Let's go to the Real Estate "common sense" corner...what's really going on and what you really should consider. Solutions to getting into great real estate deals now. How does risk free real estate sound?
People trying to ride the wave of real estate can either jump in or be paralyzed by what they hear so let's get some facts on the table. Keep in mind, since there is no ceiling in real estate it means there is no bottom. Is real estate too risky? It can be if you don't know what you are doing. Consider house prices in California, stated in "the people history"; 1950 prices were around $14,500, 1960 prices around $18,500, 1970's around $26,600. What about now?
Look at what Zach Fox from the North Country Times in Calculated RISK Finance & Economics states in another Deal of the Week: Riding the waves in Oceanside (California). He states, "The featured 2 BR 2 BA condo sold for just under $100 thousand new in 1990. It went into foreclosure during the early '90s California housing bust, and was resold in 1995 for $33,000.
By 2000 the condo was above the original selling price. And then "rode the bubble" to an outrageous price. The condo went through foreclosure last year and sold in February for less than the original price in 1990! Adjust that return for inflation ..."
What does all this mean? If you knew how to read the market, understood what the current conditions were saying during the 1990's, would you have seen this wave coming?
History shows clearly the prices have gradually increased over each 10 year period. What I have come to learn is most people avoid the real estate arena because; they are scared to jump in, big time fear holds them back , they don't have the time to really know what or how to make a smart buying or selling decision, especially a lack of knowledge being so afraid to be "taken", rightfully so!

Common sense tells us we still have 3 basic needs which never go away.... food, water and shelter (www.MoneyMama.biz). We are still bringing babies into this world, our bodies require water and we still need a place to live. I invite you to get educated (www.MoneyMama.biz) and learn how simple, easy and smart it is to invest in real estate now. Learn what it takes to remove the fear of being "taken", understand buyer beware statements. Experience the opportunities of applying knowledge to make smart buying and selling decisions. Know how to benefit from real estate no matter what time you have available.
Knowledge alone is not power. Knowledge applied is power. Learn how to take charge of your financial situation today. If you are a first time home buyer, learn how to buy a property at wholesale. That means if the market goes down you are still in a position to have purchased at a great price. If the market goes up, you are sitting pretty. If you own multiple properties, buy more. Learn when and how to make smart buying and selling decision either in a good market, flat market or down market. Would that not give you the upper hand in today's economy? If you feel you are a seasoned investor, don't discount getting educated even if you believe you already know it all. Remember you don't know what you don't know.

Depressive or Impressive Retirement?
Retirement is subjective. Since 1986 we have been given sole responsibility to build our retirement. We past the buck, literally; past our hard earned "bucks" to someone else to manage. Are we depressed or impressed with our results?
I'm one of those in my early 50's learning more about how I can create an impressive retirement. A retirement portfolio that takes care of giving me a strong sense of security and the satisfaction of what I accomplished. The government won't have a hand in my retirement because I learned how to play their game. I learned how to keep my portfolio protected and safe to use without penalties. Isn't it time you do the same? www.MoneyMama.biz
I read an article from Andrea Coombes in MarketWatch on Social Security. As she pulled the statistics on how many use Social Security for their sole retirement portfolio, it was amazing and sad at the same time. WOW, really sad to see someones lack of responsibility for their own welfare. In reality, did they have a choice? We were handed the sole responsibility to manage and grow our own retirement since 1986. The government handed it back to us, sadly without any direction. The only choice was to hand our money off to someone who sold us on them knowing what they were doing. In essence, we gave our money to someone who saw a need and started up a business. If they can do it, why can't we? We can start up our own business and build our retirement within the same boundaries as they can. www.MoneyMama.biz
I want to be the one who is secure from my own efforts. Learning the game and play by the rules, rules the government set up. Andrea states: "if you're in your mid-50s or younger, it's time to make alternate arrangements.The program's dismal outlook has long been known, but the recent economic crisis further scarred the program's finances, bringing closer the day of reckoning when receipts no longer cover benefit payouts."
Social Security was a great plan. A plan for those who worked their whole life for someone else. A system for the government to take care of their elderly. What happens if you didn't take that path? or you didn't retire from a "job" after 30 years? Now what? Here's a few thoughts; Working for someone else, the slave, save, retire theory isn't working in 2010. Jobs were created to recover from the Great Depression era, that was the Industrial age. We are now in the Information age. Traditional education grew out of competing for jobs, doing what was required to show employers you are better qualified. Once again, set up to get through the Industrial age. What can we do to position ourselves in the Information age?
Let's learn from the past and learn how to harmonize the two eras. The Industrial age, during and after the Great Depression was a time people had years of nothing, then years of great abundance. They learned how to stretch the dollar vs learning how money works and grows. When the abundance started dying down, credit cards came into play. Buy now and pay later. Look at where that has got us? So in debt and we don't have a clue on how to get out. We haven't learned how money works and grows! 1% of the wealthy have earned and built their wealth through business ownership and real estate investing. Are you ready to join the 1% club?

Enjoy the day!
I'm sitting in our backyard arbor enjoying the beautiful summer weather. I watch as cars go by busily going here and there. I reflect on my business and have learned to create a business that keeps working whether I am or not. I can sit outside and enjoy the knowing I am making money no matter what I choose to do. That my friends is Freedom to me. I took it upon myself to figure out how to create what I have. I educated myself on how to work smarter not harder ... which I did so often. You see I believed if I was busy, I was productive. NOT! Working to create a working system that works automatically, nothing is more powerful. I also educated myself on what to do with the money I generate. Do I hang onto old techniques? Do I hold onto old habits? Depend on other's knowledge believing they have the answer? Depend on others to really be concerned about my finances? NO....NO again and again! I educated myself with sharp instructors who walk their talk. Learned how they set up their business', learned how they understand Taxes, learned how they think, how they act to simply duplicate their results. AMAZING!!!!

You know as I have been learning how to put this blog together I have learned so much about Internet and Internet marketing. I'll continue to post what I've learned...Great way to generate income while you are off doing what you love to do. I am in AZ taking care of my newest grandbaby #6, Emma Lillian. Still working my internet business, generating leads and still creating income!!! How does it get better than that? I knew it was possible but never experienced the result. I'll keep this post short and sweet! Internet marketing is what I call freedom. Learning to live life on my terms and in my timeframe!
Create yourself a great day!

Random thoughts...
As I sit outside enjoying the beautiful weather, thoughts keep coming back to my friends. They are amazing people! They have so much to share. My family is among those I consider my friends. They are so inspirational to me. They have and continue to teach me so much about life.
What's amazing is during a coaching session, I usually learn more than my client. I am blessed to coach the best of the best. They come to me because they are losing sight of who they are. They are struggling with understanding why they do what they do. They are challenged with accepting who they are but after a few sessions they begin to see what I see. They understand more of who they are, experiencing their purpose in this world and is free to take that forward momentum to the next level, step by step.
It really doesn't matter in what area you are moving towards. In Real Estate Investing, marketing, business, personal development, we learn step by step, line upon line. It's the law of the harvest. We can not expect the seeds to grow in 24 hours to harvest them. Why then do we believe we should be entitled to gaining results within 24 hours?
Life is an amazing journey. I love how every day offers something new :)

It's time
Hi Friends,
A few thoughts have been going through my mind. Salt Lake & Cheyenne are open markets in Real Estate and for business networking. Getting started will take some leadership to assist me in offering an opportunity of a lifetime for those ready to take on their financial life. Those who are sick and tired of being sick and tired!!! Those who are in a position to seriously serve those in the Salt Lake & Cheyenne communities. Those who are ready to pay it forward to others. If this speaks to you, email me and let's get started!
Interesting point - Out of a 9.3% unemployment rate nationally....
Cheyenne, WY comes in at 7.0. Is there a need out there for new business'? YES!!! Is there a need in Cheyenne for business ownership education? YES
Same within Ogden/ Salt Lake, Utah Area, they come in at 7.0
I'm getting these statistic from US dept of Labor...http://www.bls.gov/web/metro/laummtrk.htm
Check them out for your self.
When I look at the Real Estate Market for both areas, they remain steady or flat as most know it. It's not an up market or a down market but a flat market, remaining consistent. Is there Real Estate deals out there? YES
Why are we not taking advantage of them? That answer must come from within, what is holding you back?
I believe Nouveau Riche is a solution. Nouveau Riche is like a HUGE gym, a place where you can receive the results you are looking for. However, there are some who buy into a "gym membership" and learn tons of stuff but never do anything with that knowledge. Those who watch the results as people come and go. Those who think, "I'll get there, it's just not a good time for me." Those who believe if they only buy into the gym but not participate they will still see results. But, those who are successful connect in with their local community. They get to know the personal trainers and learn from them everyday.
What personal development is needed? Once again, what we don't know we can't change. Come onboard to learn what the successful are doing, you can do it to. Success is a learnable skill!!!! I urge each of you to plug in. I know the power of Nouveau Riche, I know the power of the marketing plan. Is it time you find out for yourself?
Create a great day for yourself!!!

The adventure begins
I've started!!! I am not into technology but I have learned so much over the past 3 months. I now officially have an internet business. It's fun but I'm still scared!
Isn't this how we are with most things? Excited for something new but really scared to make it happen? Come to think of it, that was how I felt when I got into Real Estate Investing. Excited I finally found the way in but still so scared it was hard to finalize my first deal.
Well, with real estate I get it! That is why I have decided to become others training wheels to assist them in getting up and running. I work with them on their first deal, walking them through each step. Once they complete the deal they can now turn around and do it again and again!!! That is what drives me. Yes I get compensated because we split the deal, however, watching them see and feel the reality of it really working is the biggest payback. I love what I do.
I guide and direct others to live life in their timeframes and on their terms so they can do more and be more for those they love the most.
I invite you to add a comment on a time you were so excited to start something new but were still scared to pull the trigger. Together we can move forward....forward momentum is a choice!
Have a great week, it's a good life!
Jody
