Quotes of the Day

In real estate, many investors love triple net leases (NNN). With NNNs investors receive income without the expenses of taxes, repairs, and insurances. The tenant covers those costs. The trouble is finding a good property with a good tenant willing to pay a high return. Today, most properties are only paying about a 5 percent to 6 percent return. Not that exciting. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Be prepared to give your mentors something in return; even if it's something simple such as keeping them updated on industry information or calling with new opportunities that might benefit them. [2005] - Jack Canfield

The key is to find a market where rents are sufficiently strong while at the same time having a low-enough purchase price. There is a sweet spot to be found in the outlying areas of most major centres. Keep in mind though that outlying areas tend to have less diversified economic bases than major cities, so while the cash flow may be greater, it may not be as stable. You would be very hard pressed to find a property with such strong cash flows in major cities, but you can still find positive cash flow. Finding great cash-flowing deals can take a bit of time. You have to do the research and be patient for the right deal, and you will need a few connections, but it can be done. Working with a world-class real estate agent makes searching and negotiating far easier. [2017] - Calum Ross

Women want sex as much as-if not more than-men; they just don't want to be pressured, lied to, or made to feel like a slut. [2005] - Neil Strauss

When you want to invest in precious metals as a hedge against inflation, your best option is to do so through mutual funds or ETFs. Don't purchase precious-metal futures (they are short-term gambles). We also recommend staying away from firms and shops that sell coins and bullion (bars of gold or silver). Even if you can find a legitimate firm (not an easy task), the cost of storing and insuring gold and silver is quite costly. You won't get good value for your money - markups can be substantial. [2019] - Eric Tyson
