imageAn airplane uses up to 90% of it’s power on the take-off, but once it gets to cruising height, around 36,000 to 41,000 feet, it only uses around 65% of it’s power. When you decide to lose weight, the hardest part is losing it, right? It’s relatively easy to keep it off once it’s lost. Like getting fit; getting fit is tough, but staying fit is easier. This applies to learning a new skill or starting a new venture, if you’ll excuse the pun.

imageWith the real estate market having gone through a major readjustment during almost two years now, you have probably heard the term short sale being bandied about.  You may be one of the many that is asking, just what is a short sale anyway?  The process can be quite convoluted, especially when there are multiple parties, i.e. insurers, second mortgages and other lien holders, involved, but the idea remains the same no matter how many parties are involved. The idea behind a short sale is that the borrower has fallen upon financial and/or economic hardship and he/she cannot keep up with mortgage payments.  The borrower may be in default and foreclosure may be at hand.  However, in order to avoid foreclosure, which is quite expensive to the lender, the parties come to an agreement to sell the property for less than what is currently owed on the mortgage loan.  The borrower agrees to turn over the proceeds from the short sale to the bank and the bank agrees, as long as the settlement is clearly indicated in the acceptance offer, to extinguish the remaining balance on the mortgage loan. It is important to take notice of the fact that the lender will usually include a clause on the short sale agreement whereby it will reserve the right to approve or disapprove any short sale.  The lender has final say on any short sale agreement and it will have had its experts conduct an assessment on the losses.  If the losses do not conform to the parameters set up by its experts, the lender will back out of the deal.  It is clearly beneficial to the borrower to have his/her own expert in this area handling matters because a real expert in short sales is trained for all of the intricacies involved in this type of real estate proceeding.  A borrower is looking to mitigate the losses and avoid foreclosure.  This implies getting out from under some of the debt burden he/she may have incurred.  However, a short sale will stay on a credit report for seven years, just like all other entries do, with the exception of bankruptcy.  A short sale damages a credit report, but usually not as much as a foreclosure.  Typically, a borrower who has gone through a short sale can try to obtain another mortgage within 1 to 3 years after the short sale has gone through. A short sale professional is recommended because the borrower is usually under the obligation to submit a short sale packet with a lot of information to the lender in order for it to be considered.  The borrower will have to disclose W-2s, pay check stubs, assets, provide bank statements, property value assessments, an agreement to list the property and even a hardship where the borrower states how and why he/she is in financial/economic hardship.  Some borrowers think that the packet provided by the bank is not obligatory to fill out and they fail to do so.  If the borrower fails to completely fill out the short sale packet, the lender will never agree to a short sale.  In addition, even if the lender agrees to forgive the balance on the loan, that does not mean that other lien holders will also agree to forgive whatever a borrower may owe them.  Therefore, I always recommend a professional for handling such an intricate and time-consuming process.

imageWhat is a passive income stream and what does it mean to you? Well a passive income stream is when you provide something once and then reap the rewards in the form of an income from that product for an extended period of time. Ideally it would provide you an income for the rest of your life. Examples of things that are not a passive income stream.  You work for someone else, in a traditional job such as a bank. You have to go in every day to get paid. You sell a product that you have produced and make some money, but you have to sell another to make more money. A sales person that sells a one off product, for example windows. They have to go out and sell windows every day to get paid.  Examples of a passive income stream. A singer that produces a song, once recorded they earn royalties every time someone plays it or buys it. They don’t sell it themselves. Money in a savings account or other investment. The interest accrues over a period of time. Well hopefully anyway. An author produces a book and earns an income every time someone buys it. An ebook you create and place online. Make it automatically mailed to the purchaser and you should never have to touch it. A business owner that reaches the point where they can employ someone to manage it for them. Most entrepreneurs have multiple businesses, but they don’t run them all personally themselves. A salesman, who sells a reoccurring product, for example car insurance. They would earn commission every time that person renews the insurance. A network marketer that sells a product and gets paid a commission every time the buyer reorders the product. Network marketing or Multi Level Marketing is in my opinion one of the more powerful forms of a passive income stream. Once you start to build your team, then you start to earn from all their sales as well as your own. And despite people’s suspicion of Multi Level Marketing, this is the way that most businesses operate. They employ people to sell their products and the owners receive a commission, or profit from every sale. The only difference is the sales person has no opportunity to build their own business. A truly passive income stream also continues long after you give up work. So once you retire, whatever you worked on in your employment continues to pay you a salary. Sadly most of our pensions will not always live up to this expectation. Can you afford to carry on living the way you are? A passive income doesn’t finish when you retire.

imageSmart, savvy women jazz me. I include pioneering women like Mary Baker Eddy, Myrtle Fillmore, Johnnie Colemon and H. Emilie Cady in this category. And, then there are  a select few women whose accomplishments compel me to take action. I count Louise Hay among the elite group. These women operate like forces of nature. Nothing can stop them. Louise Hay – Science of Mind’s 2009 Spiritual Hero of the Year Beyond Ms. Hay’s personal accomplishments, which include being the 6th all-time best-selling female author ever, healing herself of cervical cancer without medical intervention, working with AIDS patients at a time when they were considered untouchable and much, much more, Louise has almost singlehandedly moved New Thought from the fringe into the mainstream. Doesn’t that just turn you on? I’d get to work now but I have to finish this article first. Now, imagine my excitement when I found not one, but two in-depth articles written about Ms. Hay. I found the first article, entitled “The Queen of the New Age” by Mark Oppenheimer, through an archival search on the New York Times website. And, the second article came to me courtesy of a dear Facebook friend. This article, entitled “The Ambassador of New Thought” by Claudia Abbott, appears in the January 2010 issue of “Science of Mind.” As expected, each interviewer approaches Ms. Hay from a different point of view. Abbott’s story in “Science of Mind” proclaims Ms. Hay the “Spiritual Hero of the Year.” But, while it touches on Ms. Hay’s tremendous accomplishments, it fails to give the full weight of what Hay House means for New Thought now and to future generations. Quite frankly, I was surprised to find that Abbott did not offer a proper context in which to consider Hay House and its achievements. New Thought has always had a literary tradition. Our principles have chiefly been communicated through the written word. It’s why the inspirational quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie and others touch us so deeply. Check the Facebook fan page of any person talking about the Law of Attraction (which is what mainstream media has reduced New Thought to) and you’ll find it chock full of inspirational quotations from these thinkers and others. Consider this: in an industry run amok with consolidation, where the big eat the little, Hay House has not only survived, but it has also thrived. According to Oppenheimer’s profile, Hay House has the cash reserves to pay advances that rival those of larger publishing houses (upwards of $1,000,000). Moreover, they’ve pioneered a model wherein their writers’ fortunes do not turn on book sales or critical reviews alone. Instead, the writers earn royalties on their books as well as ancillary products inspired by their books, i.e. greeting cards, inspirational keepsakes, etc. No other publishing house can make this claim. And, Hay House has consistently fended off larger corporations that have sniffed around, attempting to purchase them. Ms. Hay (and her business partner Reid Tracy) has built a company that can survive long after she’s gone. And, this is significant because it is the first time that a sustainable business like Hay House has been produced from within the New Thought community. We have lots of wonderful New Thought books. And, we’ve had strong businessmen like Robert Collier (“The Secret of the Ages”) and Napoleon Hill (“Think and Grow Rich”) and many more. But, those men came from the business world and latched on to New Thought principles. They made use of New Thought teachings, but they laid no business apprenticeship pathways for others to follow. Conversely, Ms. Hay has built a media empire that creates pathways to wealth for other New Thought adherents. That’s major! I expected Oppenheimer to miss the true value of Hay House and he doesn’t disappoint. But, I expected a publication like “Science of Mind” to zero in on an important perspective like this. Here is a woman who has taken New Thought out of relative obscurity and made it mainstream. Moreover, she didn’t just build a company that benefits herself; she has instead created a lasting platform from which New Thought writers can be launched for years to come. Before there was a Rhonda Byrne, there was a Louise Hay tearing down walls and barriers so that a video like “The Secret” could have a platform. The mainstream media is going to color our stories in a shade of weird. Consider the backlash in the review column on www.amazon.com for “The Secret.” Few people want to accept FULL responsibility for their experience – the good and the bad. Even though what we teach – that you can have the life you want, just choose it – has the ring of truth for them, it always comes back to the question of why bad things happen to good people. “So, are you saying that the people who died in the 9/11 attacks brought that on themselves?” they will ask. As the next generation of New Thought thinkers, we cannot look at ourselves through the lens of the mainstream media. Just as we choose the lives we lead, we must also choose the lens through which we see ourselves. Louise Hay has done something that is utterly remarkable and should be recognized appropriately for it. She is way more than just a spiritual hero. Let us give Hay House and Louise Hay her full and proper due.
imageA commercial mortgage loan, as the name suggests is taken for bettering commercial gains. Such a loan has a wide variety of uses ranging from business expansion to buying of commercial properties or even for starting a business. Commercial mortgage loans are a great help for all businessmen, especially those who are in the phase of business expansion or even starting out afresh. Business mortgage loans are also availed by those who don’t have enough finances to buy a new property or indulge in new developmental & constructional activities. With such a type of commercial mortgage finance you can buy business complexes, retail outlets, office buildings, etc.

For availing such a loan usually the property you are buying is kept as collateral till the repayment of the loan amount. In such cases the credit value or the equity of your commercial property is of more importance than your own credit record.

Apart from the fact that foreclosure of property is a fact that looms large over business mortgage loan, there are many advantages to such a loan. The interest rate charged here is low and mostly accompanies flexible repayment options. Before you take a loan, plan out the details as to why the loan is required or what development or repair or improvement work is to be done. Such details will be required for sanctioning the business mortgages loan. The size and repayment details of your commercial mortgage loan will largely depend upon the size of your firm and the proportion of money required. We feature here certain advantages and disadvantages of a commercial mortgages loan:

The interest payment on such a loan is tax-deductible. The repayments can be made with pre-tax a fund, which gives you a tax break. In a business mortgage refinance you can retain hold of full ownership of the property. Rules state that the lender can claim an interest return only on the mortgage and not on the percentage of the ownership. With flexible repayment schedules you can easily manage your finances efficiently and plan them accordingly. One can maintain a smooth cash flow with a well planned commercial mortgage financing. Lower up-front payments help make the capital accessible. The biggest disadvantage of a commercial property loans is the foreclosure of the property in case of non-payment Default penalties are also applicable in case of missing a payment or bankruptcy

Most commercial mortgage lenders look for the Loan-To-Value Ratio apart from the credit score. A broker for a commercial loan mortgage will also assess your financial condition and the equity of the property. Some lenders ask for a down payment of 20 percent of the purchase price. Commercial real estate loans have varying tenures with averages from about 10 – 30.

The availability of hundreds of commercial mortgage loan online and also in traditional forms adds to the complexity of finding a proper commercial mortgage rate as well as a broker / advisor who can take you through the process smoothly and guide you to obtain a commercial mortgage loan. One must therefore exercise caution in finding the perfect commercial mortgage.
