+Invest: Wholesale Real Estate Investing

Consider these parameters for a real estate deal:

Property Value: $250,000
Purchase Price: $160,000
Repairs: $2,500

If you analyze the numbers, you see that the equity available in this deal is $87,500 (Property Value minus Purchase Price minus Repairs).

So here's a hypothetical question for you: Assuming that the information above is accurate, and the property is located in an area that you view as acceptable and/or favorable, then:

If I offered to give you this deal in exchange for $10,000 in cash, would you do it?

Remember - this is hypothetical. The real question here is this:

Would you exchange $10,000 in cash for $87,500 in equity?

For most savvy investors, the answer is: Absolutely YES!

This is called "Wholesale Real Estate Investing" - the process of buying a lot of equity at a very significant discount from another real estate investor who has already done the hard work of finding a deal and getting it under contract.

Just think about that - consider how easy real estate investing would be for you if you had a network of real estate investors in your area (and maybe even all over the country) who, several times each month, offered you the opportunity to purchase significant amounts of equity for a severe discount...

...It would be quite easy to become wealthy, fairly quickly, wouldn't it?

The answer again, is: Absolutely Yes, it will.

It is through smart "wholesale real estate investing" that you can increase your net worth by $20,000 to $100,000 on every real estate deal that you do.

...Now the burning question becomes, "Where exactly do I find these wholesale real estate investing deals?"

I know of at least 3 solid sources...

You've got to admit - it will be a pretty wonderful thing when you know how to find great real estates deals in which you can trade a small amount of cash for a large amount of equity without even having to find the deals yourself...

...And that's exactly what "wholesale real estate investing" is all about.

So let's get right to it. Here are 3 places to find wholesale real estate deals:

1.) Visit the local real estate investing club in your area. Almost all of these clubs have networking opportunities to work with other investors who wholesale deals regularly, and this is an easy way to find great opportunities.

2.) Watch for ads in the newspaper, television, and in other media that advertise slogans like, "We Buy Houses", or "Sell Your House in 9 Days" or anything similar to that. Most of the time, these people are real estate investors, and they are happy to wholesale deals to people like you.

3.) Watch your email-box. Why? Because if and when you choose enrollment in various free e-courses online, such as that via tm-RealEstateInvesting.com, you'll be provided with automatic notification about great local and national deals as they become available. But be forewarned - you've got to act quickly whenever these deals are announced, because obviously the response is always significant.

Happy Hunting!

+Loans: Guide to Personal Loans

There are many different types of loans available and you should be aware of the implications and responsibilities of each one before you sign on the dotted line. Some of the more common credit types are:

• Revolving (A line of credit extended to customers who may use it as often as desired up to a certain dollar limit)
• Charge (No pre-set spending limit, however, the user will be required to repay any balance in full each month) and
• Installments (goods are supplied and payments made by the purchaser at a pre-determined date in installments over a period of time).
  

Another consideration should be the interest rate as it is applied to the loan. Your research should clearly define the following:

• Interest Rate: By far the most important consideration when borrowing money, interest rates can be calculated in a myriad of different ways. You should be aware of the costs involved in the various methods of interest application on your loan. Obviously you will want to secure the lowest interest rate possible, yet you should be aware of determining factors like penalties for early repayment, mandatory payment protection insurance and other charges add to the cost of your loan.
• Term of Loan: Generally the shorter the term, the more advantageous it is to the borrower. Longer terms translate into more interest charges and higher costs to you.
• Annual Percentage Rate (APR): APR is basically the cost of credit as a yearly rate and takes into consideration the total amount financed, the finance charges and the term of the loan. An APR does not usually coincide with the posted interest rate.
  

The bottom line for all credit-based transactions should be that credit is good when it is used to enhance your lifestyle as opposed to being a burden that can ultimately destroy your peace of mind and your credit score.

Always try to stay within your means when obtaining credit. Loans should be set up with repayment plans that are geared to your income and your ability to pay. Consumers should always take a step back before they succumb to impulse buying. Use common sense every time you are tempted to jump on the "buy now and pay later" merry-go-round of credit debt.

+ Net $$: 9 Myths and Facts about Google Adsense

1. Myth: Since wide ads (336x280, 300x250 and 250x250) are effective in many websites, it must also be doing the same thing in my website.

Fact: Not really. Every website has its own characteristics; you cannot just follow what people said and then hope that your CTR will drastically increase. Try to do your own experiments with various ads and placements. Perhaps ads unit that are not effective in another website are your most profitable ads.

2. Myth: It's profitable to develop website that's targeting high paying keywords.

Fact: Perhaps, if you really are a Search Engine Optimization expert. It is correct that when these high paying keywords are clicked, you will get a huge amount of money. But do you realize how many people out there who also think the same thing? I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands; and you will face bloody competition to reach the top position in SERPS (Search Engine Result Pages). Without top position in SERPS, there will be no visitor; without visitor, there will be no one who clicks on your ads.

3. Myth: High Traffic + High CTR = High Income.

Fact: It is a perfect equation if only there is no smart pricing. High income depends of several factors, such as smart pricing and what type of website you run. Some types of websites (such as forum) have high traffic but they do not generate many incomes from Google Adsense. Smart pricing also affects it. I have seen many websites with high traffic, high CTR, but totally low income.

4. Myth: Be careful if your traffic suddenly increases (perhaps because a popular website features one of your articles), Google might think you are doing spamming.

Fact: Nonsense. Google is able to detect your visitors from their IP addresses (if you are not net savvy, just imagine IP address as your phone number; every time you make a phone call, it will be recorded on your phone company). If you're doing spamming, there is big possibility that all these IP addresses will be exactly the same. Beside that, Google is able to detect who your referrer is (where your visitors know your website from). If they find out that a popular blog/website is linking to your website, they will surely understand. So, don't worry about this.

5. Myth: If Google suddenly bans your Adsense account, there is no chance you will be able to defend yourself.

Fact: Some people agree with this, but some other give contradictory facts. Many webmasters complained that Google never gave them warnings and suddenly terminated their accounts. In fact, Google even didn't give them any explanations what their fault was. Strangely, some other webmasters gave contradictory facts. Firstly, Google always gives two warnings before they finally close an Adsense account. Secondly, if you can prove that you never break Google Adsense TOS (Terms of Service) such as doing click fraud, then they will reactivate your account.

6. Myth: Google Adsense will make you millionaire within a couple of months.

Fact: Wake up! It's not time for daydreaming! You must treat Google Adsense as a real business. And just like another real business, it takes times and efforts to be successful.

7. Myth: Repeating visitors will stabilize your Google Adsense incomes.

Fact: Big mistake. In fact, repeating visitors even easily suffer ads-blindness. Since they regularly visit your website, they know where exactly you put your ads (except you rotate those ads everyday), and will avoid them. Getting new visitors everyday is more effective for your Google Adsense incomes.

8. Myth: The only way to monetize your Google Adsense account is by placing their ads in every website/ blog you owned.

Fact: Fortunately, no! There are many ways to use your Google Adsense ID (known as “Publisher ID”) now. One of them is by using it for “revenue sharing”. What is that? There are some forums that ask you to enter your Publisher ID when you register in their websites. They will use this ID to generate Google Adsense ads that will be displayed in every thread you participate in. If these ads are clicked, they will split the income: 50% for you, 50% for them. One of the forum that provide this facility is http://forums.digitalpoint.com

9. Myth: People who got tens (or even hundreds) of thousands dollars from Google Adsense must own a single website that is visited by millions of visitors a day.

Fact: Not all of them. In fact, many of them even admitted that they got those checks by developing many small websites. For them, it is easier to generate $40,000 from 40 small websites than generate $40,000 from a single website.

+ Getting UK Car Insurance Guide

Remember back when you had to travel from insurer to insurer or spend hours on the telephone ringing up possible insurers to find the best deal on car insurance? Who actually has the extra time anymore to run all over town? Besides, the odds aren’t in your favor that you actually found the best deal, anyhow. That’s why so many of us are now shopping on the World Wide Web for those tough to find items that require comparison shopping, with insurance being at the top of the list. Here’s a quick and easy guide to getting car insurance in the UK.

1. Service is a top priority. What good does saving a few pounds do for anyone if your claim is constantly placed at the back of the pile, your telephone messages go unreturned, and you’re inconvenienced for weeks on end? These things are called accidents are for a reason, and the entire scenario can be exhausting enough without your insurer dragging their feet at every possible avenue. So before you agree to the terms and conditions of an insurer, be sure to check their customer satisfaction ratings and for any complaints filed.

2. Price is another important point to consider. And the best way to get the best price is by comparison shopping. Be sure to inform any potential insurer that you will be getting multiple quotes from other insurers. This will help to keep them at the top of their game and at the bottom of their price.

3. Have your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) ready. Just because you’re driving a Honda Civic, it doesn’t mean that you’ll be paying the same rate as someone else with a Honda Civic, even if your driving records are exactly the same. Your auto might have anti-lock brakes and an anti-theft device of sorts, while the other might have an expensive sound system. All of these things will have an effect your individual quote and final price.

4. Don’t be afraid to say NO! If you don’t need the extra coverage for compact discs, don’t buy it- no matter how much the insurer tells you that it’s a good idea to have. You’ll need basic collision to protect your car, comprehensive to protect others, and a few other tidbits depending on your individual situation. For instance, perhaps your auto has a loan from the bank attached to it. In this case, you are technically not the owner of the car--the bank is, and they can demand as much insurance coverage as they’d like on their investment.

5. Just because something is easy, it doesn’t mean it’s bad. There are some highly qualified websites out there on the Internet who will do all of the comparison-shopping for you. Such a service is free, as you, the insured, do not pay for this service; the insurance company you choose picks up the bill.

+ Mortgage: Shop Around for a Mortgage

If you have decided to take the leap into home ownership or you are interested in refinancing your current mortgage, one of the first things you will need to do is track down a mortgage.

I honestly can't tell you just how many mortgage companies there are in the United States, but I can tell you this, there are a lot of them.

Mortgage companies also come in a few different forms. You might recognize one as your local bank, but there are also wholesale lenders who use not only there own loan officers to originate mortgages, they will also use mortgage brokers. Than you have your retail lenders, who use only their own employed loan officers.

Because there are so many mortgage companies out there, the industry has become highly competitive.

So before you commit to the first lender you approach and start filling out applications, look again, and consider shopping around. Like I said, the mortgage industry is highly competitive, so let them fight over you.

You don't have to go crazy when shopping for a lender. No more than five inquiries should be your limit. Talk with them, find out what programs they have to offer, and at what rate. Ask about closing costs. Remember, closing costs should not exceed 5% of the total amount of the loan at the very most. (This does not include the down payment).

By shopping around, you will be able to get a feel for what is out there, and whatever lender offers you the best deal to fit your needs and your budget, should be your lender of choice.

The down fall to speaking with one lender is, you are limiting yourself too just their products and services, as well as their rates. How do you know you can't get a better deal somewhere else? Most likely you can.

Shop around for a mortgage the way you would shop around for a car. Look at a few of them at different dealerships, test drive them, discuss pricing with the sales person, than once you and the selling party have come to an agreement, make the purchase.

Buying or refinancing a home is not something you want to rush into. So take your time and educate yourself. Talk to people within the industry, shop around, than make an educated decision based on what best fits your needs.

+ Insurance: How to Choose a Health Insurance?

Medical costs have been increasing at an alarming rate throughout the world. It is becoming hard to avail the best medical attention at this present cost. But our endeavour of never compromising on the quality of medical attention we should get makes us shell out more and more from our pocket. Health insurance thus is a financial risk management tool whereby one is able to minimise the cost of medical attention.

As with any insurance, in Health insurance too one has the insurer and the insured playing their part. While the insured pays premium for the health insurance cover to the insurer; the insurer in return is obliged to pay the medical expenses if the insured gets sick. But there are some diseases for which the insurer is not to pay for the medical expenses. Such diseases that are excluded from the purview of the health insurance should be stated in the policy document.

The following are some of the questions that should be answered by you before choosing a health insurance.

• What does the insurer offer? What would be the monthly premium? Does the premium lessen on taking a group insurance (family insurance) rather than an individual health insurance?
• What does the health insurance cover? Does it cover costs incurred on home care, medical bills with or without prescription, out-of-hospital care etc? Is there a limit on the number of days the insurer will cover the payout for these services?
• Do you have any ailment at present for which you may not be covered with the insurance policy? What is the time period that you have to wait for taking advantage of the insurance cover?
• What are the diseases or incidents for which you cannot claim for the cover?
• What deductible is applicable in that particular health insurance?
• What percentage of the medical expenses you have to shell out from your own pocket?
• What would be total amount of premiums you have to pay during a year to avail that health insurance cover?
• Is there a maximum amount designated by the insurer on the insurance policy after which it would not pay?
• Do you have the freedom of choosing the hospital or doctor of your choice with the health insurance?
• Does the health insurance cover the medical expenses you incur in your travel outside your area or abroad?
• Can I upgrade or downgrade the level of health insurance cover?
  

If answers to all the above stated questions are satisfactory then only you should go for health or medical insurance of that particular policy. Plus one should also know that these insurance policies are no way substitute for NHS (National Health Services).

You can avail a health insurance policy cheaply and with discounts by going online. Availing health insurance from an online agency is the best bet as one does not have to go through rigorous documentation that comes with availing any health insurance.
