A real estate short sale is the sale of a property for less than what is owed on it by the owner obtaining permission from the mortgage company to sell the home at a discount and to avoid foreclosure.

Today, more than ever, homeowners are rapidly defaulting on their mortgages and to top it off, many homeowners are over-leveraged in their equity, even to a point of negative equity. They are literally upside down in their mortgage debt.

Homeowners are looking for ways to stop foreclosure and the short sale is a good answer because it will avoid foreclosure. It is a great relief when a homeowner knows that they can avoid a foreclosure and save their credit.

Short sales are great for buyers and investors because of the discounted property. The easiest way to spot a short sale is by the list price of the home. If a buyer or investor happens upon a home in a neighborhood that is priced far less that comparable homes, do not presume that there must be something wrong with the home. It is more than likely a short sale home.

The advantages for all parties involved is that the investor and the buyer can obtain a discounted property, the homeowner is relieved of a property that could have gone into foreclosure and ruined their credit, and the lender does not continue to lose money due to a foreclosed home that has to go through a long process in order to get sold, if at all.

The Short Sale process takes less time than a foreclosure and it actually benefits the homeowner in that the short sale is not over-burdensome and mentally draining to the homeowner. The owner is typically relieved that they can dispose of a property they can no longer afford. The buyer and investor are overjoyed because they can purchase a property at a discount and immediately have equity because it was purchased far below market.

When a home is purchased as a foreclosure, many times there is absolutely no equity in the home due to over extended credit from the banks and because any available funds must be used to pay off creditors. In a short sale, creditors must be paid as well, but the advantage to the buyer and investor is that there is equity because of the largely discounted price on the home compared to other homes in the same neighborhood.

The banks do not prefer foreclosures because there is usually not enough equity in the property to satisfy all creditors. And since there is no equity, there may not be any bids and the property goes back to the bank. The banks do not want an inventory of property, this is not why they are in business. Banks are in business to borrow money so that they can lend money. They can not successfully continue to do this when they have an inventory of property they can not get rid of.

Overall, the Short Sale provides a solution to foreclosure. This process can save many homeowners that are headed towards foreclosure.
Potential investors, buyers, and homeowners should not let the lack of understanding short sales prevent them from taking steps in this direction. The purchase of a short sale and the disposal of a property through a short sale can be a win-win situation for all parties involved.

There is still a ton of money to be made in real estate. You just need to know what to look for and have to guts to go after it.

Good luck to all,

Carol Wilson

The entire process of goal setting is almost as perfect as Mother Nature herself.

The only reason goals don’t work is if we don’t work them in the way they were intended to be used.

We are the only creatures on this planet that attempt to re-invent wheels and change a winning formula. Every other creature on this planet lacks the creativity that we humans have.

Yes, this creativity has taken many to great heights and helped them achieve extraordinary success. If you take the time to look back over history you will find those that have experienced this type of success have all been great exponents of the goal setting process.

Creativity has its place in the goal setting process. It is used to create the vision, explore possibilities and find solutions as you encounter obstacles.

When it comes to working the system of goal setting we must be disciplined enough to follow the system of goal setting and resist the temptation to short cut or change a winning formula.

The only reason that goals won’t work is if people don’t work the system. Sure you can try and slice it and blur the edges rather than do every little single thing that the process of goals asks of you. But who would you be kidding? A polar bear doesn’t try to skip hibernation for a year because he wants to do some extra fishing. There is a certain way he has to do things or it will cost him his life.

Universal Laws must be abided by in order for us to stay alive. It was Cecil B. DeMille that said,

“We don’t break the law we only break ourselves against the laws.”

If we ignore these truths which have existed for longer than recorded history we will find ourselves with the same fate of that of the polar bear that ignores the signs that the seasons are changing.

There are people who have come up to me and said that goals don’t work for them. They have become creative where they required discipline.

Take a good hard look at your achievement and ask yourself if you’ve been re-inventing a round wheel.

Think BIG! Act BOLD! Have FUN!

Beach real estate is attractive property, from both an aesthetic and a financial standpoint. Humans instinctively find large bodies of water both beautiful and relaxing, as there is an urge to “return home” every now and then. As a buyer in search of a place to live, you may be willing to pay top dollar to live in such a place. Anyone who has ever experienced the right plot of California or Florida real estate can attest to that.

For me there is nothing better than sitting on my balcony and feeling the sea breeze as I look over the vast ocean waves. It is something that is reinforced by Hollywood movies as most movies set in California feature California beach houses and seaside luxury estates. It has made these images part of the American dream.

These advantages of living near or on a beach make investing in beach real estate an attractive option as well. The beauty and desirability of the spot may make it easy to find and keep tenants, if rental property is what you’re after. You may also find yourself, as a real estate investor, in a position to own the land under the businesses of a thriving beach community. There is, however, a dark side to the beauty and fun of beachfront property.

The very thing that makes this type of property so appealing also provides opportunity for great storms to ravage the area. Those who own Florida real estate are well acquainted with hurricanes that tear their way in from the ocean and rip structures apart, uproot trees, drop large pieces of debris into pristine beaches and frighten away potential tourists and tenants alike. Flooding can render a house unusable and cause the owner to spend thousands upon thousands putting repairing damage. Even if a storm doesn’t make your beautiful property its victim, erosion probably will.

A real estate investor will also need to take into consideration the seasonal appeal that such an area may have and keep in mind that business will slow down significantly during winter months for any operations that are located on beachfront property. People familiar with California real estate are familiar with certain areas’ seasonal appeal.

That doesn’t make beach real estate a bad investment, however, because things tend to even out. As an investor, you may have to charge tenants more in order to make up for all the repair work you may have to pay for, but take a look at the business owner who wants to put a building on your land. Business owners know that they will make plenty of money during the area’s tourist season to offset the costs of storm damage and slow winter months. What it ultimately comes down to, is that the pros and cons of investing in property like this can balance out each other if its owner is savvy enough to know how to handle the finances.
He knows he will make enough money during tourist season to offset the costs of a slow winter, especially with properties like California real estate or Florida real estate. Even with all its potential excitement, beachfront property can be a lucrative investment.

Having a healthy spiritual life is one of the most important things in life… Prayer will help us maintain a healthy spiritual life…

Many people have asked me how I pray. Why? Not to brag, it’s just that God answers when I ask. That’s why people are interested to find out.

There’s really no big secret to prayer. It’s understanding what prayer is all about that should give anyone a breakthrough in their prayer life.

Prayer is not about asking asking asking… Prayer is not about pleading pleading pleading… Prayer is not merely worship or thanksgiving… Prayer is not about sitting still to let time pass us by… Prayer is not about punishing ourselves or reciting away some formulated words…

Prayer is essentially how we communicate with God and the beings in the supernatural realm… it’s all about what we do in a relationship. Our thoughts, our words, our actions… how we show respect and care, how we restrain from hurting others… the way we live… that’s prayer!

How do we communicate with our loved ones and strangers? How do we live our lives? To love is the key to having a healthy prayer life. The rest is just an elaboration.

Do we talk endlessly and never listen? Or do we listen and never speak? Do our words translate into actions? If we’re having a relationship with God, are we aware of His Presence? Do we “listen” without truly listening? Do we speak without weighing the effects caused by our words? Do we do to others what we would have them do to us?

Do we love the people and things that our loved ones love? Are we sensitive to how others feel? Do we go beyond to love people we don’t know? Do we care about the environment as part of caring for the world and the people who dwell therein?

Let’s be aware that we’re in the presence of our Creator. Let’s be aware that the people around us are like us… we all need to love and be loved. Prayer is a Relationship we share with everyone. How we live is basically the reflection of our prayer life.

When you’re in a healthy relationship, just ask for anything and it shall be done! “Why?” Did you ask that? Why not? If you know me well, and I ask you for a favour, you’ll do me the favour. If I can’t be bothered about you on the other hand, would you do me any favour? Unlikely, right?

Through this article, I hope for you to unlock the treasure within your heart that is capable of transforming your whole life. May you be prayerful and discover the inner peace and blessings that comes along with prayer… Here’s Giving You Lots of Love =)

You’re a busy entrepreneur running a small retail or service business, and you don’t have time to learn all there is to know about email and internet marketing. You know one thing, though… more and more of your customers are using email, and you know it would be a great, cost effective way of contacting them. If only you could figure it all out.

Email is truly one of the most powerful, flexible ways to communicate with customers that exists. That’s true whether you have an internet presence, a website, or not. Every day, off-line businesses use email to communicate important marketing and sales information to their customers and prospects. If you’re not among them, you’re most likely missing the boat.

The good news is that email doesn’t need to be complicated. Yes, there are regulations relating to SPAM and proper use of email that you will need to know. And yes, there are effective and less effective ways to use email. But you can learn these things, and it doesn’t need to take a great deal of your valuable time.

One key to effective email is to use an auto responder service. An auto responder is a company that will manage both your list of customer’s email addresses and your outgoing email messages for you. They will automate the process, so you can set it and forget it. Well… not quite, but close! They will also make sure you are in compliance with the CAN-SPAM act. They will do all of this at a very reasonable monthly cost.

If you aren’t using an auto responder service to handle your email marketing, you should seriously consider starting right away. You’ll be amazed at how much more effective your email marketing will be.

The internet in general, and email specifically, is a very powerful tool for marketing, sales, and customer communication. There are lots of tools for email marketing your small business. Auto responders are only one of those tools, but one you should definitely be using.

There is no such thing as instant riches on the internet. Beware of online gurus products that promise instant riches. There just simply are no get-rich-quick opportunities on the internet. To succeed and make money online requires hard work, lots of hard work. Most successful online entrepreneurs will tell you it took years to find the right formula to making big money online.
There are some definite steps you can follow that may help ensure your success online. Review the following:

–Research your market
–Purchase software with good search engine optimization capabilities
–Be focused
–Be persistent
–Use a good keyword software tool
–Work hard
–Be passionate about your subjects online

Word tracker is a good tool to use when searching for the keywords your particular market uses. It will find the keywords that are being used by people searching for information on your particular product, niche and/or market.

In order to be successful at just about any kind of business you really need to love and be passionate about whatever it is you are selling or promoting. You need to know as much about your products, niche or market as possible. Research never ends. It is a day to day process that is never ending if you want to be as successful as you most possibly can be, and is part of the hard work.

Remain focused on all that pertains to your online hopes and dreams. Surf the internet daily to find out what competitor’s sites are doing and offering. You can learn a lot just from the other guys online. That is the real beauty of online business, which can be done at your leisure in your pajamas if you so desire unlike researching businesses that exist in your neighborhood, town or city. You are not limited on the internet. Everyone’s business is right at your fingertips, including your own when you have it up and running. Your competitor will be watching you as well.

The most successful online entrepreneurs did not give up until they were successful. Persistence is a key element to online success and making money online. Rome was not built in one day. It might take you two days to get the job done……more like two or more years, however. A lot depends on how much time you wish to invest and are able to invest.

Hard work definitely pays off. When you are working hard it may feel like you are getting no place, but with persistence, soon you will see it is possible to make money online.

So how can you start making money online you might ask? Start out in the right direction and you will succeed. This is truly an exciting time in our business history. Someone without much money can start a business that will make as much, maybe even more, than companies that was started with millions of dollars and teams of talented employees. Sounds unreal, but this is absolute truth at this time in our business history.

An online e-commerce store has no need for a physical retail store, no need to pay rent or employees and no need to buy and store or stock products. The e-commerce store is up 24 hours a day, never closed; always open for business virtually while you sleep, and take vacations. For a very low price you can start a Yahoo Store among other online e-commerce stores. Don’t forget, however, there is hard work in the beginning, but eventually, your store will be making money while you sleep and vacation. An e-commerce store is only way to make money online. You are limited only by your own imagination and willingness to work hard.

In addition, business on the internet not only reaches across town, and a few miles in all directions of your home, but you have a potential market of hundreds of millions of people all over the United States and all around the world.

There are unlimited options for making money and lots of it online.

There is both a natural law and spiritual law at work when it comes to attracting money. In the political arena, both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton were trying to raise money for their Presidential Campaign and the big buzz is who would raise the most money.

According to the news media, Obama is giving Clinton some hot competition because he waited until the last minute to reveal his hand. Could it be that both of these senators know about the law of attracting money or do they just have good friends in high places? You go figure.

Do you want to know what I think? Well, to attract money, you have to surround yourself with people who have money and apparently most of the Presidential candidates know how to access the law of attraction; some more than others.

Senator John Edwards has done well, but he is not quite as impressive as the rest. He may be distracted with all the other things that are happening in his life right now.

What this proves is that the law of attraction is determined by the state of mind and focus. The more you condition your mind to the goals that you have set and focus on accomplishing your goals, the more you will be able to attract the things that you desire.

Obama and Clinton did not have as much distractions as Edwards did, so they were able to concentrate more on their mission. Why did Obama wait until the last minute to disclose his amount? It may be just a political ploy and nothing else, but that shows that he is also in tune with the law of attraction and knows how to use it to his advantage. Watch out Senator Clinton. You do have competition on your hands.

However, competition does not hurt anyone. Competition challenges us to be better and to strive for higher goals. One of the attributes of the law of attraction is to accept the challenges to make changes and I am sure Senator Clinton knows that she has to make changes to her strategies to keep ahead of her political game.

The law of attraction does control our destiny, but we have to allow it to work for us and Senator Obama has tapped into it quite well because he started from scratch in his fund raising efforts while Senator Clinton already had some money to begin her fund raising campaign. I am very impressed, Mr. Obama. This tells me that you are attracting the right kind of people around you who believe in your campaign and have seen your drive and determination and want to help you.

You, too, can use the law of attraction to bring money, success, wealth, confidence, self-esteem, happiness, great marriage, good relationships, motivation and self-improvement. Senator Obama is no different from you. He is just an example to show you that you can start with nothing and use your influence, determination, gifts, talents and personality to bring the things you want into your life in a short period of time.

Many organizations in San Diego also are highly in need of junior and senior level executives. The executive recruiters in San Diego strive to get highly qualified and experienced executives for their client companies.

In order to get a senior individual for the recruitment of the executive post, these executive recruiters need to go to the senior executives already working in other companies only. As the senior individuals feel comfortable working in a company, achieving their own periodical goals, they will rarely try to change their company. At this juncture, it is the duty and effort of an executive recruiter to change their mindset and make them get into the executive of their client company.

In San Diego, there are many executive recruiters who work to get better individuals to their client companies.

In this, there is a possibility that a company can attract the senior and highly talented individuals of its rival company with the promise of higher salary and other benefits. For this they can use the executive recruiters.
