn’t long before I found myself completely immersed in the world of Matt, Joe, and Aaron.
Life After Joe is told from a first-person point of view, giving us a very intimate look at a man who has lost the only person he loved throughout his life. When Joe leaves Matt after almost a lifetime together, Matt stays behind to pick up the pieces of his life and start over. What follows is a downward spiral of emotional pain and self-degradation that nearly brings Matt to his knees. It’s when Matt meets Aaron that he begins to see a glimmer of hope and a life after Joe.
What I found wonderful about this book was Mrs. Harper’s ability to introduce us to emotional history through Matt’s voice; and he has a very distinctive voice. You are easily transported to his world and you feel at the same time a kinship by his longing and pain. He was particularly committed to Mrs. Fox’s honest portrayal of Matt. He is a vulnerable and flawed character who reacts to circumstances in his life and there are no apologies for that. This makes for a perfect setup for Aaron. Aaron is not a person who ‘reacts’, rather he is a man who thinks before acting. The juxtaposition of these two characters highlights what has been lacking in Matt’s life and the question is whether he can finally take stock of his life and fully re-engage in life and not someone who is completely mired in his life. own pain.
Ms. Fox has drawn in fine lines the world of a man at a crossroads in his life and the decisions he makes to find a path to life after heartbreak. Life After Joe is an intimate and engaging book and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

What is the Google algorithm?
PageRank (PR) is an algorithm used by Google Search to rank websites in its search engine results. Google makes changes to its ranking algorithm almost every year.
In previous years, Google made a small update to its algorithm. Now Google makes thousands of updates every year.
Google implements most of the changes are minor, sometimes it implements major algorithm updates such as Panda, Top Heavy, Penguin, Pirate, Hummingbird, Pigeon, Possum, Mobile that significantly impact the SERPs.
1. Google Panda:
Release date: February 2011
Risk: low-quality content, plagiarized, or little content.
On February 2011, Google launches the first updates called Google Panda. It means reducing low-quality content, thin content in search results, and returning unique and engaging content. Panda is updated every time by Google.
2. Google Penguin:
Release date: April 2012
Risk: Spam or irrelevant links, paid links.
On April 2012, Google introduced the Penguin update to remove bad links or irrelevant links. when payment links are available, the website will be penalized. When a new Penguin update is released, sites that have taken steps to remove the bad links (using Google’s link disavowing tool).
3. Google pirates:
Release date: August 2012
Risk: Copy content, reports of copyright infringement.
On August 2012, Google launched the Pirate update algorithmic changes that penalized sites frequently accused of hacking. The motive for the pirated updates was to penalize the sites with repeated copyright violations, as presented via Google DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) system.
4. Google Hummingbird:
Release date: August 2013
Risk: Keyword stuffing; low quality content.
On August 2013, Google launched the Hummingbird update to produce more relevant search results by better understanding conversations and the meaning behind queries. While synonyms, relevant keywords are still important, carefully research related searches and coexisting terms.

3 tips for choosing a replacement battery for your cell phone

Today, mobile phones are much more than communication devices. For example, they can be used as a daily planner, music player, game controller, web browser, or navigation device. Now, you can’t get by without your smartphone. The problem is that running a lot of apps on your phone takes a lot of battery power. Therefore, you may have to buy a new phone battery in about a year. Here are some tips to help you buy the best battery for your phone.
1. Know your phone model
If you go for the best replacement battery, we suggest that you know your smartphone model and the type of battery you will need. Today, many smartphone operators tend to rename their cell phones.
So what you need to do is know the actual model and name of your smartphone instead of relying on the name assigned by the carrier. This is important if you want to get the right kind of product.
To find this information, you can consult your user manual. Also, you should write down the IMEI number, as well as the serial number and type of the battery. To locate it, you need to check the inside of the smartphone. You can find it on the sticker on the bottom of the product.
Apart from this, you should review the purchase details of the smartphone. Most of today’s smartphone batteries come with a 12-month warranty period.
2. Contact the manufacturer of your smartphone.
On the Internet, you can easily get information about the manufacturer of your cell phone. They can cover the cost of the replacement battery. If they do, you may want to provide them with proof of purchase for your phone.
Other than this, you need to contact the carrier and manufacturer to find out if you can opt for a third-party battery pack. According to some manufacturers, the use of third-party units may void the warranty.
3. Buy a replacement battery
If neither the carrier nor the manufacturer agree to cover the cost of the replacement battery, the only way out is to buy it yourself. In this case, you have the freedom to opt for an original or third-party product.
Before making this purchase, don’t forget to do your homework. Make sure that the one you are going to buy is made with high quality ingredients. If you go for a low quality product, you will not be able to enjoy a long battery life. After all, you don’t want to end up buying another unit in a few months.
Bonus tip
It is important to dispose of your old batteries through a proper recycling process. You can search online for a recycling facility near your residence. They can recycle dry batteries for free. This is important if you want to keep your environment free from contamination.
In a nutshell, we suggest that you follow these three simple tips if you are purchasing a replacement battery for your phone.

How Laminate Wood Floors Can Give The Impression Of Real Wood

Wood is a very attractive flooring option, which is one of the reasons it is such a popular choice. Hardwood floors look great in any room in the house too, so you’re not limited in terms of where you can place them. For many, however, having hardwood floors is simply too expensive, so they will have to look for cheaper alternatives. Flooring alternatives like carpet and linoleum rarely look as good as hardwood floors, but the cost often means there are few options. However, if you still want a wood floor effect, you can choose a laminate wood floor that is realistic and very affordable.
Like the real thing
Not only does the laminate option look like the real thing, it shares some of the other benefits as well. Cleaning the surface is very easy and generally requires little more than sweeping. The surface is waterproof and stain resistant, so you don’t have to worry about liquids spoiling the surface effect. Another advantage is that, unlike wood floors, it is very difficult to scratch the surface, which means that it remains in excellent condition for longer. Like wood, laminate flooring is ideal for young families with children and pets because, unlike carpets, it is resistant to wear and tear and does not get dirty or wear out quickly.
How does it work
The realistic wood effect is achieved by having a photographic image of a real wood floor, which is then reinforced so that it can withstand being used as a floor. In some cases, the images are so realistic that it can be very difficult to distinguish them from the real ones. Also, since the floor is made up of images, it means that you are only limited in your imagination. By mixing and matching different styles of laminate wood flooring, you can customize your flooring to achieve exactly the effect you are looking for.
Hassle-free installation
You don’t have to be a skilled carpenter to install your flooring, it is very easy for you. You don’t even need to use glue or nails, as the interlocking pieces help ensure your flooring sits firmly in place. Plus, having something so easy to install means you can have it in any room in the house you want. The benefits flooring brings you mean that it can also be used in circumstances where other types of flooring would simply perish. For use in rooms like the kitchen and bathroom, for example, materials must have resilient qualities and laminate floors offer just that. With such great looks, flexibility, and longevity, it’s no wonder so many people are turning to laminate as a flooring option in their homes.
3 effective web design strategies to increase conversion rates

1. Information should be placed where users expect to find it.
Even when viewed for the first time, a website should often be able to provide the information that potential and existing visitors need.
Contact details and other vital information should be placed in the most visible part of the website, such as the upper right corner of the header, which is where users expect to see them. Additionally, it is also wise to further emphasize such information by adding contact details in the footer along with an online map of the site’s physical store location. Also, CTA buttons, navigation menu, and forms should be placed in a clearly visible part of the website, such as under the header and in the center.
The user experience of the site should be like the exceptional service provided by a fine dining restaurant, where everything is offered on a silver platter. Online users like to get the information they need quickly and easily. Therefore, all vital information should be placed where visitors anticipate finding tit.
2. Call-to-action (CTA) buttons should be emphasized.
A website needs call-to-action buttons to optimize conversion rates. Even if your visitors are well informed, you need to encourage them to go where you want. Therefore, there should be a call to action button on every web page. It is important that the CTA is aligned with the objectives of the business strategy for any reason, such as taking them to the contact page, the products and services page or the registration forms.
A call-to-action button will be effective if it is designed in a way that is easy to see and click. Viewers will not stop seeing it if its color contrasts with the background. There is no right or wrong color, but the advice is to choose a button color that stands out from the rest of the site’s color palette. Another idea to consider is to surround the CTA button with blank spaces to emphasize it even more.
3. A well-designed website is simple and easy to navigate.
In the past, it was the standard to fill websites with all the information that can be included, in the hope that visitors will find everything they need to know. However, the trend of web design has changed and you are now taking a minimalist approach, with a simple and clean design, while the information remains clear and direct.
The key characteristics that allow a well-designed website to convert successfully are simplicity and cleanliness. When first viewed, a clean website shows professionalism and credibility. These are critical to establishing trust and branding. A simple web design can also convey ease of navigation and offer a great user experience. A website should be easy to navigate so that visitors immediately get the information they need.
It is important to apply a visual hierarchy when adding design elements to a website. The most important items should be organized in places where users can easily find them. Using a lot of white space is also a good consideration. Also, flashy design elements and motion effects should be kept to a minimum, as too many design elements could distract users and slow down a website’s loading time.
Potty training a child with a developmental delay

The most important thing to remember when potty training a child with a developmental delay is that potty training may not be until your child is much older than their peers. As a parent, you may want him to potty-learn sooner, but like any child potty-learner, he won’t learn it until he’s ready. You can start potty training your developmentally delayed child when he’s ready. Your little one may get stuck in the pre-potty training step for a long time before you see potty training success, but be patient. He will figure it out eventually.
Here are some potty training ideas you can do with your child with a developmental delay.
-Teach him the words for urine and feces. You can use whatever words you want for this. During diaper changes, talk to him and be sure to tell him about “pee” and “poo poo.” If you are not speaking yet, don’t worry, your receptive language (what you understand) may develop before your expressive language (what you can say).
-If he’s walking, take him to the bathroom when you go to the bathroom. Let him flush the toilet or sit on the toilet. If you don’t want to sit on the toilet or if you freak out, back off and have fun. Having him sit on the toilet when he’s not ready will only make potty training more difficult.
-Give him a potty or a potty. Don’t worry if you don’t use your potty anytime soon. Let him sit when he wants. You may not actually pee on the potty, but it does allow you to enjoy your potty and being a big kid.
Signs that your child is ready to begin potty training.
– You can walk alone to the bathroom.
-He can take his pants off and on by himself.
-Can understand simple instructions
-He has regular bowel movements
-He is able to communicate his needs to you
-Is interested in wearing underwear
-He is not afraid of the bathroom
-It alerts you when your diaper is wet or dirty or you remove the diapers.
Once you start showing signs that you are ready to begin potty training, take it easy and be patient. Take him to the potty and let him sit on the toilet or potty. He may not actually go to the potty, but as long as he’s happy let him sit on the potty for a while. He may like to sit on the potty like a big kid, but not understand what he’s supposed to do. Do not worry. It will get there eventually. Let him practice sitting on the potty once or twice a day. First thing in the morning and right after nap are good times to let him try to sit on the potty. If he is frustrated or you are feeling frustrated, take some time off.
It may be months before you have a success, but one day you will be pleasantly surprised when your developmentally delayed child finally urinates on the potty. The first success is always the most exciting, but don’t be surprised if the first success is not followed by another. When my developmentally delayed son started potty training and finally succeeded, I thought “eureka, he finally succeeded.” Only to be disappointed when he didn’t do it again for another two or three months. Keep plugging in and let her practice sitting on the potty. Over time, your success stories will become more frequent and you will eventually be fully potty trained.
Classic Game Review: Time Ship
Judith Kane knelt on the dais and carefully read the plaque under the coffin. “Kill most of the birds!” the inscription is read. “Mmm!” Kane thought with his best Sam Spade cynicism showing through “looks like I can blame Howard the Duck.” […]
Judith Kane knelt on the dais and carefully read the plaque under the coffin. “Kill most of the birds!” the inscription is read. “Mmm!” Kane thought with his best Sam Spade cynicism showing through “looks like I can blame Howard the Duck.” She left the dais and faced the surrounding mist as Bertram Trench, an incredibly inept android assistant, followed her. Suddenly, a band of fog dwellers attack.
Judith fired her faithful Smith & Wesson, only to find that she had missed the plump little denizen of the mist that was approaching her. “Damn,” he cursed with a 1940s understatement, “Sam Spade wouldn’t have missed!” The mist dweller attacked and slashed his knee. “Wasn’t it supposed to be neck blackjack?” He fired again and saw the attacking mist dweller fall into the orange dust in agonizing death, then turned to face the next attacker.
TIME SHIP (TS) is not just another adventure game. It is a role play system. In TS, players can travel the stream of time through an ancient knowledge of mind power and universal energy. The system documentation is excellent for setting the parameters of the game environment.
Unlike many systems that are restricted to a certain period of time, the task and / or adventure modules that will be published at a later date will be free to explore any historical or historical epoch. The documentation helps the first-time player set up the system by guiding the newbie through the process of creating a player and data disc. The player disc can contain character files for up to 10 players. After creating the player data and discs, the program prepares the player for play and allows the character generation process to begin (Time Traveler’s Guild Registration). Like many role-playing systems, TS begins by quantifying attributes. Unlike some RPG systems, the amounts by which basic attributes are described are determined by the player (not randomized). These attributes are: strength, charisma, dexterity, endurance and intelligence. The experienced RPG player will be familiar with its functions within the system.
The five attributes start at a value of 50 (below average) and the player has 60 points to spend on creating the character with a number of weapons to hit (WTHN) that reflects the character’s proficiency with that weapon (within 19 different categories). Each WTHN starts at 60 and since the lower the WTHN, the more likely a character is to hit, the player receives 60 points to subtract from the 19 WTHN categories. That concludes the character generation process (or guild registration). Next, in the tradition of most RPG systems, it is the player’s responsibility to equip their character. Of course, it makes a difference where you go on time in terms of what you will need on the adventure. In MURDER AT THE END OF TIME, the introductory module included with the basic system, the player is warned that weaponry is likely limited to the standard 20th century detective problem. The player is also warned on the module datasheet that many items that were brought into the Time sequence will be lost or diminished in effectiveness. These factors and the opportunity to choose one’s own team increase the interest in this game.
Unfortunately, the introductory module is not as well executed as the game system. The gameplay requires consideration of one’s “Charisma” value, but interaction with NPCs and suspects is extremely limited. For example, at one point the character meets a nymph in the forest. When attempting to initiate any form of dialogue and / or questioning with her, the character becomes discouraged with the assertion that she should not speak to strangers. At another point, when the character tries to question the deceased’s “butler,” he is told that Igor cannot hear. Also, one would think that after all the time spent creating a combat-ready character, one could start combat.
This is not always true. If one attempts to attack Igor, the player is told that Igor is unaffected by the character’s attack on his knee. I find it hard to believe that a revolver bullet is ignored as a pathetic attack, even if it is aimed at the victim’s knee. Why create an elaborate and well thought out combat system to use against the denizens of the mist and not against obstacles to one’s own investigation?
However, even the module has some cool features. I particularly enjoyed watching what the show does when writing obscenity. The show says, “Say you’re sorry, dummy.” It will not accept any additional keyboard input until the word “sorry” is entered. I also found the graphics in the module and the fast scrolling text pages for the basic system to be aesthetically pleasing.
However, the module contains too many dead ends, some of which act like a Deus ex machine. For example, knowing that pressing a certain button causes the character to fall through an opening in the iris into the cargo hold of an alien ship, Judith Kane tied a rope to a stationary object and pressed the button. When Judith was unable to find an exit from the cargo hold, she began to climb the rope, only for a denizen of the invisible mist to pull the rope up and out of her reach, moments before she grabbed it. Also, there are many times when it might be advantageous to do something destructive to escape or investigate, but the program simply will not allow one to do so. Spelling mistakes are also distracting. It is highly unlikely that the deceased was killed with a wooden “steak”, unless it was prop food with a very sharp edge. Also, one gets the impression that I noticed at the beginning of this review that the phrase “Killing most of the birds” is an important clue.
Watch for misspellings and avoid frustration. I’m impressed with TS as a potentially interesting game system, but was disappointed in how the introductory module didn’t take advantage of the system’s strengths. One can only hope that the modules of future task (where the character must perform an action, i.e. assassination, rescue, etc.) and adventure (where the character is allowed to explore a temporary environment to solve a given problem) will use more of the system’s built-in functions. If the modules of the future take advantage of those strengths, Five Star will give Info COM tremendous competition.
