Is Owning A Rental Property Worth It?
Posted March 20th, 2014 by colordarcyOne of the best decisions I ever made was to invest in a rental property.
When I started out, I bought a property that was nothing to write home about and I ended up sleeping on the floor. I worked very hard to make the house look presentable enough for tenants to want to move in.
A lot of people will make you question the wisdom of property investment. There are times when might question it yourself in the early years.
I learned an important lesson from that first rental property. Everything comes down to cash flow.

How You Can Make More Money Without Turning Up For Work
Posted February 18th, 2014 by colordarcyI spent several years of my life working for someone else.
For a decade I worked in engineering. I gave that up to do a full time degree. Then I worked as writer.
All the jobs I had led to one place – a dead end.
The dead end is the point where you have reached your ceiling.
Until you reach this point, a job really isn’t such a bad thing.
You get paid and someone else worries about the business side of things. All you need to do is turn up, do your job well, get paid and go to sleep when you get home.

How the Uninformed Gamble with Their Home: Protect Your Belongings with the Right Insurance Policy
Posted February 11th, 2014 by ameristarWealth to most people means money. When I used to think about wealth I would think about wealthy people. The kind of people you see speeding past you in their Bentleys or those people who owned a much bigger house than me with six bedrooms and secure gated entry. To buy all these things you need money of course and lots of it. Even to be a millionaire these days is not such a big thing as it once was. The people we look up to as wealthy now are more likely to be billionaires than millionaires.

How To Banish Inflation From Your Wallet
Posted January 30th, 2014 by colordarcyThere are really only two kinds of inflation you should be worried about:
- The inflation that starts costing you more money
- The inflation you can’t see
You notice the first one when you go and do your weekly shopping and leave the supermarket scratching your head and thinking ‘what did I put in the trolley that made it cost this much?’
The inflation you can’t see is different.
It comes in cycles. This kind of inflation sneaks up on you when your attention is on other things.

The Shocking Truth about the Fine Details of an FHA Loan
Posted January 21st, 2014 by ameristarFunny isn’t it how life can point you in a direction you would never have thought of going. I like boxing and one day I decided to look up this heavyweight boxer and how he became a heavyweight champion by beating Muhammad Ali in 1973. This was a fight nobody expected this boxer with a unique, unorthodox style to win. Four years earlier he had lost a fight to an unknown fighter from Puerto Rico, even getting himself knocked out in the process.

5 Ways that VA Mortgages Trump Other Kinds of Loans
Posted December 30th, 2013 by ameristarWhen I speak to someone who shows an interest in fractional ownership properties, I can understand when that person says “is this a timeshare?” What I can tell you is that the two are quite different in a number of important ways.
