Checked on your 401K lately. You may not want to look. I am dreading my next statement. The serious WallStreet Market swings are leaving most Americans dizzy. You may even feel powerless to make a difference.

In the early 1990's I grew very frustrated at what was going on at Wall Street with respect to my personal investments. My wife and I agreed that having some personal control over what happens to our hard earned retirement money would bring down our stress levels. We took what we had saved and started investing in REAL ESTATE. I had several friends who told me I was insane and going to destroy my future. but we knew one thing was going to be very different. While we watched wall street turn our shares from dollars to pennies we knew no matter how bad the Real Estate market might get we would always have REAL PROPERTY. Real property that we could hold and improve upon to add value.

No matter how hard I work or how committed I was to putting money in my 401K, I was powerless to have an effect on how the market preformed. Now that I own Real Estate, I can rent it, improve it, sell it and all the while get special tax breaks from the government. I still have a little investment in the market place, much littler because of the events of the past few weeks. Meanwhile my rental properties are sending me monthly checks.

If you are concerned about your hard earned money and want to look into REAL PROPERTY INVESTMENT, I would love to show you beautiful Austin Texas. The rental Market is booming. Wouldn't you like your investments to send you checks?

The Best decision of your future could well be investing in Real Property.

FOOTBALL

The smell of fresh cut grass, icy hot, ankle tape and the sound of crashing helmets and shoulder pads, tackle dummies, whistles...ahhhhhhhhhhhh it is football season! Whither you love high school, college or professional football this is a great time to be alive. As your team prepares for their next game you read articles, discuss statigy around the water coolers.

If you love football, like I do then there are other great things to love about this time of year. Like HD TV and tailgate parties. FREE GAME DAY TICKETS from active rain friends (hint hint)

No matter who you are cheering for this season, good luck to you and your team. Enjoy the season!!!

Wow! What a roller coaster ride the last five years have been for those who have invested in Real Estate and the stock market. Who could have predicted the twists and turns of the market place? There are many out there who would like to take credit for peering into the future but close examination would prove even the best get fooled in changing markets.

So what time is it now with respect to Real Estate? Should you buy, sell or rent and wait for market indicators to change? Here are five tips for gaging where you are with respect to Real Estate.

1. HOW LONG DO YOU PLAN TO LIVE IN YOUR HOME? Whither you are considering buying, selling or renting it is important to have a firm plan as to how long you intend live where you currently reside. Several years ago when my wife and I started investing in Real Estate we decided to divide our future into 5 year increments of time. We set goals and put time lines on them that could be accomplished in a five year cycle. At the three year mark we started planning for the next five years. We discovered that by planning out our lives we were less open to being lured into bad decisions.

2. HOW IS YOUR CREDIT? This is a question that raises strong emotions in most of us. Even if we believe our credit to be very good we may worry how good it really is when we go to make a major purchase like a home. The first and most important step is to find out if you don't know for sure. Get your credit scores. Know where you stand. Once you know where you stand you can go to work on improving your score. There are many good credit counselors that can help you out. Don't overlook your local church as a resource in helping you get a handle on how to deal with financial difficulty. Many Churches work with CROWN MINISTRIES a Biblical based financial counseling program that links you with families that are working together through classes to learn how to handle money and retire debt. A few years ago the Wall Street journal listed "Your Money Counts" one of the resource manuals for Crown as in the top five books to read for financial counsel.

3. HOW STABLE IS YOUR ENVIRONMENT? We can never know for sure that we will have job security but most of the time we can see changes on the horizon. A company downsizing, a buyout, cutbacks, can be indicators that things may not be as stable as we would like. Our marriage can face challenges at times and that too should be taken into account. Market swings can also give us clues as to what time it is for us. For certain there are buying and selling cycles in the market place. Many would say we are in a clear buyers market currently. Depending on where you live you may or may not agree with that but it is important that we learn to gage the temperature in our environment.
