Quotes of the Day

Even if you’re sixty years old, your investment duration is about thirty more years. Multiple down years in a row is actually a very normal thing. In the stock market, even ten years is a blip. When viewed through the long-term lens of time, stocks are far less risky than if you judge them through daily, weekly, monthly, annual, or even a single decade’s term. On average, stocks increase in value roughly two out of every three calendar years. That means we have to expect calendar year declines, perhaps even a decade-long decline. But the odds of a decade-long decline drop dramatically when we diversify further and add some bonds. [2022] - Andrew Hallam

The best way to determine market value is by looking at similar homes with similar attributes in the same location. We usually use the last 90 days in our market to determine market value. You can take a look at the price per square foot, a technique often used by investors to determine value, along with the cap rate. As a standard benchmark (and only to give you an idea - this is not firm and also varies depending on what market you're in), having a 10% return on your investment is considered good. You must also look at things such as location, current cash flow, potential cash flow, potential appreciation, and how much needs to be invested into the property. [2021] - Shazia Virani

Use Times New Roman as resume font and 24 point size for your name. Use single spacing between the name and contact information. Apart from cell phone and email, include a link to your LinkedIn profile instead of your address. The point size here should be 11 or 12 and the line is a 3-point line. If you are using Word, use the draw function to draw the line. The word "Summary" is bold, Times New Roman, 14 point and obviously underlined. If it has been five years or longer since you graduated, leave the year of graduation off your resume. [2016] - Dan Quillen

The cost of an uninsurable mortgage can be as much as 25 basis point (0.25%) higher than that of an insurable mortgage, or even higher. I've seen the difference as high as 50 basis points. [2018] - Paul Meredith
