If you’re a savvy investor, right now is a great time to buy real estate. Of course, the mainstream media would have you believe that real estate is a terrible market for everyone right now, but the fact is that there are some great opportunities out there for the right investor.
One great chance for smaller investors to own shares in a big institutional piece of property is known as “Tenant In Common” or TIC. According to Cardéa Real Estate and Asset Advisors, “In a TIC investment, each investor owns a ‘fractional, undivided interest’ (a portion) of a real estate asset.” This means that smaller investors can team up with other smaller investors in order to own a small piece of a much bigger pie.
With tic property, there are some different rules than with regular real estate, but they also offer some of the same advantages. One advantage is that you can do a 1031 exchange into a TIC property. This is a great way to shelter your real estate profits from taxes while rolling them over into a viable new investment.
TIC investments typically provide a positive cash flow, and when TICs gain value, you profit. Of course, there are no guarantees that you will profit, but history dictates that there’s a pretty good chance of it.
TICs are sold by registered securities dealers to accredited investors, so bear in mind that you need to meet certain criteria to invest in them.
There’s no way that you haven’t heard about what a problem identity theft has become if you pay attention to anything you hear in the news. Granted, most of the news is a lie, or at least a partial lie, but identity theft really is a growing problem. In fact, according to ConsumerAffairs.com:
For the seventh year in a row, identity theft tops the Federal Trade Commission’s complaint list, accounting for 36 percent of the 674,354 complaints received between January 1 and December 31, 2006.
That statistic certainly scares me. In fact, I have been the victim of attempted bank fraud, so it really can happen to anyone. If you want to be protected from identity theft, you need to take matters into your own hands, rather than relying on your financial institutions to do it for you. I have been lucky, and the two times that someone tried to steal my financial info were quickly thwarted by my financial institutions, but who know if they’ll be so quick next time.
You have most likely also heard of LifeLock. I’m sure you have heard those commercials on the radio with Todd Davis, the CEO of lifelock, sharing his Social Security Number with the world. If he’s that confident in his product, I feel pretty safe saying that I am too.

Next weekend, October 19-21, 2007 will be The Wealth Expo New York, sponsored by MyWallSt.net: Your Financial Social Network. The Wealth Expo is a great opportunity for investors to network with other investors, chat with representatives from some of the largest public and private companies in the world, and to attend seminars to boost their earning potential significantly. The Wealth Expo covers everything from stocks to real estate and even investing in gold, so whatever your investment of choice happens to be, you’ll gain plenty of great information.
My personal interest is in real estate investing. In this changing real estate market, many opportunities will be appearing for those who know what to look for and how to handle what they find. On Saturday October 20th at 1:30, Ocean Star Estates, LLC. will present a session called “Investing in Ocean Property.” This is the session that interests me the most, and I imagine that it’s a session that many people would be interested in. Whether it’s for investment purposes or just for a personal home away from home, who in the world doesn’t want to own a piece of ocean property?
Either way, arming yourself for the coming change in our once-booming real estate market is beneficial to anyone willing to listen. The more you know, the more you know how to use this change to your advantage, rather than being sucked into the foreclosure black hole that far too many people are going to get sucked into.
So check out the Wealth Expo, and increase your earnings potential exponentially!
The schedule for the Wealth Expo is as follows:
Friday, 10/19: 1 p.m.-6:30 p.m. EDT w/ a cocktail hour to follow
Saturday, 10/20: 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m. EDT w/ a cocktail hour to follow
Sunday, 10/21: 9 a.m.-4 p.m. EDT (no cocktail hour)

A few months ago, I took my car to EZ Lube. They got me to spend about $200 on a radiator flush, oil change, and tranny fluid flush. After seeing this video, I’m wondering where in the hell my money went. I’m also VERY interested in finding out why in the fuck my “check engine” light comes on intermittently after my trip to EZ Lube and never did before. Makes a person wonder, doesn’t it?

If you conduct any business at all on the Internet, or even if you just advertise your business online, search engine optimization (SEO) is essential to your success. Everyone from local real estate agents to corporate purchasing agents to online entrepreneurs can boost their sales and success astronomically with the right SEO company.
Improving rankings within the natural (non-sponsored) listings is Customer Magnetism’s specialty. That means that they can put your company’s website right where you want it, and exactly where your customers are most likely to click. Since sponsored links only get clicked about 30% of the time, this means that many more customers will end up on your site, and not on your competitor’s.
Customer Magnetism’s services range from a few hundred dollars per month to thousands per month depending on what you need them to do for you. Their 90% renewal rate shows that their services actually work, and that their clients are actually benefitting from what they do. Unlike those bargain basement SEO companies who just tweak meta tags and use other uneffective techniques, Customer Magnetism actually gets under the hood and optimizes your site in ways that other companies don’t.
If you have a website, turn it into the marketing powerhouse that it should be. Contact CustomerMagnetism.com today and skyrocket your profits!
