Investing in Multi-Family Properties Not For The Faint Of Heart

While our initial investing advice to customers new to income properties is to begin with single family residential homes, eventually moving up into multi-family apartment complexes allows the investor to take advantage of the economy of scale. The economy of scale simply means you have a centralized location for building maintenance, rent collection, and other property related chores. Actually, you shouldn’t think of it as a chore because, chances are, the thing is going to make you a hefty chunk of money over the long haul.

Wealth Creation Strategies With Mobile Apps

We all know there is nothing hotter on this planet right now than mobile phone applications, or “mobile apps” as the painfully hip like to say. That and $3 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks, right? Wrong! This trend is the perfect opportunity to jump in, promote your business AND create loyal customers in the process. You don’t see it? Here’s how it works.

This is NOT What We Mean By Packaged Commodity Investing

We decided to censor the picture up there because the grossness might cause you to lean forward and hurl lunch remains onto your brand new iPad. We don’t wish to add to the amount of gratuitous violence in this world, so decided to post a picture of a puppy instead. A nice, safe, cute little puppy. The actual picture we could have included portrayed a packaged commodity investor who REALLY got it wrong and ended up electrocuting himself with 700 trillion live volts.

Is Starbucks Stealing Your Home Ownership Opportunity?

There’s a story from New Zealand about how people on above average wages ($70K annually) cannot afford to buy a house, even in the face of tumbling prices. Yes, home ownership is in mortal peril there. Let’s hop across the Big Pond to America. Is the same scenario at work here? We don’t even have to do an official long-term study to tell you the answer to that question, “Yes!” The problem is not that random coffee cups attack you on the way home and complete a forced removal of cash from your pocket.

Financial Education for the Real World

This ain’t MTV but it is the real world. Unfortunately, most of us received a pretty paltry financial education in school; we’re lucky if it even included basics like balancing a checkbook or evaluating investment choices. While each individual can decide for themselves whether or not this was some sort of vast conspiracy concocted by the powers-that-be to keep the average American financially ignorant, the good news remains that this ignorance can be quickly remedied for free with the resources at JasonHartman.com.

The Government-Entitlement-Complex™

Over the years, much has been written about the “Military Industrial Complex” that is composed of defense contractors and politicians who are believed steer public policy and create wars for the express purpose of perpetuating their base of power. This narrative has been picked-up by conspiracy theorists who point to this alleged unholy alliance as the fundamental cause of our nation’s economic difficulties.

Passive Income Doesn’t Come Much Easier Than This

Most people would agree that passive income is better than money you have to actually go out and work for and, in our humble opinion, the more passive the better. We’ve talked in this forum before about the wealth generating possibilities of membership sites but a permutation on the idea recently caught our attention that makes the thing easier and potentially more profitable.

Vaccinating Against the Gold Bug

Gold is a well known commodity that has generated a tremendous emotional attachment for many people and investors. Phrases such as ‘gold plan’ and ‘gold standard’ have become commonplace in the contemporary vernacular. One of the most significant population migrations in the United States, known as the “Gold Rush,” occurred when a large population of people left the east coast to California in search of this well known ore.

Stealing Cars for Platinum

Do you know what your car sounds like without a catalytic converter? Hopefully not but, unless you’re careful, you might find out. A recent rash of converter theft and the subsequent surge in platinum business at local recyclers is more evidence that Jason Hartman may be onto something with his idea of Packaged Commodities. You remember the gist? The parts of an investment such as a car or house are worth more than the sum of the whole.

Investment Advice in the Face of Specious Arguments

Jason Hartman has been dispensing valuable investment advice at no charge for many years now. One of the hardest misconceptions to overcome is the idiotic notion that there is a national housing market that moves in one monolithic lockstep direction at a time. We’ve rebutted this false characterization so many times we probably say it in our sleep.

The Secret to Online Marketing is Three Websites

Conventional wisdom says you need a website to succeed in online marketing. The truth is you need three, or at least a website with three distinct sections. Most web designers will provide you with a static, brochure-like informational page that looks very nice but converts next to nothing in sales. This is the old way of doing business online – like two years ago. The maturation of the internet marketing process, and rise of blogging platforms like WordPress, make those old websites look like geezers.

Investment Property Works When Other Assets Don’t

There’s nothing worse than scraping through life, bouncing from one failed or under-performing investment asset to another: stocks, bonds, and mutual funds if you follow the herd; gold and other precious metals if you listen to the gold bugs; forex if you really want to go for a wild ride. And then we come to a rarely contemplated asset called investment property.

Online Marketing with Popup Windows

When it comes to online marketing with popup windows, people generally fall into two distinct schools of thought. They hate ‘em or they really hate ‘em. Sometimes a third point of view sneaks in that really, really hates ‘em. You know what we’re talking about? When you click to leave a website, usually one that consists of nothing but a sales letter, this big darn box pops up in the middle of your screen and won’t let you leave until you agree to subscribe to their free newsletter or you manage to locate the tiny, barely visible x that allows you to close it.
