Private Money Lenders - Finding More Than You Need

by Tom Dunn

Armed with the basic knowledge you have of private money lender loans, I’m going to provide you with all of the steps you need to develop your very own private money lender network, filled with lenders anxious to line your pockets with cash for yet another residential property deal.

Previously, I told you the importance of writing three things: a business plan, a list of prospects (everyone you know), and a pitch letter. With those three things completed, you have only one more all-important step before you start contacting people. You need to write out an elevator speech.

What’s an elevator speech, you ask? It’s exactly what it sounds like! Imagine you get on an elevator with a complete stranger and strike up a conversation. Immediately, he asks what you do. The elevator speech is your response, which should sound unrehearsed, but actually be highly planned and polished.

by Christina Goldman

In March of this year, the price of gold per ounce hit an all-time high of $1,030.80.

On August 15th, gold hit a nine-month low of $773.

That’s a correction of 25%!

Now, that’s just downright scary! I know there’s a lot of gold investors out there that are probably wondering if the gold bull market is over. At this point, you’re probably fed up and are thinking seriously of dumping whatever hard assets you have.

I’m going to provide you with a little bit of historical gold trivia that I hope will reassure you.

So, take a deep breath. Relax. And keep reading.

It may be comforting to know that the last great gold bull market of the 1970’s was also interrupted by similar corrections.

As a home business owner, you now have the freedom to decide how and in what way you will create wealth for your family and doing something you are passionate about a believe in.

Perhaps one of the biggest downfalls of those who attempt unsuccessfully to work from home is lack of self motivation. If you desire to work from home, especially if this scenario means you will be acting as your own boss, it is important to know that you have the discipline required to achieve your goals for a work from home business.

Second Home Insurance: How to choose the best cover

by David Ball

Many people buying a holiday home or second home in the UK or in Europe are offered holiday home insurance cover by an insurer, broker, their foreign agent or notary. Of course it is too easy not to say “No”, but the cover offered may not be suitable due to the special insurance requirements needed for a holiday home or second home.

With the risks of owning a second home abroad or in the UK being that much greater than your main home or residence, there is a real call for a second home insurance policy that is written in easy to understand English, that pays specific attention to the particular requirements for holiday homes, and that also has wide coverage.
