Career Change Guide - Talk To Everyone!
Many people feel that they are in the wrong job - and yet they don't really know what to do to get out if it. There's something of a dissatisfaction, eating away at them from the inside that feels uncomfortable, but it's unclear exactly how bad things are.So they push on year after year, wondering what to do and end up taking the path of least resistance, by doing nothing.Yet, surprisingly to some, there are some really easy things you can do to set yourself up when it comes to career change. Steps you can start taking today in easy stages that will make a real difference to your quest.In fact, without making much effort, you can start to build the right relationships with lots of people who will become your allies in the search for a role you really want for your career.These people can become your eyes and ears, on the lookout for what you want, and point you in the right direction - and others in yours.In 'How To Win Friends and Influence People', the master of using relationship building skills to your advantage, Dale Carnegie, develops the theme at length.In this marvellous book, written back in the earlier decades of the last century (published around 1936), he uses his considerable experience to explain how being interested in OTHER people is the key to being interesting to them.And when you have such a relationship with them, peo

ge, the value at that time might be land value only. You can save a lot of money in this way.

There is one thing to watch with this approach though. Only enter into the contract to buy if you are sure you will want to purchase the property when it is finished. A few years ago people were entering into these contracts and re-selling the property before it was finished for a higher price. Some people made a lot of money from this and started entering into lots of contracts to buy off the plan with no intention of ever actually buying the properties. This was working terrifically until over-supply caught up with them. They found that they could not sell the property for a profit and they could not afford to buy all the properties they had entered into contracts for. They lost money – some of them lost lots of money. Please, only use this strategy to actually buy a property you want. Remember you are entering into a legally binding contract to purchase the property.

Of course, if circumstances change for you and you no longer want to proceed with the purchase at the time of settlement, then you can often find a buyer who will want to buy the property from you and there’s probably a good chance that you will make a profit out of it. But please do not enter into the contract with the intention of never actually buying it.

Approach 6 – 100% finance

This is probably the most obvious one. Ask the lender to lend you 100% of the purchase price. Competition amongst lenders is increasing and 100% loans are becoming more available. However, lenders tend to withdraw such products when the property market stalls and make them available again when the market is rising.

Also, they will be very particular when assessing your application. They will only offer 100% loans for what they perceive to be very low risk peopl

Choosing Your Domain Name - Internet Marketing
This is actually an important key to your business and sometimes its success. I will explain why through-out this article.Firstly when choosing a domain name you can use letters, numbers or hyphens however you can’t use hyphens at the beginning nor the end of your URL. You can use up to 67 characters.Choosing a smaller domain name will help your website be more easily remembered for repeat vistors (who don’t bookmark your website but wish to return). Problem is most of the smaller domain names are taken these days.Choosing a name that is relevant and rich in keywords for your product or service will enhance your chances of being found in the search engines. From my knowledge using hyphens can actually give you a better position for example, if you are selling horse shoes you might choose a domain name that looks like this: www.horse-shoes.comSome of my websites are found by someone typing this as a keyword www.horse (example only) and that’s all they type. If you type that into google you’ll see that all domain names that start with www.horse are brought up first!You may also want to consider buying the domain names such as if you wanted www.horse-shoes.com also buy www.horse-shoes.org and .biz and .us… This can help ensure that someone doesn’t take any business from you simply by buying your name and replacing the .org .net .us .biz etc.If you

There’s a myth out there that you cannot buy property in Australia for no money down. The myth is wrong. You can buy property for no money down (or for very little money down). However, as they say, there’s no myth without fire (that’s the right expression isn’t it?). What I’m trying to say is that buying property for no money down is not the “normal” way of doing things. This means that you have to go about things slightly differently to normal to achieve it. By the way, as only 4% of Aussies reach retirement age with enough money to live off their reserves, doing things differently is a great approach as far as I am concerned!

So, let’s get on with it!

Approach 1 – Use Existing Equity In Your Home

If you own your own home (with or without a mortgage), you may have equity in your home that you can use.

So, let’s say that your home is worth $400,000 and that you have a mortgage on it of $250,000. You therefore have $150,000 of equity in your home ($400,000 less $250,000 = $150,000). Let’s also assume that you have found a great investment property that you now want to buy for $200,000. If you go along to a lender and offer both properties as security, it is likely that they will lend you 80% (or maybe more) of the value of both properties. So, the combined value of the two properties is $600,000. If they were to lend you 80%, that would be $480,000. Of this, $250,000 would cover your existing home loan leaving up to $230,000 for the purchase of your new investment property. This would not only pay the cost of the property but would also leave an extra $30,000 for costs (legal fees, stamp duty, etc.).

Approach 2 – Buy At A Discount

If you have found an investment property that is worth $200,000 and you can negotiate a purchase price of, say, $160,000 then you may be able to get the lender to lend you, say, 80% of the value instead of 80% of the purchase price. This would cover the whole purchase price and just leave you to pay for the costs.

While this sounds great in theory, most lenders these days take the approach of only lending based upon whichever is lower, the value or the purchase price. You will usually have to have a very good relationship with the lender for them to lend based upon a higher value.

If you are unable to convince any lenders to lend based upon valuation, then an alternative approach is to initially borrow based upon the purchase price and then re-finance as quickly as you can with another lender. The new lender will use a valuation to determine how much they will lend. Obviously, the disadvantage of this is that you will need to find additional funds for a short period of time until you re-finance. However, can you borrow these funds for a short while from family, or friends, or credit cards, or personal loans, or … ?

If you have a small pool of funds that is just enough for you to purchase one property in this way, you might decide that you would keep re-using this pool of funds to keep buying more discounted properties, each time converting them into no money down deals as soon as possible after you own them. A large property portfolio can be built this way with only a small pool of money.

Approach 3 – Renovate and Refinance

Approach 3 is similar to approach 2. The difference is that you purchase at a fair price (not necessarily discounted) and then do a cosmetic renovation that adds substantially more value than the cost of the renovation, and then you re-finance.

So, if we again take our $200,000 investment property. Let’s say you buy it for $200,000. You then spend $5,000 doing a few cosmetic improvements (a lick of paint, tidy the yard, clean the kitchen, etc?) that brings the property up to a value of, let’s say, $250,000. If you then re-finance it at 80% of $250,000, the lender will give you $200,000. You have a short term outlay, most of which is repaid from the re-finance. The cash you eventually leave in the deal in this example is the renovation and purchase costs. Of course, if you were able to get a 90% loan, you would not need to increase the value as much as this and you would still achieve a no money down deal.

Approach 4 – Vendor Finance

I like this one! And it’s more common than you might think. Let’s take our $200,000 investment property again. You would offer to purchase the property for $200,000 but on the terms that you would pay, say, 80% now and the balance in, say, 2 years. So, the bank loan covers your initial payment and a refinance 2 years later (when prices have increased) may cover the extra you need to pay then.

This approach is more common with rural and agricultural properties but there is no reason why you should not apply it to residential property too.

To make it work best, remember that it has to be a good deal for the vendor too. They have to have a good reason to go for the deal. So, maybe you will choose to offer them slightly more than its current value or maybe you will pay them a higher than normal interest rate on the amount you still owe them, and you will offer them the security of a second mortgage, won’t you? etc.

Also, it is a very good idea to put your offer in on the basis of two options. Such as: “I’ll buy the house in the normal way for $180,000 or on vendor finance terms for $200,000”. This clearly demonstrates the extra that you are offering for the vendor finance terms.

Approach 5 – Off The Plan

Here’s another good one. If you agree to buy a property off the plan, you will normally have some time before it is finished and, if the property market is rising, it may have risen enough to get a normal mortgage that covers 100% of the purchase price.

Let’s take an example. Say the property price is $200,000 again and let’s say that building is expected to complete and the property will be ready for you to move into (or rent out) in 18 months time. However, by the time it is ready to be occupied, it might have increased in value. This could be simply because the market has moved up or it could be for other reasons, such as the price to buy at an early stage of the development process can be at a discount to its true value. So, let’s say that the property is worth $250,000 by the time it is ready. Getting an 80% loan on the property would give you $200,000 – just enough to buy it for no money down (excluding costs). And, if you were to get a 90% loan, you might even get money back from the deal!

There are a couple of great extra twists you can use with this approach. Normally you would need to put in a 10% deposit when you agreed to purchase the property. You would get this back at settlement from the cash from the bank loan. However, if you are interested in no money down deals then you are unlikely to want to put 10% in up front and leave it sitting there for 18 months! So, the way round this is to get a deposit bond. A deposit bond acts like a loan for the deposit. So, you do not need to pay the deposit! Instead you pay a small fee to the deposit bond provider. Your mortgage broker will be able to help you find a suitable deposit bond provider.

There’s a second great twist to this strategy. And that’s to buy in Victoria. The stamp duty rules in Victoria say that duty is payable on the value of the property at the time that contracts are exchanged. If you enter the deal at an early stage, the value at that time might be land value only. You can save a lot of money in this way.

Microsoft OneNote 2007 Is An Organizational Necessity
Microsoft OneNote 2007 is one of the best program I have ever used. Since the first time I opened the program several months back I have been using it on a daily basis. Basically replicating the concept of a binder, the program allows the user to create a virtual binder with pages, tabs and sub tabs.If you don't have a copy of Microsoft Office 2007, I highly recommend picking one up. This program has changed the way I store my data.The software is ideal for anybody who uses a computer throughout the entire day and always has a running "to do" list. Being visually oriented, this program allows me to store far more notes than I could keep organized outside of the computer.While this software has the capability to eliminate the need for paper notepads and "to do" lists, I wouldn't recommend going all digital. It is impossible to be around a computer all the time and at some point notes will be taken by paper. Don't become unorganized by trying to use OneNote exclusively. OneNote 2007 works very nicely as an addition to the traditional pen and paper.Throughout the day I normally keep a running "to do" list and "quick notes" lists on a yellow legal pad. While keeping most of the tasks requiring immediate attention on a piece of paper works fine, keeping track of tasks with long term deadlines is more difficult. OneNote is an excellent way to compile daily lists.

Career in the Toilet?
Individuals not within their target career field may feel insecure, doubtful, or maybe even ashamed of their current job title. Career changers make up a large portion of the job-searching population. Although people (in general) are “creatures of habit,” they thrive for change – especially when unhappy in their current position or industry. Continuing with educational goals or transferring to another industry can alleviate these feelings, yet shouldn’t be the only remedy administered.This list of questions will allow you to soul search, discovering what your ultimate career goal is, and what to do once you identify it. Ask yourself the following questions:1. What do I like to do, or what am I good at? Write this title or job description prominently at the top of a blank piece of paper – preferably within a notebook or binder that will eventually transform into a journal.2. Do I possess skills relevant to this position? If yes, what are they? Place your answer under the title or job description, from question 1.3. If no transferable skills are obvious, what type of degree, certification, or work experience is required? List this answer next in your journal.4. List 10 companies you’d like to work for and include the types of skills, knowledge, and qualifications they prefer in a candidate.5. List in order of importance, each step required

Searching For Major Growth
Here is your trivia question of the day: What do tsunami, xbox 360, Brad Pitt, Britney Spears and Harry Potter have in common? (Insert Jeopardy theme music here.) The answer: They were five of the top ten Google News searches in 2005. (Yes, Brad’s current flame also made the list.) When I was nine years old, the word “googol” was the answer to another trivia question, this one posed by my older brother: “What is the world’s biggest number?” After I finally learned the answer, he said, “Nope, it’s a googol-and-one.” Aargh!Today, of course, most everyone knows about Google. It’s a major part of our Internet culture…both a noun (“Go to Google and find out”) and a verb (“Let’s google it”). With their ever increasing offerings, it appears Google is attempting to become much more than simply the world’s largest search engine. While it seldom “invents” a feature, the ones it adds are usually the best. Other services offered by Google include: Earth; Desktop; Image; Alerts; Froogle; Directory; Book Search; Music; Scholar; Picasa; Video; Gmail; Catalogs; and, Maps.All this from a company founded eight years ago that gives nearly everything away for free! But Google does make money from those small ads on the right side of search pages, and right now those “Sponsored Links” are the golden goose (doubling revenue to $1.58 billion for the most recently reported quarter). And with $7.

Approach 6 – 100% finance

Also, they will be very particular when assessing your application. They will only offer 100% loans for what they perceive to be very low risk people and very low risk properties. And, they often charge a premium for these loans with higher fees and higher interest rates. Nevertheless, this might be the best approach for what you want to do.

Approach 7 – Service Provider

A service provider that structures itself specifically aimed at helping people to buy property with no money down can be a great way for many people. The service providers will work with you to help find the right property and the right finance structure.

Some service providers will charge you a fee for their services. However, often they will have direct arrangements with property developers and mortgage brokers that means they can package up a no money down deal for you. The property developers and mortgage brokers like the arrangement as the service provider will do much of their sales work for them – which saves them money. This can be a substantial saving and many property developers and mortgage brokers are very happy to pay a commission to the service provider as this will still save them a considerable sum. In this way, the service provider can often work for you without you having to pay them anything.

There are a growing number of these service providers and it is worth checking out a few to see the range of services they offer and what (if anything) that they charge.

I would strongly advise you to ensure that you obtain an independent valuation before you enter into any contracts. Some service providers will automatically do this for you. For other you will need to organise this yourself.

There are probably many more ways of buying property with no money. The key is to start thinking outside the square and ask yourself and others involved (e.g. the vendor and the real estate agent) “How could I buy this property without putting any money into it?”. You might be surprised by the great answers you get!

I wish you great investing!
