Freedom, say the word out loud. Now close your eyes and say the word to yourself. What do you see when you say the word freedom? Do you see yourself stuck in a cubical working long hours, or do you see yourself working when you want to, in your pajamas if you choose to do so?Do you envision yourself missing out on life while you make money for companies that will never truly show appreciation for you and all you do for them. Do you see yourself living life by your terms and not missing out on any of life’s events?We were not meant to live in this world to work hard all our lives and miss out on what the world has to offer. It has been drilled into our heads for years that this is the way of life. But is it really our God given path? Your VISION?What makes us different from others who are highly successful in life? The answer is nothing, except that maybe they worked a little harder towards their goals and vision. We are all the same and we all deserve the same rewards in life, you have to be willing to make small sacrifices to make it happen though.Having a home based business can help you to achieve the freedom that you are so desperately seeking.Now before you think, “Awe man this is crazy, nobody makes money in those home based businesses.” I would like to tell you that you are wrong and I can point out thousands of people who not only attained freedom through home based business but also are living a rather nice life because of it.They had to work hard, but it is so much different when you are the boss and the work that you put in benefits you entirely and not someone else. Not to mention if anyone says to you that it is easy and you can make a million in a few days, I suggest you walk away; chances are it is not a legit operation or they would just leave you high and dry. A good leader will show people their vision. They also had to thicken their skin so they could better deal with rejection, but they did it…… And successful home based businesses are happening everyday.People are tired of working dead end jobs or not knowing if they are going to have a job. They no longer want to work for someone that can not understand that they have to leave work early because their child is sick, or in a play or musical or a game.Americans are looking for more independence and freedom from the daily grind. With the economy in peril as well as the burden the tax payers are going to have to face for generations, there is no better time than now to get into a home based business. Experts have been predicting for months that things are only going to get harder and not easier for Americans’.So far they have been right; people have lost jobs, homes, security and their very own dignity.Only YOU can change your life! Only YOU can plan your own destiny! Only YOU can make your life better and live out your dreams! Do not let anyone stop or hinder you. Those that try, evade them. They are dream stealers and they are the ones that will always be working and struggling in life. Misery loves company, and by the way, it is always fun to see their reaction when you become successful.Somehow they have time to listen to you now.

A majority of the wealthiest people in the world acquired their wealth through business building; Home Based Business work is just one such avenue. In fact, working a business from home in part due to your ability to leverage the reputation and credibility of an established business, to be able to work flexible hours and work from home and still make real cash flow.Most of the time however, that considerable cash flow takes time to make. Remember, it is not a get-rich-quick industry. Sure you hear plenty of amazing stories of people overcoming amazing odds to create amazing amounts of cash – but you don’t get to hear the whole story – that’s only the end of it; the story began many years ago in reality after years of training, education and old fashioned hard work.For the average, hard working Home Based Business worker, it takes time and a commitment to consistent, daily action to create a 6- or 7-figure income. A good 2-5 years is a good rule of thumb – not bad when you compare it to the old 40-40-40 plan (work forty hours a week for forty years to retire with a forty-karat gold watch – and they may not be handing out watches today…). However, by harnessing the power of the internet today, there are home business owners earning record profits after 12 months of consistent, daily action (we are talking multiple 6- & even some 7-figure earners here!).So how can you make 6-figures today with Home Based Business work in as little as 1 year with the internet? It’s by using a Funded Proposal. You see, one person can only move so much product. The Home Based business work industry has a built-in structure that permits you to build and create a sales team, allowing you to multiply your personal efforts through your network. So instead of profiting from just your sales, you can also receive income from the sales of your entire group (like an insurance or real estate broker can on their agents), depending on the earning structure of the company you’re in business with. So obviously, the bigger the group you create that is producing, the more income you are going to create. That process takes time, therefore you’ll earn more down the road as your team continues to grow.The unfortunate thing is, people have needs and desires now, and don’t want to wait some two to five years to start experiencing serious results from their Home Based Business work. Everyone has been so conditioned with this need to have it now frame of mind that a lot of people will abandon their business before the compounding effect can really set in; before the seedling has a chance to sprout. Some people are so conditioned to receive a regular paycheck from the start that, even as small as that check may be, that is exactly what they need. Not everyone can be an entrepreneur and develop assets like a home based business and create wealth. And that is why the top 1% control the other 99% of the wealth, but I digress…The funded proposal is a solution for the Home Based Business work industry for those with this problem. It basically allows them to begin making good money within their first few weeks and months while the profit from their primary home business builds as well. Basically the funded proposal allows Home Based Business workers to profit on the products they need to build their businesses which their prospects buy in their desire to make money from home (in order to be successful in the industry they need the right tools as well, so why shouldn’t you receive an affiliate commission for referring the product to them?) Just don’t get swept up selling tools to people and get sidetracked.So the right Funded Proposal structure can allow you to create up front cash flow and put you in profit rather soon. And when you combine that with leveraging the results of your team and helping those Home Based Business workers do the same, you’ve got one powerful approach for producing considerable long term income.

In commercial and retail property management, you will come across some landlords that are quite difficult to work with. Over time the relationship between the property manager and the landlord can become quite stressful (even toxic) and impact the processes on the property.

Eventually the landlord will become disgruntled and unsatisfied. In such case, they will soon move their portfolio to another real estate management agency. They could even repeat the process again a few times!

From the very start of a property management appointment it is essential that the relationship between the manager and the landlord be nurtured and encouraged. Essentially the manager has to understand the needs of the landlord, and provide the necessary solutions in a timely way. That being said, it is very hard for a landlord to respect a property manager that is lacking the skills or the knowledge required to do the task successfully.

Make no mistake, the skills and the knowledge required here is specialized, and only the best property managers should be employed for the task. On average, the salaries of commercial and retail managers are more significant than residential managers. That is a reflection on the required knowledge, expertise, and work input required.

At the top of the scale, shopping center managers and the most highly paid in the industry; however they work really hard for it. Managing, marketing, and leasing a shopping center are not easy processes.

If a new or junior property manager is employed in your agency, it is essential that they be given the support of an experienced and talented senior property manager for quite some time.

There are many things for the new junior manager to learn including but not limited to the following:

Lease administration and lease implementation – The interpretation of the lease document can be quite challenging task and requires reasonable intelligence on the part of the property manager when it comes to understanding legal documentation and property management situations. Lease administration also requires special skills when it comes to tenant mix management, tenant analysis, and vacancy management. The income for each property under management should be optimized for the plans of the landlord and the prevailing market conditions.

Tenant management systems and processes will need to be implemented. Some tenants can be extremely challenging and require a lot of ongoing daily management. This is very common when it comes to the management of retail property. If you have a shopping center with many tenants, the tenant management requirements will be very high. Tenant management processes should incorporate good business procedure and attention to detail. Many disagreements can occur as part of the day to day property management activity in any investment property.. The notes of tenant discussions and conversations that you have on a daily basis will always be critical to future evidence requirements. Protect yourself and your conversations through the maintenance of good records. Take plenty of notes. The organized in your business processes.

The reporting and control requirements for each and every landlord will differ. This means that the property manager will need to understand what each landlord expects when it comes to income, expenditure, maintenance, reports, tenant mix, and vacancy management. Some of these factors will have limitations and approval requirements to be referred to the landlord.

Financial activities within the property will vary considerably across the categories of income and expenditure. Optimizing income and managing expenditure is all part of the daily process when it comes to property performance and property optimization. Financial management is reasonably straightforward when it comes to a single tenant in a single property. Providing you understand the terms of the lease, the income and expenditure budgeting process can be easily undertaken for your client as the landlord. It is where you work on complex properties with multiple occupants that the issue becomes far more challenging. In such case, you need to look at the variances of income and expenditure over the entire year, including all the tenancies, and the complex property usage. Attention to detail is required.
Taking all of these things into account, they are the three basic categories of control when it comes to commercial and retail property management.

When all of these activities are correctly implemented and controlled, the respect of the landlord is easy to achieve and maintain. Most landlords just want to know that their portfolio and property are correctly managed within their expectations and investment plan. That is why they call it an agency service.

I am not going to go into any real estate laws in particular as I really want to discuss the importance of having a good lawyer on your team. Every real estate transaction is different and you need someone to protect your interest and help you to navigate threw all the complex terms and clauses.

A good lawyer is key. They can advise you on what repairs need to be disclosed to the buyer. They can also help with the closing and make sure you do not make any careless errors in judgment.

If you ever want to get into investing you will need a great lawyer on your team. I can not tell you the number of times I have had real estate agents tell me you can not do that, only to find out they did not understand the strategy and in a moment of confusion screamed “hit the breaks”. As an investor you have a lot more flexibility and leeway.

Usually the buyer’s lawyer will advise them to get a property inspection. This is going to include the entire property especially your roof and basement. The last thing you want is to sell your house and get sued.

You do not want to be in a scenario where you had your property sold and you purchased another property only to have your original property returned due to contract breaches or litigation issues such as disclosure.

I always tell people do not think of the money the lawyer is costing you, rather think of the potentially millions of dollars they are saving you in litigation.
