    Real Estate Investing: Infomercial and Mentoring Scams
    Flipping through late-night infomercials recently, I saw two real estate get-rich quick schemes, and I couldn't help but wonder--why do people still fall for those old scams? Has anyone really talked a seller out of his home for no money down with owner financing lately?Real estate infomercia

    Understanding Home Information Packs

    One of the biggest hurdles to buying your first home is coming up with the down payment. Alas, you may already have it and not even realize it.

    Long ago, you needed twenty percent of the value of the home you were interested in as a down payment. On a $300,000 home, that equated to a whopping $60,000. As you can guess, few people could afford such a cost on a new home. The mortgage industry slowly but surely evolved a more liberal attitude towards down payments. These days you need much smaller percentages of the value as down payments. At the same time, prices have risen dramatically, so it can be a catch-22 situation.

    Web Coach Tip: How Playing Checkers Can Improve Your Website's Profitability
    As a kid I remember spending endless hours in the summer playing board games in the barn or the maple grove with the neighborhood kids. Now, my daughter who owns a babysitting service is doing the same. I stopped in for a game of checkers and to do a brain dump! Or so I thought.For those of

    How Promotional Items Increase Customer Loyalty
    In general, it’s far easier to keep an existing customer than it is to attract a new one. Cultivating a long-term relationship with your customers is an important part of doing business. After all, it’s your return customers who provide close to 80% of your annual sales and business. What’s the best
    ment. Yes, there are programs that do not require them, but they often are not good deals. The primary reason has to do with the risk of getting upside down on the home. If you do not make a down payment, you have no equity in the home. If the value of the home drops, as we are seeing now in many parts of the country, you suddenly can owe more than the home is worth. Hopefully, the value will bounce back, but it is not a good situation to be in.

    When dealing with down payments, there are a couple of ways you can go about the process. The first is to simply save up money over time. The problem, of course, is this takes time. You can also borrow money from family and so on, but I want to focus on a lesser-known option.

    If you are a salaried employee, your employer may offer you a 401k program. You should be investing as much as possible in it given the pre-tax factor. Regardless, you should be vested i
