How To Be A Confident Kisser

http://lukeford.net/ I didn't have my first French kiss until I was 16, but when I met this 14 yo girl, she opened up a whole new world to me. I've never been kissed better than I was that Saturday night at Dr. Zane Kime's home.

Investment Property Vs Inflation

Reuters says:

LONDON (Reuters) - Real estate has a justified reputation for protecting the investor from inflation -- but only in the long-term and only if it is the right kind of inflation.

Based on the relatively transparent British market, commercial property has generated an inflation-adjusted return of more than 5 percent a year since 1970, according to data from Investment Property Databank (IPD).

But much like gold -- another classic inflation hedge -- real estate's relationship with inflation can fluctuate, not least if economic activity slows and corporate tenants and rental growth come under pressure.

"Because property returns are not linked to inflation in the short-term there is no rush to move back into property just because we have inflation," said Rupert Clarke, chief executive of Hermes Real Estate, which helps to manage the retirement savings of Britain's telecommunication and postal workers.

"Stagflation" is a term coined in the UK in the 1960s to describe a combination of higher prices and economic stagnation -- namely slower growth and rising unemployment. TWIN CHALLENGE

The ramifications for property are complex.

"When we've had inflation-only in the economy, real estate has provided an inflation hedge," she said.

The question is, which kind of inflation?

Commercial property investments are better placed to generate consistent above-inflation returns when price pressures are a symptom of a healthy economy and result from higher spending and income.

LEASES

In the long-term, the rent commercial property would be expected to attract on the open market at any given time -- the Estimated Rental Value -- is highly correlated with inflation.

"All the analyses show that over the long-term property is a good inflation hedge," Hermes's Clarke said.

Top 5 Ways to Get Out of Real Estate Investments

Beth Anderson writes:

When entering into a real estate investment, investors should have multiple exit strategies for a variety of circumstances. But sometimes investors run into unanticipated circumstances, or fail to plan altogether. Here are some tips for leaving a real estate investment or avoiding foreclosure with minimal damage when planned exit strategies have fallen through.

The first and most obvious exit strategy investors should consider is selling the property outright. Investors should calculate the price at which they have to sell the property for in order to break even, including paying off all outstanding liens, commissions and other closing costs.

Once that necessary price is set, investors should look at the selling prices of comparable properties on the market. If the market supports the investor’s price, this exit strategy may work. Ideally investors should aim for being the lowest priced comparable property in the area. Investors may also want to consider home staging, as staged homes tend to sell quicker and for higher prices than un-staged homes.

If a full 5 to 6 percent real estate commission is not in an investor's budget, they should consider looking into companies such as MLS4Owners that list homes on the MLS for a small fee. While the investor will likely lose out on marketing and consulting services performed by the listing agent, getting the property listed on the MLS is the highest priority.
