That’s over 124 BILLION dollars in pork.

I’m especially fond of the 75 million to pay for salaries in the FBI. Were their projections so bad that they are already out of money, or is this evidence of Obama re-instating the failed Clinton policy of treating the Global War on Terror as a police activity?

How about another 650 billion to allow people to buy TV converters for the switch to digital. I never spent my expired coupons- how many other people ordered them and didn’t spend them? How much money has fallen through the cracks on this already?

400 million to prevent STD’s. I have one comment- zip up your fly- it’ll save us 400 million dollars.

Lastly 2 BILLION DOLLARS to fund a clean coal plant that has already been deemed a failure.

3 Million for the First Lady’s closet re-do

What Makes a Successful Real Estate Investor?

Sometimes a search through your bookshelf is like a treasure hunt. As I plucked Stephen Covey’s 1989 Seven Habits of Highly Effective People from my shelf, I believe I found some long lost gold. Flipping through the yellowed pages, I soaked in some of the long forgotten golden nuggets the book contains, and I pondered what the seven habits of a highly effective real estate investor would be.

I personally believe that the habits of a successful real estate investor are not particularly exceptional. I think that any person that wants to become a highly effective real estate investor can become one if they set their mind to it. Here is what I think the seven habits would be:

Habit One: Know Your Goals

The majority of the real estate investors I know set out with a goal in mind. I know a man that started investing by selling his house to buy two lots, on which he built a townhouse complex that had 8 units. Since then, he has started his own company and is building and selling hundreds of homes in Toronto every year. So, in this case, it shows how some goals may be simple, but can lead to much bigger things. Or, if goals are large they should be broken down into numerous shorter term goals.

Habit Two: Make Your Money when you Buy

It’s very risky to pay over market value for a property in the hopes that the rent will go up, the area will improve, and/or the property’s value will increase. The simple formula for long term success in real estate is to buy a desirable property below market value, in an area with a lot of potential for future growth.

Habit Three: Hire Help

Unless you plan to handle everything involved with the ongoing maintenance of a property, you should plan to hire a property manager. You may also want to hire an accountant to do the bookkeeping and the taxes related to your real estate investments. Additionally, a real estate agent is also someone you will want to find to help you in your ongoing quest to find properties to purchase. It shouldn’t be hard to find one that will understand your goals and will work with you to achieve them.

Habit Four: Use Just the Right Amount of Leverage

Leverage is a word you hear very often in real estate investing. Simply put, it’s when you put less money down on a house then the house is worth. For example, if there is a $100,000 house you want to buy, you can put in $10,000. If that house then makes $5,000 a year, you have recouped half of your initial investment. But if you put $100,000 down on that same house, then you’ve still only recouped 5%. The bad news about leverage is the amount of risk involved. That $100,000 house could drop and only be worth $90,000 or $80,000. Then you would be in the position of owing more on the house than it’s worth.

Habit Five: Find Good Partners

If you are starting out in the world of real estate investing without a lot of money, it’s hard to reach your financial goals if you aren’t willing to enter into partnerships with others. Your partners could be a family members, friends, colleagues, or even companies. I enjoy hearing success stories where someone with no money of their own enters into a contract on a property, but know they can make it happen by partnering up with another investor. My husband and I are millionaires from our real estate investing, thanks in great part to some of the partners that contributed equity to our investments along the way. Without them, we would likely only own half of the properties that we currently own today.

Habit Six: Be Persistent

When starting out in real estate (or even when you’re established) you’re going to hear the word “no” a lot, so make sure you don’t stray from your goals. Some of the people you could hear “no” from are as follows:

– Potential partners that are not able or not willing to get involved with a deal,

– Banks- banks can be very picky when it comes to lending money. This means you might have trouble with financing and other lending issues,

– Family – parents are the most likely place to start. You may often be turned down, but when they do say yes, interest rates will probably be pretty low,

– Insurance companies – so few companies want to deal with out of province landlords and it seems like we’ve been turned down by nearly every company in Ontario where some of our properties are located (we live in British Columbia),

– Property Managers – sometimes the Property Management company you want to hire isn’t interested in managing your property.

But even when we’ve been turned down by all of the above at some point or another, we don’t lose sight of our goals and keep pushing forward.

Habit Seven: Research – Always be learning

– The best investors are the ones that ask a lot of questions, keep their eyes open for new opportunities and do a lot of research. Many get right into the details of a city. They go to the municipal offices and pull the official plan. They get zoning details and applications. They talk to the city councilors about plans, they attend city council meetings and know everything that is happening in an area.

Not every good investor I know possesses every one of these habits. And I know there are habits that many good investors have that I haven’t covered. But as I thought about the most effective and successful investors that I have met or read about, I realized that almost all of them did possess each of the above habits. And, that anyone could really do what they did if they set out to establish these habits and practices in their real estate investing.

Ontario Real Estate Outlook 2010

Versatile real estate agents always keep their customers interests in the front of their mind, as Monica constently explores the GTA market place daily online. She remarks as a heads up, presale Toronto property undertakings are also well underway, including some high-end condominium hotels and high-rise tower residences that will transform the Toronto horizon forever.

And for seasoned homes in the GTA area, Monica states to add value, update the master suite, kitchen and bathroom to produce agood return on the investmentif it is time to sell. If you are ready to get into the real estate market in Toronto, then congratulations, there are great bargains out there, now with the interest rate at a low low rate of what 2.25% prime, if not less.

Housing starts are expected to improve throughout 2009 and over the next several years to gradually become more closely aligned to demographic demand, which is currently estimated at about 175,000 units per year, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (CMHC).

As a real estate agent, I highly recommend this. Monica can simplify your real estate search process by listening to your market and home needs. Once understanding your needs, she then utilizes cutting edge research technologies, along with contacting some of her information sources to find you the right home that matches your needs.

Every since her first day in real estate, Monica strives to help Toronto home buyers and sellers make better informed decisions by providing them with informative articles and up to date MLS listings, all related to the property they wish to sell or purchase. She is a wealth of neighbourhood knowledge.

In todays marketplace, you need a good real estate agent. And from I have seen, she prides herself on a level of customer service that is unparalleled by any other Toronto real estate agent. Talk to one of her past clients, you will see what I mean. Referrals are the ultimate compliment for a job well done, and almost every week, she gets a voicemail, a new referral.

So folks, from among the many Toronto real estate agents out there in the market, get the right agent, plain and simplem, your paying them alot of money. If you can not see eye to eye, or you dont feel a “in-touch with your needs” chemistry bond with the agent, it may not work.

So folks, from among the many Toronto real estate agents out there in the market, please verify first that you like the agent that you choose. If you can not see eye to eye, or you dont feel a “in-touch with your needs” chemistry bond with them, it may not work.

Development is essential when spotting the future it area. Infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, shops and restaurants are going to attract masses to the area. In addition, if there’s a bridge linking the region to another more preferable community, it will also attract more buyers.

Public Transportation is one thing to look for. If a subway, streetcar or bus makes up residence in the area, jump on and savour the ride. The presentation of public transportation can modify a community quite alot, particularly for monumental more populated areas.

That is why I highly recommend Monica as one of the best Toronto real estate agents that can work with. You truly get your money’s worth. Monica knows the marketplace, so you may be able to catch the next up and coming neighbourhood boom in Toronto before it happens. Call her.

All About Investing In Government Tax Property Foreclosures

You must have heard people saying that investing in forex trading is one of the best ways to earn quick money. Well, there is absolutely no doubt about this fact but it is also true that you will have to deal with wide variety of risks. That’s exactly the reason why you will be better off investing in real estate market where there are several options for you to invest in. For instance, you can invest in new homes, bank foreclosures, government tax foreclosure properties and more.

Although all types of real estate investment can help you reap some benefits but there is nothing compared to the profit margin associated with government tax foreclosed properties. It is an obvious fact that government has to take tax from people to provide them with all essential facilities. If few people will not pay tax, it will hurt the entire nation and that’s the reason why the government of US pays sufficient attention to tax collection.

Generally, a notice is issued about the foreclosed property and some grace period is allotted to a person, so that he may become able to pay his due taxes. In case, a person doesn’t become able to pay his tax, a public notice of government lien is placed in the newspapers. It is due to this particular reason that you must start searching for such properties by checking the local newspapers.

The best thing about investing in such type of property is that you can get a home at extremely low price. Actually, the prime objective of government is to take the tax and that’s the reason why the bid price will usually be equal to the tax amount and the administrative charges. But, it will still be much lower than the original market value of a home and that’s the real reason why you must consider investing in one such property.

The bottom line is that if you are interested in earning some quick money, try investing in government tax foreclosure properties. It is however crucial to mention that before investing in such properties you must pay attention to the rules and regulations prevailing in a particular state. Also, you must investigate hard to find what type of taxes and debts are associated with that property. So, invest in these properties but only after completing your homework or you will have to suffer the losses.

Forex News Straddling Strategy (Part VI)

A stop-limit order is basically an order that becomes a limit order once the currency reaches the designated stop price. Only when the specified stop price has been reached, the stop-limit order will instruct the broker to buy or sell at the specific price. At the specific price the stop-limit order becomes a limit order.

The main advantage of using the stop-limit order is that the trader can decide ahead of time the price at which the trade will get executed in the News Straddling strategy. However, the stop-limit order may not get filled at all. This is exactly what our strategy is. Either we get the price that we want or we dont trade!

Due to the fast moving nature of the market, the currency price may not stay within the limit range for the order to get executed. Second reason could be there is not enough supply and demand at the price at which the order is to be filled.

By placing the stop limit order, we are instructing the broker that the entry price is either filled at the limit price or better. If not possible than the order is not executed at all! It is better that the position is not filled at all if we are not able to trade at the entry price that we want. Using stop-limit order helps us avoid risking slippage.

However some brokers do not allow stop-limit orders on their platforms. Simply look for another broker that does allow it if the broker does not allow the use of stop-limit order. Simple as that!

The news straddling approach is conceptually similar to a channel breakout strategy. Most often, a horizontal channel is formed prior to the release of the news. This channel may be identified on the intraday 5 minute or 60 minutes chart.

First draw an upper line connecting the two highest points to form the resistance line. Second draw a lower line connecting the two lowest points, forming the support line. The two lines should form a channel. The channel should be roughly like 40 pips wide.

Once you have identified and drawn the channel on the 5 minute chart, monitor it for 20 minutes prior to the news release. A channel basically tells that neither the bulls nor the bears are over enthusiastic about their bias before an important new release.

Name of the game is that we either enter at the price that we want or we completely stay out of the market. Place your entry order not more than a few minutes before the news release. Place a stop limit long entry order a few pips above the resistance level and a stop limit short entry order a few pips below the support level of the channel.

For a long entry, a stop sell order is placed at least 20 pips below the resistance level. For a short order, a stop sell order is placed at least 20 pips above the support level. Each stop-limit entry order must be accompanied with a specified stop loss order and profit-limit orders.

What should be your take profit target? The initial take profit target could be equal to the width of the channel. A staggered profit taking could also be considered. You can set your initial profit objective for half of your lot size and you could set profit target equal to the twice the width of the channel for the rest of the position.

GE Supra Lockboxes Have Taken Over the Real Estate Market

Originally, the lockbox came in many different forms, whether it was a fake, or a keysafe that fastened to a door handle or utility meter, these boxes made it possible to enjoy a level of security while still proving access to the listing agent to show the real estate.

Old Lockboxes

Original lockbox systems required a small master key, the lockbox key, to open them. Although the key is still utilized

In the 1990’s, most of the lock boxes on home listings were of an electronic variety. The new keysafe systems were a leap ahead in the available technology as these new safes would record the access code of showing agents and provide the real estate agent that owned the listing with feedback on sales issues within the property.

GE Supra Ekey

As the technology progressed, GE Supra Ekey has come forward as the leading lockbox technology in the United States. The new lockboxekey operates using an infra red beam to unlock the unit and record the access. The newer state of the art systems now allow the realtors to open the lockbox simply by synchronizing up their mobile phone to the ekey device. The Supra Ekey lockbox system then records the access, as well as the details of the agent.

Ekey Lockboxes

GE partnered with another leading lockbox firm a few years ago to essentially take over the market. The new GE supraekey lockbox and intelligent keysafe system completely integrates with your brokers office to provide comprehensive control and access to all properties listed with that broker.

The Demolition and Construction Industries

Lots of buildings are built with a limited lifespan or simply become unusable and unsafe over time. When this happens, the land space that the old building is taking up is often worth a lot more than the building itself, and so the building must be safely deconstructed so that the next construction project can take get underway.

Demolition is quite simply, the deconstruction of buildings and the recycling of the old materials for resale in the construction market. There is a high demand for recycled materials in the construction industry and so whatever can be salvaged from the old building is cleaned, repackaged and either reused to make the new building, or sold on to someone else in the industry.

Health and safety is obviously a priority on a demolition site, particularly that of the workers on site. On a demolition site, as with any construction site, workers are required to wear a hard hat, a high visibility jacket, protective footwear as well as in some cases, eye and ear protection. Another factor to take into account is that asbestos might be present; if it is then the site must be properly decontaminated under very strict conditions.

Nearly all of the materials taken from the wreckage of a demolished building will be reused on a new building such as bricks, steel, slate and tiles etc that are still in good condition, however the materials that cant be used will be sold for scrap, and put to another use some time down the line, but very little, if anything at all is ever wasted.

How much it will cost to demolish a building greatly depends on the man-power required to sort the raw materials for recycling. If a big brick building needs to be taken down and the bricks need to be cleaned and stacked on pallets, then the cost will be considerably higher than that of a concrete building being pulled down by a crusher.

Finding a truly high quality demolition company can be a long process. The sort of company you should look for is one with a well established track record and a workforce with plenty of experience in order to have your demolition carried out with full confidence and competence.
