The Law of Now

March 26, 2012 by Marco Santarelli

Optimism can only be rewarding if one takes action. Without it, it’s like driving a car that runs out of fuel; you’ll never arrive at your goal. Your past mistakes or apprehension about the future has nothing to do with what you can do today or what you should act upon. Decision-making may be risky but there are great results if it is coupled with a conscious effort to do what is right.

People are generally reluctant to kick start their plans right away because they are either afraid to commit mistakes or they can make foolish decisions. They dread of becoming listless, indifferent to taking a step to realize their potential.

Real Estate Best Hedge Against 'Massive Inflation'

March 20, 2012 by Marco Santarelli

“Massive inflation” is poised to strike the U.S. economy and the best hedge against galloping prices won't be gold but real estate, says the sector's mogul Donald Trump.

Gold, a fixed asset whose supply does anything but fluctuate, has long been used as a hedge against inflation, although real estate will do a better job going forward due to its availability and current pricing.

“While it seems that rents are rising at the expense of home values, the opposite is true. A thriving rental market will stimulate home sales as investors snap up low-priced inventory to convert to rentals,” said chief economist for Zillow Dr. Stan Humphries in a release.

Real Estate Investment Opportunities Rise as Rentership Grows

March 6, 2012 by Marco Santarelli

It used to be that home-ownership was a part of the American dream. Home-buyers would scour for properties that suit their needs whether it was for their growing family or for a second home. But the global economic slump that has plagued the real estate market has created a major shift on the housing landscape.

Oliver Chang, Head of U.S. Housing Strategy at Morgan Stanley, recently explained the reason behind this new housing landscape. He opines, “One of the big reasons why we believe the rate of home-ownership is going to decline and more people are going to rent is that it’s just getting harder and harder to get a mortgage and so as people are not able to buy homes, they’re basically forced to rent and we see that continuing.”
