April 2017 Real Estate Ezine
About the month of April :
April is the fourth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar, the fifth in the early Julian and one of four months with a length of 30 days. April is commonly associated with the season of spring in the Northern hemisphere and autumn in the Southern hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to October in the Northern hemisphere and vice versa. April is the second rainiest month of the year (after July).
“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away.
Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed
with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt –
Two guys are out hunting in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t appear to be breathing, his eyes are glazed over. The other man pulls out his phone with trembling fingers and calls 911. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?”
The operator says “Please stay calm. I will help you. First of all, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There’s a silence, then a gun shot. The guy gets back on the phone and says “OK, now what?”
If you are like most people, the idea of riding the stock market ‘roller coaster’ makes you feel a little queasy. The highs can be a lot of fun, but the lows really give you a kickin’ (and there seem to be a lot more lows than highs for most investors).
While real estate also follows a cycle, it tends to be a much more gradual one. Investing in revenue properties offers us limited immunity from fluctuation.
This means that you don’t tend to see the massive ups and downs of the stock and commodity markets. It’s a much gentler ride, and tends to provide very solid returns on investment over the long run. This is another reason I prefer real estate investing over other kinds of investments.

March 2017 Real Estate Ezine
About the month of March:
March – is the third month of the year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. It is one of seven months that are 31 days long. In the Northern Hemisphere, the meteorological beginning of spring occurs on the first day of March. The March equinox on the 20th or 21st marks the astronomical beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, where September is the seasonal equivalent of the Northern Hemisphere’s March.
“A funny thing happens in real estate. When it comes back,
it comes back up like gangbusters.”
– Barbara Corcoran –
Little Johnny asks his father:
“Where does the wind come from?”
–
“I don’t know.”
–
“Why do dogs bark?”
–
“I don’t know.”
–
“Why is the earth round?”
–
“I don’t know.”
–
“Does it disturb you that I ask so much?”
–
“No son. Please ask. Otherwise you will never learn anything.”
If you went in to your stock broker and said “Hey, I’d like to buy $100,000 worth of Apple Stock, but only if they’ll give me a 10% discount” – what do you think would happen? After your broker stopped laughing, he or she would explain that it doesn’t work that way. What the stock is trading for is what you’re going to have to pay. Take it or leave it.
Real estate on the other hand is much more flexible. It is quite common to be able to get a $10K, $20K or even $50K or more DISCOUNT off the asking price of a property. All that’s required is a bit of knowledge, some negotiation skills, and simply ASKING for it!
Getting a bargain on what I buy is another reason I love real estate over almost any other kind of investment out there.
