There are many advantages of alpaca ownership for a person filing a tax return. The tax laws change every year, and you may consult a qualified accountant specializing in farming and ranching. Fortunately for you, the herd's value will increase gradually, as female alpacas only deliver one cria a year. This implies that you don't have to pay exorbitant tax on the rising value of your capital. For instance, suppose you buy a pregnant dam for $20,000. After a year she will give birth to a cria, which may be a female. In another 3 years, this cria could give birth to another female cria. Meanwhile, the original dam mother would have had another 2 deliveries. So totally you would have 3 crias, valued at...

Not long ago, I had the opportunity to sit in with a group of very distinguished angle investors and in the room were many "vulture capitalists" (a pun on Venture Capitalists, one they cannot deny). The meeting was choosing the best entrepreneurs and business plans that would go on to compete in a Los Angeles Regional Competition. One of the entrepreneur teams never needed to go to LA, an angle investor agreed to fund their company on the spot. But why was this investor so impressed to move on funding of this company? Well, I listened to the same speech and presentation and found it to be very compelling myself. Would I have invested in this company? Hmm, perhaps, as I do have a bit of experience in...

Starting a small business is all about managing adversity against all odds, especially if you are in a position where you need cash to give your business that necessary kick and a chance to survive. Finding money is your key to survival and there are several resources where you could turn to get that much needed capital.All the sources which you turn to get capital will always have a few questions they will ask and those questions most likely will be that how you are going to put to use the money? How much cash would you need? How are you going to repay back the money? Make sure you have a business plan which tells each and everything about your business, you should be able to predict the cash flow...

Most experienced mergers and acquisitions professionals would probably agree that buyout funding is much easier to raise that start-up funding. Here's some advice learned the hard way, through years of experience, about raising capital for a business venture. First of all, the absolute hardest capital to raise is for a start-up company. Investors don't like investing in a company with no track record and worst yet no revenues. Second, look at the odds against you trying to raise capital for a start-up company. Each year literally thousands of newbie entrepreneurs draft business plans and set out in search for venture capital. Very few of these people are actually successful at raising capital for...

I live in Chicago and I wanted to invest in real estate. Since I used the same excuse others do about not having money, I looked into wholesaling. Wholesaling real estate is the art of putting a motivated seller and a cash buyer together and getting paid for brokering the deal. Now, there are times when this may look a bit overwhelming, but trust me it's not that bad. No matter where you live, wholesaling is possible, even if there are not many investors in the area. In order to get started, I suggest you do the following in order. Find Investors: Go to your local REIA and investment clubs. Go to Google or Meetup(dot)com and search for real estate investment groups. Network with as many people that...

I have been a real estate investor for many years and specialize in wholesaling properties (single and multi-family properties). I have been very successful in this niche of real estate investing. The reason that I have been successful is simple: Having a large data-base of investors to offer my contracts to. Without those contacts, you might want to look into another career. I advertise aggressively for motivated sellers and when I put a house under contract, I need to be ready to move fairly quickly. The seller wants to move quickly and I need to make a living. My standard contract with a seller allows me approximately 45 days to find an investor or rehabber to purchase the contract that I have...

Investors are a unique kind of buyer. As a real estate agent, there are certain advantages to working with investors. First, most investors buy multiple properties. So for one extra client, you might sell 10 extra houses. Second, many investors flip houses, which means you may get some really nice listings out of the deal. Third, it is fairly common for investors to either be able to make a cash purchase, or already funding lined up. And fourth, most investors already understand the real estate buying process, so often times the transaction is easy to close, and you won't have to spend a lot of time walking them through the process. So if you are convinced now, read on for some ideas of how to get...

You've probably heard the say, "Dig Your Well Before Your Thirsty." Well, I am here to tell you that, as a real estate investor, you should build your buyers list before you start looking at doing any type of quick turning, wholesaling, fix and flip and other investing. I've been teaching this forever at our local real estate investor group meetings and I was just talking to a mentoring client and I guess I have not been pushing the concept hard enough. He is now considering buying a house and does not have a buyers list in place to be able to quickly turn the deal, so there is some hesitation... and for good reason. A large, strong buyers list gives you the confidence to buy. In a sellers market...

ign="center"> Few would dispute the utility that mutual funds as investment avenues can add to investors portfolios. Similarly, in recent times, the greater acceptance of mutual funds and their impressive showing in the domestic context has been chronicled in detail. There is also a huge amount of information available on how to invest in mutual funds and make the most of them. Sadly, there is little being done to remove the several misconceptions doing the rounds. Thanks to these misconceptions, investors end up making incorrect investment decisions. In this article, we expose 3 common mutual fund misconceptions. 1. SIP is an investment avenue SIP (systematic investment plan) is a buzzword of sorts...

Being a finder/sourcing agent is one of the best ways to get started in property. The reason for this is two-fold: - Firstly, you get to take a finder's fee. This fee is normally set by you and varies depending on the amount of work you have had to put in to the deal. - Secondly, you are getting invaluable experience in learning how to analyse deals and put them together. As a property finder you can charge anything from £75 upwards. A lot of property finders charge a flat fee between £1000 and £2,500. Others charge between 1% - 2% of the price of the property. As you can imagine, this can be quite lucrative if the property is worth £750,000. Most property finders would...

One of the most important things you can do, as a real estate investor who plans to wholesale property, is to build a buyers list starting right now. Don't wait until you have a property under contract to start building a list of potential investors and retail buyers that will be interested in deals that you find. Building a buyers list takes time and/or costs money. Why not save some money and start building your list using low or no cost methods (what I refer to as methods for poor folks) and then spend money to build your list only when you have an actual deal that you need to sell? Here's how to start building a buyers list using low and no cost methods: Post Ads on Free Classified Ad Websites...

We are currently in a market with tough lending guidelines, and a high number of foreclosures. It is tougher for the average person to purchase a home, meaning Realtors have to work harder than ever to find qualified clients. This is the very reason I have chosen to spend much of my time working with investors. Let’s talk about a few of the potential advantages of having investors as clients. First, most investors will be well qualified, or even have cash available, making the purchase easier. Next, investors generally look for properties based on certain numbers, saving you the time of having to drive them around to find a house they “fall in love” with. And of course we can’t forget that...

Hey everyone, if you are reading this, chances are you are into Chicago real estate investing. I myself have been building a buyers list in Chicago for quite sometime and I wanted to share with everyone what I do. Just for your information, in the last 3 weeks I have helped sell 4 wholesale deals. Not bad for not having a dime to my name and a credit score that resembles a MLB hitting average. When I tell people that I am a real estate investor, I mean it! People look at me and tell me how much they want to do what I do, but then complain about not having money. These people DON'T want to do what you do or else they would have realized that they don't need money to begin. The fastest way to start is...

No matter what type of business you are in there is going to come a time when you are going to have to find investors or another form of financial assistance if you want to grow.

You can find a sample executive summary online to help you in the preparation of this very important document. While that small book you call...

Buyers lists are a wholesaler's ultimate weapon. While many argue that the property itself is the most important part of wholesaling, it is the buyers list that helps you move properties at a lighting fast pace, and it is the buyers list that allows you to leverage deals and earn the most money for yourself. Buyers lists help you convince sellers that you can move their property in a short amount of time, and they provide you with the information you need to differentiate between a good and a bad deal. The buyers list is the most important aspect of wholesaling real estate. However, because of this, an incomplete or inadequate buyers list virtually guarantees failure in the wholesaling industry, and...

Business leads are one of the most important parts of a marketing plan.

Cash flow can make or break a real estate business.  If a real estate investor doesn't anticipate expenses correctly, he will have a negative cash flow. When cash flow is negative for too long, the business will be bankrupt. An investor can lose everything. Cash flow is the net profits after all deductions, taxes and expenses. A real estate investor must budget each home purchase to ensure the investment will have enough cash flow to make a profit. Novice investors might think as long as rent is higher than the mortgage note, their cash flow will be positive. There are other expenses needed to maintain a home. Homeowner's insurance, property taxes and management company fees need to be considered...

It is amazing the amount of advice that is given to entrepreneurs on how to approach venture capitalists. In fact, some venture capitalists actually put out booklets, and do seminars to teach people how to approach them, because supposedly they are so busy they don't have time to talk to anyone until they have the next iPhone invention patent sitting in their hip pocket. Sometimes, I laugh at how the venture capitalists have proclaimed themselves God, and how the entrepreneurs, the great people who built this nation are somehow second rate and beholden to their whims. The reality is, if you are a great entrepreneur, venture funding capitalists will contact you. However over the last 27 years in...

p>If you were a foreigner who wanted to move to the United States, how much would it be worth to you? The EB-5 visa program, which was introduced in pilot mode in 1990 and has been extended several times since, allows immigrants to trade investment dollars for visas. Foreigners who invest $500,000 to $1 million in private or public U.S. enterprises can receive permanent legal residency in return. Spouses and children of qualifying investors also receive visas. The minimum investment for most businesses is $1 million, but those who invest in designated "regional centers" or who establish businesses in economically disadvantaged areas can put in as little as $500,000 to qualify for the program...

Any venture capitalist you meet will be pretty high on themselves, and they will tell you they create economic activity. Of course, most entrepreneurs don't usually have that similar view, rather they see them as a necessary evil. Are VC a necessary evil? You see, in many regards Venture Capitalists have left a bad taste in the mouths of many economic development associations, but they realize that new ventures must have funding. The VC credibility as you remember was at an all-time low after the dot-com bubble burst. The venture funding arena does create jobs, and economic opportunity, but don't kid yourself, the VC are out for themselves, first and foremost, like any business, they want to make...

"Investors are investing in you, the team" That's what companies who seek venture funding are advised, as they were once again, many times, at a boot camp for startups where I was a mentor recently. "We're investing in the team" is easy to say. It's not always easy to understand. That's especially the case if you haven't had a lot of team experiences, and more specifically, if you haven't had a lot of business team experiences and roles. To really understand "We're investing in the team," you have to understand teamwork in a visceral sense. And sometimes, frankly, it helps to have been on, and to have led very successful and less successful teams, as well. "We're investing in the team" is far easier...

In the world of business consulting one of the most common questions I often hear is "how can I get money to start my own business?"

The best way to approach this is to draft a basic copy of a business plan outlying the mission and vision statement and then following up regarding areas and departments in the business such as management, operations, marketing, sales etc... In addition, it would probably be a good idea to research competitors that you may need to outmaneuver to obtain customers and business. If you are starting a...

"How much can I save?" "What is the cost of legal work done offshore?" "Please give me a quote for 100 hours per month for legal work done in India." "What is your hourly rate?" "How much do you charge for ______?" These are the questions and requests directed my way at the beginning of conversation when someone contacts me about sending certain legal tasks offshore for completion. Regularly I advise potential clients that the first question to be asked, either of a lawyer or someone potentially assisting in the outsourcing of a legal project, is not "how much?" Instead, at the outset, determination should be made whether those who would work on the project have the skills, training and experience...

Over a year ago when I was visiting my very favorite bookstore (the Upstart Crow, in San Diego's Seaport Village), I saw a book titled Leadership the Eleanor Roosevelt Way. Because I am a fan of Mrs. Roosevelt, I knew I had to grab it, but then something happened and distracted me, and I left the bookstore without the book in hand. One thing led to another, and I never got around to ordering it. So I was truly delighted when I visited again last month and the book was still there! Part biography, part instruction on leadership in the business context, Leadership the Eleanor Roosevelt Way is an easy and interesting read. The author gives a chronological review of Mrs. Roosevelt's life and draws out...

I've been investing in real estate since the early '80s. I've done rentals, rehabs, some wholesaling, and some lease options. I've done rent-to-owns and raised and repaid over a half million dollars in private capital to fuel my efforts. And I've learned some valuable lessons along the way... I've learned that real estate investing is a lot of work, with no shortage of pitfalls, and that rentals aren't nearly as passive as I thought they'd be. In short, real estate investing can be a real mine field and navigating through it takes considerable time, knowledge and resources. At least I thought it did. In 2006 I was researching pre-construction condos and condo conversions when I stumbled onto...

If you are tired of hearing banks telling you that they will not finance your real estate projects, it may be time to consider using private capital to fund your deals. The economic conditions that include the meltdown of many financial institutions have forced Lenders to be extremely cautious as they consider new applications. Understandably, in order to help mitigate the risks of further losses, Lenders are being very selective and cherry picking from only the very strongest loan applications being presented to them. In addition, most Lenders are modifying their underwriting criteria making it even more challenging to meet their minimum guidelines. There has never been a better time and need to...

In an earlier article, I mentioned the value of self-storage units as valuable real estate gems, even if they aren’t in the commercial real estate mainstream. I’d like to explore some basic considerations for this type of investment, as it is something I get asked about with some frequency. First, you need to consider the overall demand for the units you may have in mind. I’ve heard many an investor talk about some location near them that would be “perfect for storage units”. Perfect perhaps for them, but not necessarily a good investment. It all comes down to the number of available units in your area and how “full” they are to make a truly good investment decision. For example, if...
