Using A Real Estate Attorney in For Sale By Owner Transactions
September 30, 2009
Even though you are selling your home without an agent, the assistance of a professional is still needed at various steps in the home selling process. The requirement of a real estate attorney depends on the laws in your state. Even if you live in a state where a real estate attorney is not needed, as a for sale by owner seller, it will still be beneficial for you to use one.
An attorney can serve many purposes in the housing transaction. When you hire an attorney that specialized in real estate, that attorney is responsible for seeing that your best interests are met in the housing transaction. An attorney can act as the escrow agent by holding down payments, documentation, and earnest money deposits. Not only that, the attorney can help you decipher and evaluate complicated offers you might receive from a buyer. In the event that the lenders attorney does not handle the closing, your attorney will host and handle the closing. If the lenders attorney does handle the closing, then your real attorney will represent you in the process.
Your primary concern should be to find a real estate attorney that will provide you with assistance you need in the housing transaction. You can use a local or internet directory to find the names of some attorneys in your area. Asking friends or family who have recently sold homes for references is another way that you can find an attorney to assist you. If there are neighbors with for sale signs in their yards, you can casually inquire about the attorney they are using. Hiring an attorney that comes as a reference is often better than cold calling attorneys.
As you look for an attorney to hire, you should choose one that works primarily with real estate transactions. Avoid choosing a criminal or family law attorney that handles real estate transactions on the side. Your interests will not be best served by an attorney that does not spend a significant part of his or her time in real estate transactions. Certainly do not hire an attorney that has never worked in real estate.
Along with experience in real estate transactions, price will be the other factor you use to choose a real estate attorney. The attorney you hire will have two major responsibilities: reading and advising you on documents and representing you at closing. Get a price quote from prospective attorneys on those two tasks. You can get a discount from the attorney by letting him or her know that you will be preparing and filling out some of the documentation. Shop around among several attorneys to get a feel for experience level and price charged.
The most important thing is that you have a real estate professional available to assist you through the transaction. Even if you have successfully sold a for sale by owner home before, it is better to have legal assistance than to attempt to complete the process on your own.

Switching Banks Is Your Bank Giving You The Best Deal
September 30, 2009
If you believe that your bank is costing a more money than it really needs to be, then perhaps it is time to change the habit of a lifetime and switch banks. Although many people remain loyal to their banks for life, there is no need to do this. Your bank is a business and they will treat you as such, and so in turn you should look for the best deals possible. Here are some tips on whether you should switch banks or not.
Why switch banks?
Although many people are happy with their banks, this does not mean they are getting the best deal. Obviously, if you are unhappy with your bank then it is time to look elsewhere. However, if you have been with one bank for a while then perhaps it is time to look at the alternatives. If you find that you current bank is still the best, then great. If not, then you could save yourself some money.
Look for the best deal
Before you switch banks, it is crucial that you shop around. Just because you are switching banks doesn’t mean you should switch to the first good deal you come across. Look at all the alternatives, including online banks and credit unions, before deciding on which bank has the best deal for you.
Contact you current bank
If you are thinking about moving banks, then before you do so you should contact your current bank and see if they can match the terms you can get from another bank. Don’t tell your bank you are thinking of leaving as they might remove certain privileges you have. Instead, try and negotiate a new deal, as it is often easier to get a better deal from your current bank than move to a new bank. However, if your current bank doesn’t want to negotiate then you know it is time to switch banks.
Complete application process
Once you have found the right bank for your needs, you need to complete the application process. Once you have filled in any necessary forms and made sure that all the terms make sense, your new bank can begin the process of transferring your payments and money from your old bank. If you have fairly regular accounts then this should only take a week or so to complete.
Advantages of switching banks
Of course, then main advantage of switching banks is that you can get better terms on the financial products that you already have. You may also be able to get new features from a different bank that will help you to save money or make banking easier for you.
Disadvantages of changing banks
Although there are advantages to switching banks, you must remember that it is won’t always be so easy. If you have complex accounts or are borrowing money from your old bank, then the procedure might become more complicated. Also, if you switch banks regularly it can seem like you are financially unstable. Although switching banks isn’t always the best option, if you are unhappy with your current bank or want to get a better deal then you should look at what other banks have to offer.

The Biggest Lie Ever Told About Wealth
September 30, 2009
Why is it that 90% of the population find it so difficult to become rich? It is because all of us have been told the greatest lie of all, the lie that has been keeping us from becoming rich. Before you can ever become wealthy, you must first discover the truth about wealth and remove the wool that has been pulled over your eyes for way too long.
Let me start off by asking you to do a simple exercise. I would like you to close your eyes and picture a millionaire in your mind. Picture the clothes the person is wearing, the car he drives, how he spends his money, how he spends his day and how he dines. Go ahead and do this NOW before you go onto the next paragraph.
Well, what picture came into your mind?
If you are like most people, you would have pictured a millionaire as someone who wears the latest, branded clothes, who drives the newest luxury car model, who spends lavishly, who dines in fine restaurants and spends on the priciest, choicest dishes and most superb wines.
You may have imagined someone who is relaxing in a cushy leather upholstered armchair in his mansion or yacht, puffing on his Havana cigar. Why is this so?
It’s because of the way we have been brainwashed by television and movies to think this is the way millionaires live and spend their money. It is precisely these beliefs and habits that actually keep us from becoming wealthy!
The truth is that very few self-made millionaires live this way. In fact, the only ones who do live this indolent, self-indulgent lifestyle are the minority of millionaires who either inherited all their wealth or who made their money through sports or entertainment.
And all of them usually have one thing in common. They inevitably end up losing everything within ten years. Their wealth is only temporary. Look at Mike Tyson, Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown and a whole list of other celebrities who made hundreds of millions within their careers. They are either all broke or heavily in debt today.
In the New York Times Best-Selling book ‘The Millionaire Next Door’, Thomas J. Stanley interviewed 300 self-made American millionaires to find out how they think, how they earn their money and how they spend their wealth. What he discovered was a shocking revelation that made his book an instant best-seller.
It was discovered that many people who had high paying jobs, drove the latest luxury cars and wore the latest designer clothes and who appeared to be have millions to spend, were usually broke with a low personal net worth. Most of these professionals and senior executives of multi-national companies were what he termed ‘Under Accumulators of Wealth (UAW)’.
In contrast, those who were actual millionaires (that is those with a net worth of over US$1 million) lived very frugally and well below their means. Eighty-percent of them were born poor or from middle class families.
They wore inexpensive suits and never bought a watch that cost more than S$500. Most of them drove secondhand cars, never bought the latest models of vehicles and they usually invested a minimum of 20% of their income in the stock market or private businesses. He termed these people ‘Prodigious Accumulators of Wealth (PAW)’.
So if creating a million dollar fortune is what you’re aiming for, do what the actual millionaires do and you will accumulate wealth faster than the big spenders ever do.

Cheap Life Insurance for Children
September 29, 2009
Cheap life insurance is practically guaranteed if the insured is a child. Yes, as terrible as it may sound, even a child can get a policy in his or her name. Many people are taken aback by the thought of purchasing life insurance for their children or their grandchildren.
After all, life insurance benefits are not paid out until a person dies, and no one likes to consider the very real truth that children can die too. Death is not something that is reserved for the elderly. Life insurance for a child is cheap, and if you are purchasing it for yourself, you should expect that your insurance agent will at least mention this opportunity.
No one likes to think about it
Unfortunately, children are not immune to death. It can happen to any child, at any time. It can happen in an automobile accident or while walking to the bus. It can happen tragically, at the hands of another. It can happen as a result of a previously undetected condition such as leukemia.
While your life insurance agent won’t dwell on the ways your child might die, the agent will certainly remind you that such an occurrence will result in unexpected funeral and burial expenses. Your agent will continue by reminding you that these costs will be considerable, and possibly even more so because the occasion is for a child.
Expect the agent to proceed with extreme caution because parents just don’t like to think about the possibility that their children might die before they reach adulthood. The agent will subtly mention how cheap life insurance is for a child and how this insurance can be easily bundled in with your other policies.
Your agent may offer other reasons why you should consider purchasing cheap life insurance for your children. One high-pressure method is to suggest that purchasing a policy right now is an opportunity that may not happen again or that won’t be available again for a number of years. This sometimes pressures parents into purchasing before the agent walks out their door. Don’t allow this to happen because it’s just not true.
Here’s something to consider
There is one good reason why it makes sense to purchase cheap life insurance for your child now. Doing so can protect your child in the event he or she develops an illness later on in life which an insurance company might consider uninsurable or that may be insurable but will be so at a high price.
While such a situation is impossible to predict, purchasing cheap life insurance for your child now guarantees that your child will have the protection that life insurance offers. When your child reaches adulthood, he or she should be able to renew a policy at the rates given originally.
If you decide it makes sense to purchase cheap life insurance for your child, be sure you understand the rights the insurance company guarantees your child when he or she turns 18 years of age.

A Closer Look At Day Trading
September 29, 2009
Day trading is a controversial word in the world of stock trading. Many see it as a way to make a living off of the fast paced stock market. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) warns against the practice and cautions against getting involved in the practice.
Just what is day trading and why does it cause many to be cautious? Day trading is the practice of rapidly buying and selling stock throughout the day in the hopes to profit from the marginal changes in the market in that specific day. Ideally, this practice allows investors to profit from the fractional increases in the market.
Day traders look at a certain set of criteria when determining whether a stock is suitable for day trading. First, the stock must have a high liquidity. This means that the stock in question has a large numbers of buyers and sellers. The liquidity allows day traders to quickly acquire and then sell stock. Liquidity is based on the volume of transactions on the market, the number of outstanding shares, the total number of shareholders and the number of market makers. Most stocks on the NYSE and NASDAQ have a high degree of liquidity.
A day trader also looks at volume individually, in addition to using it as criteria for liquidity. To be eligible for day trading, a stock should trade at least 500,000 shares a day. Stocks with 500,000 trades a day or more will allow the day trader to acquire or sell a large amount of stock without greatly affecting the price of the stock. Volatility is another factor in evaluating a stock for day trading. The term refers to the actual or expected price movement of the stock. This movement is up or down over a period of time. Day traders look at the volatility of stocks over an individual day. Stocks that change price frequently over one trading day are ideal candidates for day trading. A fluctuation of at least $2.00 per day is recommended.
Finally, a day trader evaluates the price transparency of stock. This term refers to the ability to gather information on the order flow of a stock. Also called market depth, price transparency helps the day trader determine just how much money there is to be made on a certain stock. The Nasdaq II quote system offers information on all bids. Day traders who arrange to access the NASDAQ level II quote screens can assess the strength or weakness of a stock and determine its movement in price.
While day trading is completely legal and entirely ethical, it is highly risky. Day traders usually buy on borrowed money with the hope that they will obtain higher profits through their acquisitions and sales. People who are deemed “pattern day traders” by the NASDAQ and NYSE must have at least $25,000 in their accounts and can only trade in margin accounts. Margin accounts are brokerage accounts in which the broker lends the investor cash to purchase securities. If the value of the stock drops significantly, the investor is required to deposit more cash to cover the margin or sell the stock.
The SEC warns against day trading and has taken many steps to inform people of the associated risks.
The first few months a vast majority of day traders suffer massive financial losses and only a few make it through to become profit-making day traders. For this reason, day traders should only invest money that they can afford to lose. They should never use money for necessities such as living expenses, retirement accounts or second mortgages.
Keep in mind that day traders do not own stocks for longer than a few minutes at most. Stocks are never kept overnight because of extreme risk of prices changing to the detriment of the trader. Day traders do not invest, rather, they speculate on the movement in price of a stock throughout the day.
There are many websites whose sole purpose is to profit off those who wish to become day traders. These websites promise quick returns and offer “hot tips” to their members for a fee. The sources are most often paid to make these recommendations and should be avoided.

5 Ways to Find the Best Stock Picks
September 28, 2009
There is no doubt that penny stocks are a risky and thinly traded breed of stocks issued by relatively tiny companies. Also, the SEC does not require penny stocks to follow their reporting rules. This combined with unclear or unverifiable financials can make this stock seem like something to avoid altogether. Penny stocks can be dangerous for investors of all experience levels but especially for amateurs just getting their feet wet. Here are five tips to help find the best penny stock picks.
1. Profit
First off is the company you are interested in investing in experiencing any sizeable profits. Better yet is their profit to debt ration favorable. Youd be hard pressed to find one of these little companies without debt but that doesnt mean you cant be picky. In this case the least amount of debt with the most profit will be a better investment. Another thing to watch is how progressive the debt payoffs have been. This would be a sign of good or bad financial management.
2. Industry Trends
This is one of those methods that almost all people use anyway. If there is a high demand for oil then people instinctively want to go buy oil stocks. The only problem with this kind of trend analysis is it really isnt forward looking analysis. This is just waiting and seeing which doesnt get you in on the ground floor of and investment before the public takes notice. Investing ahead of an industry trend is far better. So look for stocks in industries that are the edge of more demand.
3. Personal Interest
Theres a saying that you do well at things you enjoy to do. This makes logical sense and it works with stocks as well. If you invest in something that actually interests you then you will naturally be more studious and make more of an effort to choose the best stocks. It can be very boring researching stocks that dont interest you and you are likely not to be as thorough as you should be.
4. Tenure
How long has the company been in business? This is not to say that investing in newer companies is a bad idea but its more likely to be safer investing in a more established company with some kind of track record.
5. Bad Behavior
Last tip is an obvious one. Stay away from companies whose operations or transactions have been questionable. Even if the bad press is not completely true it will be difficult for a company to recover in the short and maybe even long term.

0percent APR Credit Cards Tips and Tricks
September 28, 2009
Credit cards can be considered to be one of the many basic necessities of the modern world. Credit cards are available nowadays in abundance. One type of credit card specifically is the so-called 0% APR credit card. 0% APR credit cards were introduced in the late 1980’s and to this day has still proven to be one of the most sought-after credit card types available anywhere. As with all credit card types, there are a certain tips and tricks surrounding 0% APR credit cards that all potential card applicants should be made aware of.
With the help of a 0% APR credit card, it means that you need not only pay the outstanding balance; and what more you could even charge up to the limits without having to sustain any monthly interest charges. However, sometimes, one tends to think just how these credit card companies can afford to provide 0% APR credit cards, and make a profit out of it?
Although 0% APR credit cards may not comprise any monthly charges, it is sure to come with annual fees which you are obliged to pay for the privileges of a 0% APR credit card. These annual fees usually run from $15 to $20 or sometimes, even higher. Having a 0% APR credit card doesn’t mean that you can pay your dues whenever and whichever way you intend to. It IS necessary to make your payments on time, or else, you will have to pay for high overdue fees. For each late payment, the 0% APR credit card holder has to pay fees that may range from $20 to $40. With habitual late payments, these meager amounts may accumulate to a hefty total!
It should be remembered that 0% APR credit cards are usually offered for only a stipulated period of time. This credit card interest may hold good for only a fixed period of time, usually ranging from 3 up to 15 months. On the completion of this period, a higher rate of interest may come in vogue, usually 12% or higher. You could easily transfer any existing credit card balances to a new 0% APR credit card to get 0% interest on the transferred balance. In this way, the credit card holder has to pay less interest for a stipulated period of time, and thus get a chance to clear outstanding balances as quickly as possible.
When applying for a 0% APR credit card, it is always better to read the terms and agreements of the credit card. Not to overstate an obvious question, but why should one do so? Simply because many credit cards may come with a default rate wherein late payments not only incur a late payment fee, but it would also include a default rate that will be added to the annual percentage rate. This in turn doubles the figures on the existing balances and on the new purchases made on the card moving forward. Ouch!
One very important point to take into account when applying for a 0% APR credit card is to read all paragraphs of the agreement, otherwise known as the fine print. This is because though it is illegal for a credit card company to hide their fees and charges, it is nonetheless legal for them to mention these points in small print! The 0% APR credit card companies thus usually announce in large and bold print about their 0% APR but hide the facts that this is only for a limited period of time and any extra fees which might be included are done so in very fine print.
Another trick that is up the sleeve of 0% APR credit card companies is to install sky-high APR’s right after the amount of 0% APR balance transfers are paid down. In other words, the money you first pay to the credit card company is applied to the transfer, and any other purchases you make will be charged a high APR. Sometimes, credit card companies may also go to the extent of sending you a different card than the 0% APR credit card you had initially applied for. In this way, you are not allowed the 0% APR but a different card offer with different terms and conditions. The card issuers typically rationalize this behavior based on the card issuer determining that you do not meet the qualifications for a 0% APR credit card. Qualifications for a 0% APR credit card is usually found in the small print of the agreement, and is usually overseen by applicants!
It can thus be seen that though 0% APR credit cards do seem to be rather inviting, there are some loopholes and tricks to their use. As always, it is highly recommended to read the terms and conditions on the card application agreement for the 0% APR credit card, or any type of credit card application, thoroughly in order to avoid any future problems, headaches or financial surprises.

How to Find the Best Commercial Real Estate
September 27, 2009
For most people, jumping into the commercial real estate market is done with sights set on millionaire land owners who have made their fortune buying, renovating and selling properties over and over and over. One of the keys to this success is finding the right commercial real estate properties to turn over. Do you go with a high-priced property and just hang onto it for a few years, letting it gain in value and then sell it or do you take a more out of the way property, fix it up and make it valuable then sell it? These are all options available out there for a potential buyer, but which one is right for you?
The best deals out there will give the biggest return on your investment. It is not unrealistic to look for deals that could give you upwards of two to four times the profit of what you invested. The amount of paperwork and red tape you have to go through is essentially the same weather it is a big deal or a small one, so try to maximize each deal and make it as profitable as possible.
The methods you use to find the best deals are important. You can rely on your own two eyes and simply go scout possible real estate deals that could turn a huge profit or you could enlist the help of a professional. There are real estate brokers that specialize in commercial properties but since they are hired by the people looking to sell, you might not get a straight answer on a particular property since all they want to do is sell it. The best thing to do if you are going to seek the advice of a commercial broker is to make a firm list of qualities you are looking for and dont deviate from them. The broker may try to sell you something you are not interested in so be careful. One advantage in using a broker is getting listings that have not officially gone on the market yet. This can help you get a head start in placing a big for a unit since no one else will know about it yet. Another good tip is to utilize the Internet. There are many sites out there dealing with property values and commercial sites that are for sale and many sites have excellent search criteria that can help you find what you are looking for quickly and easily in a non-confrontational environment.
One final place that is a great source of commercial as well as residential properties is auction houses. You may have to register with these houses and pay a small fee, but it is a sound investment since the auction house will be offering properties as a significantly smaller cost to you than if you were to buy it normally. In addition, these auction houses tend to send out notifications of properties that are about to go on the trading block. This can give you the time you need to research the deal, see if it falls within your criteria and then you can decide if you are going to bid on it or not.
Overall, there are many different options out there available for those looking to find sound commercial properties to invest in. If you do the proper research, you can find the one that is right for you.

What To Do When Your Credit Card Is Lost Or Stolen
September 27, 2009
Unfortunately, wallets and purses do get stolen or lost on a regular basis. Your biggest concern is usually the fact that your credit cards are missing. If this happens to you, do you have a plan of action? Well, you should. It really isn’t as daunting to come up with a credit card action plan as it seems like it should be. All reputable credit card companies have a set policy that helps to protect you against loss or theft. All you need to know is how to get this policy to work for you.
Help! My Credit Card Was Stolen!
Never fear, help is here! The first thing you need to do is report the stolen card to the company as soon as possible. Most companies have a toll-free number or an online service that deals solely with this problem.
Fortunately for you, federal law dictates that you are only liable for the first $50.00 of any fraudulent charges made on a charge card. Still, you are required to report the lost or stolen card even though you’re not going to take a huge hit. Here’s a little extra incentive to make the call fast: If you report the loss or theft before any unauthorized use, you don’t even pay the $50.00.
Many card issuers are waiving the $50 exposure, so check the details on your credit card offer.
After the card is gone, make sure you pay attention to every charge on the bill. Whatever shows up that isn’t yours, notify the card company in writing immediately. Make sure to include in the letter the date in which you notified the company that your card was lost or stolen and send it to the billing errors address. Do not send the letter with your payment. It will get lost in the shuffle.
If your card was a debit card, things may work a bit different. The amount of liability you are responsible for depends directly on how quickly you report it lost or stolen. If it is done before it has been used, again you are not responsible for any fraudulent charges. If you wait, even as little as two business days, you could be held liable for up to $500.00 of any fraudulent charges found on the card.
Once your card is gone and you have reported it, review your bills. Make your bank aware of any questionable deductions from your account that occurred during the time your card was lost or stolen. A phone call is great, but follow it up with a certified letter and include the day you reported your card stolen or lost. This should absolve you of any liability.
The best way to avoid stolen or lost cards is to keep track of them. Know where they are at all times and keep your pin number a secret. Also, don’t use a pin number that is easy to figure out such as your birth date or phone number. Make it a number that only makes sense to you and keep it that way.

Surging Inflation Impacts Upon Consumer Finances
September 26, 2009
Earlier this week the publication of a new study suggested that the British public is experiencing much greater financial pressure than the government figures indicate.
According to statistics released by the Motley Fool, some nine out of ten consumers believe that the cost of living is rising by 7.3 per cent - about three times higher than the official number of 2.5 per cent. Overall, two out of three believe their personal inflation lies between four and nine per cent, with one in five people claiming is stands between ten and 15 per cent.
Meanwhile, those in Scotland suggested that inflation currently stands at 6.3 per cent - a fall from the 7.5 per cent noted in January. On the other hand, Northern Ireland consumers could be facing a particular increase in difficulties with their day-to-day finances as they claim to face an inflation rate of 8.1 per cent - the highest figure noted in the country and up by 0.4 percentage points from six months ago.
David Kuo, head of personal finance for the firm, said: “Older people, especially those who rely on retirement income, are some of the worst affected. Furthermore, people relying on the basic state pension, which will only rise in line with government inflation figures, may feel the pinch even more. Inflation is sometimes called the hidden risk because it quietly chips away at the buying power of the pound in our pockets. But it’s hard to disguise a chip when it becomes a chunk.”
Consequently he suggested that inflation is not “whittling away” consumers’ income as official figures suggest but rather is leading towards a significant rise in debt problems. “For one in five people, the buying power of the pound in their pockets is being eroded at over twice this rate,” Mr Kuo claimed.
Consumers aged 58 and over claimed inflation rates currently stand at 7.1 per cent, which could see these people particularly facing debt problems. Meanwhile, those between 42 and 49-years-old claimed the highest rises in living costs at 7.6 per cent. However, although young people were said to have been the least affected, they claimed living costs had risen to 6.9 per cent a rise of a full percentage point since January.
But, in a challenge to the Motley Fool figures, research from Birmingham Midshires’ Life 2 campaign has indicated that those over the age of 55 see themselves are being financially comfortable. Some 19 per cent of those in the group claim they can afford the social life they want, with one in ten reported to be “totally satisfied” they can afford to indulge themselves.
However, only one in 50 of 18 to 24-year-olds were said to hold this level of satisfaction. The study from the financial services firm also indicated that just over half (55 per cent) of consumers aged above 55 with both a state and personal pension account say that they are confident that they can afford day-to-day expenses in later life, the largest proportion recorded among any working group. Meanwhile, this figure was said to have fallen to 15 per cent for Britons with just a state pension.
Jason Robinson, director of savings operations for Birmingham Midshires said: “The over - 55s are facing enormous change in their lives and many may be apprehensive about their retirement.”The director added: “It’s great news that many people can look forward to financial and social freedom in later life - but, of course, the more money they have coming in from pensions and savings the more enjoyable retirement will be.”
However, with inflation rates higher than officials figures and the government announcing yesterday that interest rates are rise to 5.75 per cent consumers of all ages could find their day-to-day finances squeezed.
