Learning to maximize your money

    I think sometimes people have been disappointed in there return on investments as of the last couple years. I know many people have lost money in the stock market, saving accounts just aren’t doing much at  this time lets face it 2% on your money and inflation on our economic prices that 2% becomes a loss real quick. People have 401k’s that do not perform at all for them or they end up losing money. I guess unless you have a great stock expert that goes in and out and moves your money regularly then stocks can be an avenue for yourself to play.
    My question today is who has control over your money, what makes them qualified to handle your money, and are you gaining a fair advantage on interest earned on your investment money. As an investor to me any place where my money sits earning 2% or losing money I get real weary of what’s going on. Second of all I believe that money needs to be earning at least 10% interest on your money to be a assets to your future.
    The more and more I live the stronger I get convicted that many people need to find another avenue to place there money. I am also a person that walks strongly in the belief that if you are dissatisfied in your money then its time to overlook where that money is at and how exactly you can make a change to make more money on the dollars you have available to you.
    Do you have IRA’s, mutual funds, stocks, savings accounts, 401k’s or bonds that are not doing anything for your future. Meaning losing money or not pulling in more than 10% annual interest on your dollar then it’s time to change that. Personally as an owner of an investments company that deals strictly with buying and selling real estate I can not imagine a better door opened to the general public that can maximize your profit. Let me give you some cold hard facts that make me feel this way. One being working with an investment company such as Strength Management LLC your security lies in real estate. I’m sure this draws concern to many people when they hear real estate I’m not sure why though. Investing in markets that are down mean a lot of property available for a great price which gives the investors an advantage to buying and not buying at a price that is going to fall in the future. We are working at the bottom of the market right now and with as many investors that I know buying I don’t see any room for the market to fall because we want every deal we can get our hands on at this price. Stocks have no security real estate does. Advantage one. If a stock fails you then you lose your money or stay in and hope it comes back. If the real estate company fails you there is a property that you have bought at a low price and can get out and still make money. You say how can I still make money if the company lets me down? Well let’s look at what a successful investor is aiming to do. They buy low to fix and make a profit if there is no room for a profit then the investor has no mind for investing. This gives you comfort with working with the investment company you choose that they buy right and are moving property still in this market.
    Security to me is the greatest comfort. If I can actually see the investment (a house) rather than a imaginary piece of paper that is worth money I’m in. That gives me comfort. I am just going over a few concepts of what it means to work with an investments company that deals with real estate. I think this is an avenue that many people need to look at with an opened mind. Not because I do it. It’s because I do it for the reason this is where the opportunity is for the future. Watch and see jump in and get some information from us at http://www.macombinvestments.net we could be the company that you are looking for to secure your finances again check out the private lending tab watch some videos, get the documents of what lending is check out what we do by seeking through the rest of our page.

Look for the areas of your money that don’t meet your needs and get the solution before it washes a way and you wish you have done something different when it’s no longer there for you to make that choice any more.

God Bless

    Foreclosures in the Macomb County real estate market are becoming abundant with the layoffs of the auto industry. It seems that there are so many out there for an opportunity for people to buy cash and not have a mortgage or a chance to make some money. There are many things for an investor to look for when seeking a deal not only in this market but to be successful in there finances.

    The first thing that I noticed is don’t fall in love with the property for looks, look at the numbers and make sure it works in the books. You could have a house that is less desirable but makes your pockets look better than paying to much and turning everything into a mess in your bills for that property. A house is a business. Of course you want to get the house up to code and get it nice for your tenants that’s a given. There are so many properties that can make good rentals you need to first seek out the property, do your math, and then make the decision if it will work for you.

    I lost money buying to high in a market that was just ready to fall in 2007. I bought at the wrong time and it hurt my pockets for doing so. You never want to put your self into that position. Since then I have bought 17 properties and work in the business for a living. Taking a look at deals and being able to analyze the deals is so important and to know your market. My first deal I hade no knowledge of the market I was excited to keep moving forward and get something done. I take the blame. I take the blame because first I went to a market not understanding. I needed to seek for people who were doing high number in the market already. I made not good choices when it came down to it. I can say today as I am moving forward to the vision the company has planned that I have people that I get advise from that are people who are seasoned investors. They understand the market see the opportunity go for it and come out on top. Just like my self.

    If you know the market that you are working in then you can realize that there is money to be made. For landlords and property flippers I suggest you know the market and do your deals with people that have experience in the business. I know that I made the mistake also working with somebody that didn’t understand the market and I’m sure his investor knowledge wasn’t that of a successful one either. I noticed when you are working with like minded individuals and find the ones that are moving to be successful then you will get the right knowledge because there understanding of business is were they want to please you because they want you to keep coming back which in the investor game you are always looking to help people get more and more deals. If the first deals goes wrong then there is no reoccurring business on the other end. Almost like residual income in a sense.

    If you are in Macomb County real estate market or another market my suggestion if you are a first time investor or looking to get further in the market find some people who are actually buying real estate not just one or two properties a year because they don’t understand all the strategies that investor can use. Not because they are stupid they just haven’t done them yet. I suggest find some good wholesaler, brokers, and realtors which are doing good business. This is an awesome market to get involved in and can be a time to get your finances secured with a nice return on investment (ROI). Don’t buy to please the eye buy the house keeping in mind that the home becomes a business and successful business owners have to keep the budget correct to keep the business gaining a profit. Make sure the number line up. The purchase price is sound, the fix up cost is within budget, and the taxes aren’t off the wall after they aren’t homestead any more . If you are looking for deals go to http://www.macombcountypropertylistings.me/  you will also get more information on investing as well all for free!!! The free being the information not the property. Let blessing’s be your portion!!!!!

What an opportunity for the Macomb County Real Estate market to take a leap at the turn of this year. The $8,000 tax credit which was called to end in November for first time homebuyers has been extended to April. This is really good for our market. It will allow more sales to happen and that can stabilize the market value for properties in our area.

Also on top of the $8,000 tax credit homebuyers that have owned there home for 5 years or more are able to receive $6,500 as a credit this will push more home sales in the market we have today and can help us a lot. Also for realtors and investors it’s going to be a good season to pick up some client’s and make some money as well. The sales agreements need to be signed by the end of April in order to get the tax credit.

It’s always good to hear some news that goes in your favor. So I thought I would share the exciting news as I wrote this weekly blog. I know it gives an advantage to rehabbers in the areas that are buying and selling homes as well because this can increase the market to hit appraisals easier as well as find more buyers.

There are plans in the works as well for business’s to receive extra tax advantages as well. Stay tuned for more information on that. Though we have a lot of work that needs to be done I figure this is a start. First time homebuyers go find your self a deal and capitalize on this down market. Some people aren’t going to like the market some people will take advantage of it. I say let’s take advantage of the opportunity and buy now! I would say now is the best time for new home buyers to buy in the Macomb County real estate market than ever.
