Real Estate Investing - Earn Money Without Working For It

There seem to be two types of people in the world?office slaves who very nearly treat work as a religion and who are in danger of neglecting the very families for whom they work so hard to provide; and people who have adopted more of a slacker mentality, convincing themselves that money isn’t important because they don’t want to be slaves to the workaday world.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the Rich Dad book series, has money and he doesn’t agree. ?Anyone who says money isn’t important obviously has not been without it long,? he says in his book ?Cash Flow Quadrant.?
He knows because he has been in both situations. For several weeks in 1985, he and his wife were so destitute, they were actually forced to live in their car, after which they moved into a friend’s basement for nearly a year. They took only odd jobs, because wealth, not job security, was what they were after.
Four years later, they were millionaires.
While money is important, it isn’t important in and of itself, and that is why Kiyosaki and his wife didn’t rush out to look for the ?good? jobs they both could have gotten. It’s important because it provides for your basic needs and, if you have enough of it, it can give you time to be with your loved ones and do the things in life that truly make you happy.
One thing a job will never give you is extra time with loved ones. In fact, it will take away as much of that precious time as you allow it to.
Everyone sees the Catch 22, worrying that if they spend the time working to make enough money to do the things they want to do, they won’t have time to do those things. That is true. Working is not the answer. Making your money work, preferably in a solid investment like real estate, is the answer.
Kiyosaki seen been at that crossroads himself. ?Money is important, but I did not want to spend my life working for it,? he says in his Rich Dad series. Luckily he had the benefit of that rich dad’s knowledge of how the financial world works to see him through.
He knew that there was a way to be a responsible provider for his family without spending most of his waking life working. He knew the secret was become an investor.
When you become an investor, you are simply getting your money from a different place. What you want to do is take the money you get from your job, and put it into the I quadrant. That means that you now have money working for you. Your money is making money and you didn’t have to lift a finger for those extra dollars.
That is how you can have your cake and eat it too?because the money you make no longer represents hours of your life spent away in pursuit of a living, you can take those hours and reinvest them in spending actual time with your family, in pursuing hobbies, hanging out with friends. In short, you can reinvest them in your life.

Some Important Points To Know About Real Estate Investing: Contract Clauses
September 18, 2010 by Kenny Santos
Filed under Real Estate Investing
Real estate investing: contract clauses’ is an important topic to learn for real estate investors, because if you do not know the essentials of the clauses then your contract will not produce desirable results when presented before a listed broker. This is why what you learn from home study course is not very useful because it teaches you seminar type of drafting. Instead, real estate brokers like use of standard agreement because it is more in the favor of brokers rather than you. However, here you need to use your skills to change the standard format of agreement so that you are not at the disadvantage.
For the property buyers, here is some important real estate investing: contract clauses.
?And/or Nominees? or ?And/or Assigns?:
If you put the word “And/or assigns” with your name, you will get the right of assigning your contract, which as a buyer you would always wish to have. However, the word “And/or nominees” is not as wide, yet it allows you to assign the title to any trust. One important point to remember here is that the real estate investing: contract clauses must not have any anti assignment provision. If there is any such clause, then you must cross it out.
Inspection Clause:
You must make it sure that you can perform a thorough inspection before a stipulated date and no professional inspector is needed for the purpose. If after inspection you find that the things are not in shape and the seller is neither interested in fixing problems nor he is ready for price reduction, then you should have the liberty of canceling the contract.
Right to Extend:
Most of the real estate investing: contract clauses have a definite date for closing. Any delay can make you defaulter. To avoid this kind of situation add clauses like “on or about June 1st”. Nobody is sure about its meaning. However, one thing is sure that it gives you a little extra time. Alternatively, you can include an extension clause for 30 days by paying mortgage amount of one month to the seller.
Qualification of Buyer:
If you do not want to waste your time, then never believe in the claims made by the buyer regarding loan qualifications. It will be your biggest mistake in real estate investing: contract clauses, if you tie up the property with any unqualified buyer. Instead, you yourself must possess all relevant information regarding loans so that you infer whether the buyer will qualify or not. Mention specifically in the contract clauses that the seller can terminate the contract if buyer is unable to produce the required documents within 48 or 72 hours.
