    Wholesaler Contacts - A Must for any Business, Now Made Exceptionally Easy to Find
    Can I deal with wholesalers;If you have a proof of trading, which can be as little as a letterhead or your business card, you as an individual or group are entitled to deal with a wholesaler. Even if you don't have that, most wholesalers realise the fact that everybody has to start somewhere. Remember that wholesalers need the business just as much as you need the products, so it is doubtful that you will be turned away if you have a real interest in their products.First Contact;So when contacting them, be confident and purposeful when approaching them, and focus on finding exactly what the wholesaler has to offer.If possible I would always suggest going and visiting the wholesaler in person unless of
    Seller financing opens your home up to an entirely new segment of prospective buyers, and the more buyers view your home, the quicker you will find that one qualified buyer. Specifically you will attract more buyers who don't want to or would have a problem getting a bank loan, or those who want a quicker closing or more flexible payment plans than banks offer. Such buyers include the self employed who may be great candidates but are not viewed as favorable by banks as are W-2 employees. Also those with credit blemishes, who may be going down the long road of credit repair. Real estate investors are another large group, since they may own many properties with mortgages, which makes it difficult to get another mortgage from a bank.

    Banks typically take 30 days to close a loan, but with seller financing, YOU make the decision and this can be done much quicker, thereby removing a buyers contingencies faster and in effect leading to a much faster home sale. Regardless of whether you are selling FSBO (For Sale By Owner), or with a real estate agent, make sure you use "Seller Financing" in your marketing and advertising, be it in newspaper ads, flyers, or in the MLS description.

    Other Ideas to Sell Your Home Faster

    Number 1: PRICE IT RIGHT ! Not too high, not too low, check comparables and local agents to get the right number, if you are not getting any action after a week or two, you probably have it priced too high.

    If you will be selling FSBO, use a flat rate MLS open listing. For under $500 you can get listed in MLS with no frills, check the newspaper or call agents to find one who offers this. It will give you much broader exposure and is advertising well spent. Also strongly consider offering a buyers agent commission of 2-4% depending on how quick you want to sell and how hot your local market is.

    Put up lots of signs around the neighborhood, especially on weekends, hold regular open houses, prepare your house for sale, keep it neat & tidy and remove the clutter.

    Sell Your Home for Full Price

    1. Normally a seller will accept a lower price (below market) for an all cash no contingency fast closing.

    2. It will sell for market price if the buyer needs 30-60days to close escrow and will need to qualify for a loan at a bank and do a home inspection.

    3. You as a seller should charge even more (above market) if you will be giving seller financing terms, maybe 5-10% higher than Case 2, or more depending on the terms.

    A Good Investment

    Taking back a note can be a very good investment since you will be making interest on your money which is usually better than CD's, money market rates. In fact you can select the interest rate you want! This is especially appealing if you have no need for the money right now.

    Purchasing Websites vs Building Your Own
    When you decide that you want to run your own online business, the question will soon come up in your mind about whether you should purchase an established website, or build one from scratch. The answers may surprise you, and in this article I want to go over both strategies in detail.Building your own website from scratch is a lot of work. You will have to work very hard, and unless you have thousands of dollars up front to get started, you shouldn't expect to start earning any serious money until after a year has passed. It takes time for a brand new site to build link popularity, traffic, and content. It is necessary for a website to have these things before it can begin to earn money.When you build a new websit

    Does Your Government Really Care if You Become Disabled and Need Benefit Assistance?
    Does your government really care if you are disabled? That's a question that is becoming more and worthy of the public's consideration.Recently, I was on the phone with a disability claimant who needs to have his reconsideration filed and I asked him if he had been seen by any doctors recently. He gave the all too common answer: "No, I haven't been able to go. My insurance ran out a long time ago".This is a very common situation. And I've heard it so much that I've become somewhat desensitived to it. But...if you really think about it, these situations (which ARE extremely common) are horrendous.Let me put on my examiner/caseworker hat for a moment. The disability system is set up so that the prospect of bei

    eBay and a Little-Known Way to Sell in Bulk and Make Fabulous Profits Each Time
    Imagine this for a part-time business opportunity: you fancy working evenings only, you need to make $500 a day pure profit; you do it on just five listings a day fetching a minimum $100 profit per listing plus eBay fees. You can even make sure every listing actually fetches that kind of profit and maybe a great deal more.You do this by listing multi-product lots of potentially quite valuable items, so attracting collectors and personal users for whatever product, while also offering really nice mark up potential for fellow eBay sellers wanting to dismantle your lots and sell items individually on eBay.I create at least twenty multi-product listings each month, focussing on small collectibles like postcards and st

    Tax Benefits

    When selling a home, under current tax law, if you lived in your home for 2 of the last 5 years, your capital gains will be exempt up to $250,000 (twice that if married). Otherwise, your capital gains will be taxed in the year that you collect the capital gains. If you will have significant taxable capital gains on your home sale, it may be very good for your tax situation to take back a seller carry-back note and spread your sale proceeds over several years, or postpone it for several years. Talk to your tax adviser.

    Steps for Successful Seller Financing

    1. Pull the prospective buyers credit report. You will need their permission, but always review a credit report on each borrower, it is a small expense.

    2. Can they afford the home, job, income. If they can't afford it, or have a shaky job or income situation, a foreclosure will be much more likely.

    3. Use a professional to draft the paperwork. Each state has many laws regarding real estate sales, contracts, and mortgages. Use an experienced attorney to draft the promissory note and mortgage or deed of trust.

    4. Down payment - Sellers usually ask for 10-30% down payment to protect themselves in case the buyer stops making payments and the seller has to foreclose on the loan, and take the property back. The larger the down payment the more equity protection you as the seller have. The buyer will also consider how much money he has put down if he is in foreclosure and can't make the payments and wants to walk away from the house. Zero down is very little encouragement for a buyer, should he hit a rough patch.

    5. 1st position or 2nd position - A first position note is much safer for the seller than a second position note.

    6. Set the interest rate above current bank rates, to encourage the buyers to refinance down the road.
