pg. 360 1-6

1. A direct investment in real estate is one that you hold the deed for and are a direct owner or partner on that deed so a house you bought with your own money in your name would be a direct investment. An indirect investment in real estate is one that someone else (a trustee) owns on paper or the deed in other words but you have an investment in that you will have a gain/loss in.
2. Your personnel assets are safe from forclosures if there is a loan out on the property.
3. Direct investments can lose alot even your personnel belongings. Indirect investments might not go as planned if the person you were counting on to make the mortgage payment doesnt come thhrough or decideds to pull out.
4. Both combine investors money to increase the portfolios perchasing power. Also they provide diversification without so much research during personnal time.
5. I would offer them a stress free situation with opertunities. Then I would convence them that without an investment and there money sitting in the bank that they were atually loseing purchasing power due to inflation.
6. I would suggest a REIT because it will diversify her investment in one swing. This is because REIT's hold properties in all field. one could contain Commercial, Rental, and residential real estate . This is inportant because of cash income. A rental will give some money every month where as a residential home will usually be sold and give one huge lump of cash all at one.

Malls Closed!?

Is it really suprising that malls are going under? Not to me. Its just another reflextion of our over all situation. But the companies behind this particular fall are on the wrong footing. Just like everyone else suffering from this economic downfall the blame for the problem and the supply of the solution is being put on another person or company. Saying "we cant refinance because the financial sactor isnt loaning" isnt the solution. This attitude is primarily why we are in this messed up position in the first place. Everyone gets the idea that they deserve a break and that the rest of the world owes them something. This is untrue to the very nature of our being. The strong survive and the weak will parish. As soon as you fall into the cycle of saying "well this person isnt coming through on there part of the deal so im not going to do mine. We all need to take a step back and man up. If one person uses another as an excuse for why there bussiness is failing all we have is one failing bussiness and another on its way. So get out there and do your job people and dont blame everyone else for the economy because you, me, and them are the economy and everything we do effects the whole thing. Me myself and I is the only person that you ever have 100% control over so set an example at your work and in your home that will give people around you the inspiration to do the same because no amount of bitching about the financial sector or all the lost realestate investments will ever change a thing because you are the force which drives it and if your attitude is poor that is what you will be.

Earn!

Keeping the change was about a sweet non profit organization that focuses on hleping poeple save money. they do this by matching a doller for every dollar you save along with government money for an additional dollar. Earn is the name of the program. it was founded in the last economic down turn.
I think its a great idea. For low income families this could be the answer to many questions. Often when saving a little money its not enuff when you really need it and all youve really done is cut yourself short before you had to spend the money anyways. With more money than just your own it really stands to help out when you need some cash.
