<p>YOU CAN CREATE WEALTH</p>
<p>Yes, I’m talking about YOU – you can create wealth.</p>
<p>In the first place, it would be useful to understand the definition of wealth.</p>
<p>To the bankers and accountants, wealth simply means money in the bank, properties or shares investments.</p>
<p>I would like to give you a different perspective.</p>
<p>Donald Trump, who was in millions o<span id="more-1295"></span>f debt, flipped his position over night.</p>
<p>Mother Theresa, who walked the streets of Calcutta with zero dollars in her pocket, can call for millions in donations.</p>
<p>So what exactly is wealth?</p>
<p>Wealth is a form of energy &#8211; energy you emit if you have the right thinking and association with the right people.</p>
<p>Let me explain further.</p>
<p>Right thinking means having the right mindset. It starts from believing in yourself and your idea.</p>
<p>Remember the saying “you reap what you sow”. What you sow in your mind, you reap in your life. Your outer world is a mere reflection of your inner world. The reason is simple: You take action based on you what believe; you get the results based on what you act on. </p>
<p>Knowing this simple logic of belief, action and result, it is apparent that our belief system plays a vital role in our success – whatever success means to you. If you believe that you can be successful, if you believe you can be rich, than you will take action to work towards your goals. Though the result is not guaranteed, your effort will improve your chances of getting it.</p>
<p>The reverse is also possible. You believe you cannot be rich for whatever reason (maybe you did not have a great education). Hence you will not work on your goals and because of the lack of effort, the likelihood is that you will not get what you wish for.</p>
<p>Therefore, the first step to wealth creation is having the right beliefs, or changing your beliefs if your existing beliefs are not serving you. Although most people easily understand this, it is perhaps the toughest step in practice. A belief system takes years, if not decades to build up. It takes great determination to change what has been ingrained in our minds, and more often than not, many will not persist, especially if they do not see immediate results. </p>
<p>Right thinking also means having the right attitude, including being grateful for what you receive in life. Start by having gratitude for little things, such as having the food on your table.</p>
<p>Life is kind. The more grateful you are, the more you will receive.</p>
<p>Association with the right people means making a decision to be in a community of people with positive mental attitude. These are like-minded people; they are ready to support you in your quest for bigger things in life.</p>
<p>The right people will also inspire you, both with their results and lifestyles.</p>
<p>They inspire you because you see that your limit is not your limit. From what they have achieved, you realise there is so much more you can do. You realise that you can get what you deserve if you don’t compromise but instead set high standards for yourself.</p>
<p>You will also learn their habits – habits for success. You begin to develop routines that bring you closer to what you want.</p>
<p>Being in a circle of successful people means you can model after them. Some of them may even become your mentors or coaches. Success leaves clues. You can observe carefully what brings them success, and duplicate their formulas into your life. In other words, you don’t have to re-invent the wheel. You can learn from their mistakes as well. Anyway, life is too short for you to make all the mistakes by yourself!</p>
<p>When you have both the right thinking and association, you have what it takes. You will begin to see results. As you advance, it becomes easier because success breeds success. At this point, the law of attraction comes into play. You become a magnet, not only to money, but also to other successful people and good things in life. </p>
<p>Yes, you or anyone can create wealth, BUT, only if you have both of these – the right thinking and association with the right people. Start by making the decision to take that path&#8230; and you will be surprised what you will attract into your life. It’s your life – LIVE IT TO THE FULL!</p>

<p>Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through exploitation, creates an unequal society, does not provide equal opportunities for everyone to maximize their potentialities and does not utilize technology and resources to their maximum potential nor in the interests of the public.</p>
<p>Nazism, on the other hand, known officially in German as National SOCIALISM (German: Nationalsozialismus), refers to the ideology and practices of the National SOCIALIST German Workers’ Party or NSDAP under Adolf Hitler, and the policies adopted by the dictatorial government of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.</p>
<p>Hitler said in 1927, “We are SOCIALISTS, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance.”<br />

<p>When investing in Real Estate, you may choose to buy and rent a property, or you may choose it flip it, buy and sell quickly. The safest way to invest is to buy wholesale properties that are in the sweet spot of the rental market i.e. they are not in the best or worst neighborhoods. The goal is to find an investment property with a good, or great positive cash flow. This is how you will create wealth.</p>
<p>Positive cash flow i<span id="more-1291"></span>s the amount of money that is left over after all of the expenses have been paid on the property and what you can put into your pocket at the end of the month. Expenses that you deduct from the rent payments you&#8217;ve collected may include items such as operating costs, taxes, and the mortgage payment. The positive cash flow that one gets from a property will depend upon three different things: the amount of the rent being charged, the amount of the mortgage payment, and the cost of operating the building. To create wealth by investing in real estate, analyzing these three things is crucial.</p>
<p>Using borrowed money to finance your real estate investment is how many investors make a profit. They simply make money off borrowed money. One way to get good cash flow is to make a small down payment on the property, making certain you acquire a mortgage that is lengthy and low-interest. Basically, a lower mortgage payment means you will be getting a higher cash flow.</p>
<p>For example, if you purchase a four-unit apartment building for $125,000 and rent each apartment for $600 each month, you will receive $2,400 a month. Less your mortgage payment of $625 and operating expenses of $300, you should have a cash flow of $1,475. If, however, your mortgage went up to $925 per month, you would only have a positive cash flow of $1,175 each month. The key is to get the lowest payment possible and keep your operating expenses down.</p>
<p>Another method of keeping a positive cash flow is to take out an interest-only loan. This type of loan usually is a short-term loan, usually about a five-to-ten year length of time, in which you are paying the interest only. After the period of the loan is up, you will need to either sell the property or refinance. This, however, does give you a low payment and will help you to get a higher positive cash flow from your investment property.</p>
<p>With a positive cash flow coming in from your investment property, you can use this to help you acquire more investment properties. One way to do this is to refinance your current investment property, using the money you get to help you acquire another investment property and so on. In this sense, you are creating positive cash flow from several properties and you haven&#8217;t had to pay the capital gains tax on the original property as you did not sell it, but instead, refinanced it to help you purchase more properties.</p>
<p>The most important thing to remember is that if you want to create wealth by investing in real estate, you must maintain a positive cash flow on your properties. By making certain your mortgage payment is as low as it could be, keeping the operating expenses at a minimum, and pricing the rent amounts correctly, you will find that you will not only create a positive cash flow, you will be able to create the wealth you want for yourself.</p>

<p>In this Creating Wealth Podcast overview, Jason Hartman talks about Economic Deliberation with Gillian Tett, Britains Financial Author and Journalist of the Year. CreatingWealthPodcast.com http  <H3>Frequently question about property and creating wealth</H3>How do measure the wealth generated from free online projects?<br />I&#039;m a big fan of Wikipedia, it&#039;s my main page and I&#039;ve spent hours and hours reading articles. I was reading about Wikipedia in the article Wikipedia when I read this:</p>
<p>&quot;In a study of Wikipedia as a community, economics Ph.D. student Andrea Ciffolilli argued that the low transaction costs of participating in wiki software create a catalyst for collaborative development, and that a &quot;creative construction&quot; approach encourages participation.&quot;</p>
<p>So that got me thinking, intellectual constructs are a form of wealth, just think of all the intellectual copyrights out there. But how do you measure the wealth and intellectual property generated from a project that&#039;s never been sold? How much richer is the world and each individual when they benefit from an Open-source project?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://thm-a03.yimg.com/nimage/dc1555ad7fc06f78" width="150" height="120" alt="Flip It Or Rent It, Deciding How To Create Wealth With Real Estate"></div>
<p>Real Estate has always been a tried and true type of investment that can offer both short and long-term gains, is relatively safe and creates wealth for millions of investors year after year. But, before you purchase a property you must determine if you want to flip the property or rent it out. We all know how the real estate market fluctuates, sometimes we are in a buyer&#8217;s market and sometimes we are in a seller&#8217;s market. What <span id="more-1292"></span>you do with your investment may depend on what is happening in the market and how much you pay for an investment property.</p>
<p>Knowing When to Flip a Property<br />
Buying a property and selling it fast, a.k.a. &#8220;flipping&#8221;, can provide huge profits if done right. The key factors to look at are the purchase price, the condition and location of the property and knowing how to &#8220;comp&#8221; or determine how much comparable properties are selling for (and how fast!). </p>
<p>Generally speaking, if you plan to pay a lot of money for a single unit investment property, your best bet is to turn it around quickly and flip it. Expensive investment property comes with big property tax payments and big mortgages, which usually will rule out any cash flow for renting. Locating renters for higher priced homes can be difficult, and if they miss a rent payment for one or several months your cash flow may not only totally disappear, but you may take a loss.</p>
<p>If you can buy a property at wholesale prices that only requires cosmetic changes, you should be able to flip it for a nice easy profit. Look out for property with major structural problems, a.k.a. a &#8220;money pit&#8221;, especially if the price was priced high to begin with. Before you buy property that needs any major repair be sure to assess not only your financial resources, but also the resources of your work force. Do you already have relationships with different types of contractors and other skilled labor professionals? Just be sure to look at the whole picture before you decide to flip a property.</p>
<p>How to Know When to Rent a Property<br />
If you&#8217;re looking for a nice monthly cash flow and building equality over time, you may want to rent your investment property. Renting is generally a much safer type of real estate investing. The key factors to look at are the price of the home, if the area where you are investing has growth potential, and the condition of the property.</p>
<p>Lower-priced investment property will translate into a lower monthly payment, lower property taxes and lower priced insurance. You can buy several lower priced investments and spread out your risk of both tenants that don&#8217;t pay and buying a property that turns out to be a money pit. Remember, when you&#8217;re renting out a property you are building equity by using your tenant&#8217;s rent money.</p>
<p>You also want to determine if the area where you are investing in is growing. Do you notice a lot of new construction in the area? Do you see new business moving in? Is the location near an urban area, with plans for a new infrastructure? Properties located in growth areas almost always net the largest gains over time.</p>
<p>When you invest in a growth area you can make money flipping a house, but you may be able to make considerably more money if you rent it out, build equity, and sell it for a much higher price at the optimum time. You may not make as much cash-flow in a growth area, but the property value may go up so fast that cash-flow doesn&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s Not Just About the Bottom Line<br />
Deciding whether to flip or rent out a property is not easy, assess the market, do the math, and then consider your own interests and abilities. The perfect flip may not be for you if you have no construction or renovation experience, and becoming a landlord may just not be for you period. In the end, it&#8217;s not just about what&#8217;s best for your pocketbook; it&#8217;s what&#8217;s best for you.</p>

<p>There are currently thousands of homeowners across the country worried about stopping foreclosure on their properties. Foreclosure is simply a legal process through which lenders can repossess a real estate property on which the home loan has not been paid. After three months of non-payment by the homeowner, lenders can usually start proceedings to repossess the property and resell it. Losing a home through foreclosure causes immense stress, can <span id="more-980"></span>ruin a credit rating, and, of course, leaves a homeowner without a place to stay.</p>
<p>Anyone who is facing the possibility of losing their home needs to take steps for stopping foreclosure immediately. In this process, time is of the essence and homeowners should be quick to seek help as soon as they realize that they are going to have financial problems that may make it hard for them to meet their mortgage responsibilities.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a homeowner who realizes that mortgage bills may have to go unpaid, you should contact your lender immediately. Even before you miss that first payment, call your lender and explain the situation. Most lenders, contrary to popular belief, do not want the foreclosure process to take place. Lenders are in the mortgage business, and do not really want to own real estate. Plus, many lenders face pressure from shareholders and bosses when a loan they have approved his defaulted on. It simply makes the lenders look as though they have poor decision-making capabilities when it comes to granting mortgages. For all these reasons, lenders are often willing to work out an alternate payment schedule or are willing to work out some other option with a homeowner who is genuinely in trouble.</p>
<p>The worst thing that homeowners can do is to ignore the problem. Stopping foreclosure depends on fast action, not on ignoring the problem. Financial problems rarely go away instantly, and homeowners need to be proactive when looking for foreclosure solutions. In many cases, when homeowners are in serious financial trouble, they can use the money they have already put into their home in order to get out of financial jeopardy. Homeowners who own their home free and clear can sell their home for cash. This instantly reduces the amount of money they have to pay for maintaining the property, and also gives them the money they need up front to start over financially and get back on track. Unfortunately, selling a home can take months through a real estate agent. In cases where a homeowner is facing foreclosure, there may simply not be that much time before legal action is taken. For this reason, many smart homeowners turn to <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.WeBuyHousesForCash.com" target="_blank">www.WeBuyHousesForCash.com</a> for help selling their home in just a few days for quick cash.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://thm-a01.yimg.com/image/56e0d03d88255e3c" alt="Tips For Your Real Estate Finance and Investment Strategy" width="250" height="180" /></div>
<p>You may have decided you would like to start investing in property but you are not exactly sure how to go about it. One thing you should do before you begin is to research the financing options that may be available to you.</p>
<p>Most people, when they first begin their endeavor with property investing, find that financing is their only means of purchasing property. The following is some information regarding real estate financing and i<span id="more-919"></span>nvestment strategy that may be beneficial to you.</p>
<p>When you hear the term &#8220;leverage&#8221; applied to real estate financing and investment, you will find that this term simply means to use borrowed money for financing your property investment. Your initial investment will be the money that you use for a down payment.</p>
<p>In order for this leverage to be beneficial in your real estate finance and investment strategy, you will want to secure the borrowed money at a low-interest rate and make sure the term of the loan is over the longest period of time that is possible. This is to avoid yourself from being tied up in the property and having least money for your own or other investment usage.</p>
<p>You do have to remember, however, that the risk of your investment is tied in directly with leverage. If you place a small down payment on the property, the leverage is high and the ratio of the amount owed to the value of the property is high, making the property a high risk. The more money you put as a down payment on the property, the lower the leverage and the lower the risk.</p>
<p>Many, in their real estate financing and investment strategy, use pyramiding to acquire more properties. What this simply means is that you are using the equity on one property to help you purchase another.</p>
<p>For example, you purchase a property for $100,000 by making a down payment of $20,000 and borrowing $80,000. The properties value at the time of the purchase is $110,000. Six months later, you have a positive cash flow of $1,000 a month on the property and its value has increased by $40,000 due to your renovations. You now have equity of approximately $70,000 or more in the property.</p>
<p>You take out a home equity loan of $30,000 and this is used for the down payment of another investment property. This is also known as pyramiding and is a real estate finance and investment strategy used by many.</p>
<p>Pyramiding through sale is also another real estate finance and investment strategy used by many, as well. In this method, when your property&#8217;s value has increased, you sell instead of taking out a home equity loan.</p>
<p>In the example above, if the same property was sold for its value of $150,000, you would use the money to pay off the initial loan of $80,000, deduct your initial investment of $20,000, what you have paid in interest and principal, as well as the cost of renovations, to discover you&#8217;ve made a profit of approximately $25,000 to $30,000 in a matter of a six-month period. This money can then be used as a down payment on another property.</p>
<p>Before you begin investing in property, it is crucial to understand what real estate finance and investment strategy you plan to use. However, it is also important to understand that property investment comes with risk. Research the facts and figures before you make any decision with your real estate finance and investment strategy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://thm-a03.yimg.com/image/4db88279a20c0a9e" alt="Why Should You Buy Investment Real Estate  In College Towns?" width="250" height="180" /></div>
<p>Now seems to be the best time to invest in properties in college towns where housing demand is high due to a soaring rental market according to the New rules of real estate by Business 2.0 Magazine. With home prices still out of home buyer&#8217;s range, and homeowners selling their homes due to rising interest rates, rents are expected to increase nationwide. This makes buying investment property in rental markets such as college towns an attractive o<span id="more-896"></span>ption, one that is already being pursued by investors. Rents are expected to rise by 5 % by the end of this year according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and investors are looking at college towns with increased interest.</p>
<p>There are two major reasons why it is prudent to buy investment property in college towns now. When compared with other rental markets, the rentals in apartment buildings in college towns are much stronger and hence more profitable. This has been augmented by the fact that apartment buildings in college towns are fewer in number. This demand for apartment buildings has also increased due to the rising admissions in colleges mostly from the Gen Y or the echo boomers, which has further increased the asking rates in the college town rental markets. These properties have a low vacancy rate, especially in buildings located near the campuses. Investors in commercial apartment buildings also get to increase their rent with the mounting demand making such investment a highly profitable venture.</p>
<p>So if you are a prospective landlord who has decided to encash this favorable situation, then you can start with choosing the college town that has the lowest ratio of university-owned beds to the student population. As Michael Zaransky, co-founder of Prime Property Investors in Chicago says, prospective investors would do well to pick the college towns that have the ratio of university-owned beds to students at 30 % or lower. One should also look into colleges that propose to expand their student ranks by 2 or 3 % every year.</p>
<p>Investors should also need to take into consideration the disadvantages involved in owning commercial apartment buildings in college towns. The business could be trying sometimes, and involves risks with college policies liable to changes and the difficulty involved in predicting volatile student demand. However, considering the high rate of returns that the investment has to offer, the pros seem to far outnumber the cons making buying investment property in college towns a smart option.</p>

<p>Buying home, condo or any other real estate in a market that is protected from a bursting bubble is every investor&#8217;s dream. Knowing where to look for these bubble-proof markets and how to identify them is crucial.</p>
<p>There are some important factors that investors should consider when searching for stable investments such as single-family homes, condos or any other type of real estate. Some of these factors include a fast growing popu<span id="more-891"></span>lation (which positively impacts the demand for housing), a solid and diverse economy (which impacts employment rates and subsequent demand for housing), rising incomes (which impacts buyers&#8217; ability to purchase real estate), a developing infrastructure (which contributes to the appeal of a city or community), and restrictions on future real estate development (which limits future supply of real estate). Investing in real estate within communities that meet these criteria may prove to be more profitable than communities that are missing one or more of these factors.</p>
<p>A recent report by <em>Business 2.0 Magazine</em> identified U.S. cities that have consistently demonstrated price appreciation in the real estate market. The October 2006 issue of the <em>Magazine</em> identified the top 5 real estate markets that demonstrated an upward price trend over a long period time. The top-ranking cities were:</p>
<p>1. San Francisco, California</p>
<p>2. Los Angeles, California</p>
<p>3. Seattle, Washington</p>
<p>4. Boston, Massachusetts</p>
<p>5. New York City, New York</p>
<p>San Francisco topped the list with an average annual home price appreciation of 4.2% from 1949 to 2006. In contrast, the national average was 2.3%. Strong restrictions on real estate development and a limited geography helped push San Francisco to the top slot.</p>
<p>Los Angeles ranked second in the report. The average annual home price appreciation in Los Angeles was 3.7% from 1949 to 2006.  Reductions in available land and increasing restrictions on further development helped pushed Los Angeles to the number 2 slot.</p>
<p>Home prices in Seattle, which was third on the list, demonstrated an average appreciation rate of 3.2% from 1949 to 2006. While Seattle made the top 5 list, recent easing of building restrictions may cause Seattle to fall out of the top 5 over the next few years.</p>
<p>Boston was fourth in the rankings. The city has seen annual home prices appreciate by 3% over the period from 1949 to 2006. A strong increase in per capita income contributed to Boston&#8217;s high ranking.</p>
<p>New York City follows close behind with an average annual home price appreciation of 3% from 1949 to 2006. A limited geography, large population, and finite number of properties contributed to New York&#8217;s high ranking.</p>
<p>While there is no guarantee that any of the real estate markets listed previously are truly &#8220;bubble proof,&#8221; the factors described above may help investors find the profitable markets and avoid &#8220;bubble&#8221; markets. Since the real estate market is constantly changing, be sure to seek out the services of a skillful real estate agent to help you navigate your next real estate purchase.</p>
