They talk about falling house prices which will only bring gloom and doom for homeowners and real estate investors a like. I can understand where they are coming from; having little or no knowledge about investing and that is OK, because it just creates more opportunity for you and I. Real estate is cyclical and always has been. There was a large national article published that stated Las Vegas real estate had completely capped out and there was no place for it to go but down. Does that sound familiar? If so, you may want to think again. That article was published nearly half a century ago! Has real estate gone up in value in Las Vegas in the last 50 years? You bet, and not just a little! Now does that mean real estate is going to keep going up like it has the last few years? I wouldn’t plan on it, particularly in the short term, however that’s what makes this media coverage so invaluable. *It creates fear that scares off a lot of people from investing (creating more opportunity). *It eliminates aggressive scam investments (as we saw rampant with builders in Florida and Las Vegas the last few years). *It makes people question the value of their properties (creating more flexible sellers). Here is something to consider: do you know any ultra successful real estate investor that is afraid of flat or declining house prices? Quite to the contrary, knowledgeable investors understand when markets are flat or down it just weeds out beginning investors, makes people panic and means more opportunity. What’s important to understand is just as real estate is cyclical, so are the amount of buyers and sellers in a given market. When markets are up, you’ll have to spend more time finding motivated sellers, but you have the benefit of appreciation on your side. When markets are down, you can’t depend on appreciation, but you’ll have a lot more motivated sellers to work with. In fact, when markets are down, you usually have to let “good” deals go, so you can take advantage of the “best” deals! We’re not just buying properties and hoping that they will appreciate or go up in value. That’s not investing, that’s speculating! Your completely dependent on future growth that is entirely out of your control. That’s a conventional mindset and will not work in flat or declining real estate markets especially in the short term. Like any business, you need to make well calculated decisions. In real estate, that includes making creative, risk free offers and setting up your exits appropriately for the specific circumstances. There are better and more creative real estate investing strategies for down and soft markets like assignments, lease options(as a seller or a “sandwich”), foreclosures, short sales, wholesaling and “subject to” arrangements. But even when doing rehabs or fixer uppers (which are not typically recommended in down markets) there are still good ways to make a good profit with the right system and proper planning. For example, let’s say you are in a market depreciating at 10% a year, you would need to factor in the time to make the rehab repairs plus the time to sell (with a cushion), then subtract market depreciation during that time. So if an area was depreciating at 10% a year and you had a property that would take 2-3 months to fix up and 2-3 months to sell, you would want to subtract an additional 5-6% from the retails sales price when making your offer to a seller. There’s really no issue with doing rehabs of fixer uppers in down markets, you just need to factor in depreciation accordingly. This is why faster, lower risk, more creative real estate investing strategies are better to use during market declines. The point is market conditions will not determine your success; it’s how you approach your market and do what is appropriate for the current trends. When you structure risk free deals and make calculated decisions, the market conditions will never be a determining factor of whether you make money or not!

Strategies for making extra money immediately, in the short, medium and long term

My formula:

2 Hands Off Fast Results Money Making Projects + Domestic Money Saving + Turning Talent into Cash + Equipment Share = Financial Freedom.

 Let me quickly explain my rational behind each of my master strategy and how you can immediately start applying them to ease your financial crisis situation:

Hands Off Fast Results Money Making Project 

Joining an Affiliate programme.   There are just as many thousands of good affiliate programmes as there are of downright bad and dodgy ones and it takes a little skill to differentiate the bad from the good.   This might seem daunting at first when you are trying to find a good one to join but it should not deter you because with a little due diligence on your part you should be able to choose 2 good to excellent ones to start you off and earn you good money. 

Use my selection criteria below for your selection and if you do not have satisfactory answers from a company to your criteria questions, walk away and look for another company.  But if you really are struggling to find your first two or are not confident enough, email me and I will be happy to walk you through my selection process till you gain enough confidence to go by yourself, on the other hand you can get yourself started with one excellent one I use myself:  http://www.moreinfo247.com/10167478/FREE

 -     Is it a reputable company with several years’ presence on the net?

-          Is it a marketing company selling multi products and services?

-          Are the products fast selling and medium priced range?

-          Is the commission 45% and above?

-          Does it have re-occurring billing products and services?

-          Is the company a global one with a range of product/services that appeal to everyone    with no language and culture barriers?

-          Does it sell downloadable materials and niche products?

-          Is the payment structure flexible, giving you many options to choose from?

-          Does it have facilities for paying its affiliates via the normal ATM Cash Machines worldwide?

-          Do you get a guaranteed share in the global sales on monthly basis?

-          Does it pay fortnightly or monthly?

-          Does it have good/excellent support for its affiliate members?

-          Does it have facilities for you to track your progress and commission stats online 24/7?

 Once you have found the two affiliate programmes that you want to make you money, join there and then, do not procrastinate – procrastination is your worst enemy – Till you make a decision to start generating extra income and act upon that decision immediately your financial situation is not going to change.

The next step is to try and set your sights on the high earning bracket of the affiliate programme which will sometimes pay you double the commission rate and also pay you guaranteed residual income month after month without any effort from you as well as giving you a cut of the global money pot month after month.   There are so many ways to do this which I will go into details in an email to you.  Are you committed and serious about making money?

Domestic Money Saving

Yes, I know this might seem obvious.  The normal things you do when times are hard, but you will be amazed if I tell you of so many other simple things you can do to improve the situation and save your self from stress too.  This is what I did when times were hard – I did bulk shopping, and instead of cooking daily and buying lunch at work, I did bulk cooking of about three different nutritious and filling meals – stews, curries, soups, boiled rice to last a week or two, apportion them into two serving portions and freeze them.  Whatever I got out to eat in the evening I took the other remaining portion to work for lunch and alternated between the various meals to avoid boredom.

By doing this I did not only save on time for cooking everyday, but saved on gas, electricity, water that I would have been using on daily basis and I soon began to see the difference it was making to my utility and grocery bills. – Money that I quickly put to use to reduce my credit card and overdraft debt very quickly.

Turning Talent into Cash

What are you good at?  Drama, Painting Drawing, Photography, Singing? Cooking, Entertaining Children? Sewing and Mending? And what are your hobbies?   Can you turn your hands to any of these to generate extra cash once a week or maybe one day during the week-ends or even your spare times in the evening?   Mine was teaching very small groups of children aged 5 to 10 social skills in my own home once a week on Saturday mornings and afternoons – in all 2 hours and 30 minutes.  So what will yours be?

Equipment Share

Have you got stuff like sewing machines, spare chairs and tables, ladders, power jet cleaners etc sitting in your home that get used once in a while?  You are under utilising these things.   Get them working for you by hiring them out to local people on daily, week-end or weekly basis at competitive rates and always remembering to take a reasonable amount of deposit to guard against damage or non return.  Mine was hiring out my sewing machine on weekly basis in my local area – there was a huge market for it.

Wishing you success
