  • The Power Of Appreciation
    [Self-Improvement:Positive-Attitude] As we enter this holiday season, and this time of giving Thanks, we are reminded of the "power of appreciation". If you truly want to bring into your life everything that you desire, then start with appreciating all that you have now. Here's how it works – you bring into your life whatever it is that you focus your thoughts upon. So, if you focus on all the lack in your life, you get more lack.

  • Real Estate Investing - Take The Guess Work Out Of Your Wholesale Property Purchases
    [Real-Estate:Investing] We have become very concerned by the number of readers writing to us asking how to determine which are the wholesalers(*) that can be trusted. Why are we concerned? Because when we dig a little deeper, we realize that they are buying properties based solely on the recommendation of the wholesaler. They're guessing which ones to trust, and which houses to buy. That's a dangerous way to do business.

  • Real Estate Investing - How Much Should I Pay For This House?
    [Real-Estate:Investing] I probably answer this question for someone a couple times every week. The problem is that they don't have a good formula for determining the most they can pay and still make a profit – so they're scared to make any offer.

Some of you have even written asking us if there still ARE any deals left… OF COURSE there are! We find them all the time.

  • No Money Down Real Estate Investing - Fund All Your Deals With Private Lending!
    [Real-Estate:Investing] If you invest in real estate, you need cash to buy houses. Even if you have a full bank account and great credit, you'll eventually run short on funds - or short on time to obtain a loan - for the next deal. Private lending is the answer.
