ebusiness: Investment Properties Best Bought Without Emotion - 04/20/11 11:40 AM
According to a recent study on investor timing when it comes to buying and selling assets, we suggest you open a can of Mr. Spock on your strategy. Remember Mr. Spock? The half-human, half-vulcan first officer aboard the original Star Trek television series starring that guy in the Priceline ads before he became a caricature and national treasure? According to the New York Times, Philip Z. Maymin, of the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, studied call records at an investment boutique over the course of 17 years.
His finding was that, left to their own devices, most investors can pinpoint … (0 comments)

ebusiness: Why the Stock Market Can Be Dangerous in the Current Environment - 01/13/11 02:02 PM
Conventional wisdom has long held that the way to become wealthy over the long-term is by compounded investment in the stock market. The reason for this was quite clear when one looked at the chart of historical returns. By making very modest investments at regular intervals over a long period of time, small investors could create very large amounts of wealth. This line of thinking is what has prompted most employers to source their 401k retirement plans with mutual funds that invest in the stock market.
Unfortunately, the movement of stock market investment into the ‘main stream’ of America has … (0 comments)

ebusiness: BP Oil Spill Endangering Gulf Property Investments? - 12/01/10 02:36 PM
Income property owners in Gulf Coast states have been worried (rightly so) about the value of their investments, a concern which began in April of this year when a BP rented oil rig blew up, killing 11 workers and rupturing an oil well one mile below the surface of the ocean.
As was expected, the foaming-at-the-mouth mainstream media developed an immediate obsession with the prospect of catastrophic environmental damage, little of which has come to pass. The dramatic drop in beach town tourism and the subsequent financial reaming of Gulf Coast business owners can be directly attributed to media hysteria. … (3 comments)

ebusiness: Rising Rents for Tenants = Passive Income for Landlords - 11/19/10 03:12 PM
If you don’t have a passing familiarity with the phrase “passive income,” let’s remedy that. Passive income can be described as money you receive without trading it straight across for time spent working. A good example would be dividends paid on stock owned. A better example, and the one we’re talking about here, is property that you own and rent out, such as apartments, condos, duplexes, and – our personal favorite – single family residential homes.
As a landlord, we like it when more people rent, right? Correct! Additional people clamoring for rental properties falls neatly within the scope of the … (9 comments)

ebusiness: A different type of internet marketing - 10/04/10 02:43 PM
For whatever reasons, you might not be all that excited about selling information products online. Perhaps you want to be able to see, touch, and feel a real world product. Once again – okay. The obvious advantage to internet marketing information products is there are no shipping costs. Everything is digitally delivered. We’re big fans of this business model but there’s no doubt that lots of people have made (and are still making) boatloads of money selling actual products.
The “big secret” is locating a cheap source for your product.
What may be the biggest secret in the internet marketing world … (2 comments)

ebusiness: Time to refinance your investment properties? - 09/23/10 01:31 PM
Refinancing is not just for homeowners. If you have a portfolio of investment properties, you might be leaving money on the table if you don’t investigate the options. At the heart of the matter, an investor refinances a portfolio of properties for the same reason a home owner would his house – to save money.
Maybe when you took out that investment mortgage your credit wasn’t great and neither was the interest rate you ended up with. As time goes by, you get used to paying it and may be under the impression that fooling with a refinance isn’t worth … (0 comments)

ebusiness: A letter Addressed to Rush Limbaugh - 09/01/10 12:25 PM
Dear Rush,
We’ve been listening to your show for a while now and are beginning to pick up on a subtle vibe that maybe you don’t completely trust the Obama in Chief with the direction of the country. Not sure if you realize it but spitting in the faces of our Founding Fathers is not even the worst of it.
Have you looked at your portfolio lately?
As a born and raised Missourian from the Show Me state, we’re sure you pay close attention to the direction of your portfolio, which probably feels like a shot put dropped on your foot … (8 comments)

ebusiness: How to Spot a Blogging Scam a Mile Away - 08/13/10 07:15 PM
If you’ve spent more than ten seconds online in the past five years, you’ve probably noticed an internet marketing strategy we’ll call the “blogging scam.” It’s basically a translation of direct marketing tactics to the internet, where the hard copy sales letter is replaced by a one page website with the sole purpose of getting you to buy an electronic product, often an ebook, or sign up for a mailing list, where you can be marketed to over and over.
Nothing illegal or heinous about it except that there are so many people out there pushing information of dubious quality. If … (1 comments)

ebusiness: Like Junk Bonds, Only Better - 08/03/10 01:48 PM
The great part about junk bonds is you can make an incredible return on your investment. The rest of the story is there is a high risk of default. Is it possible to earn junk bond level returns without the accompanying risk?
We thought you’d never ask. Of course there is! It’s called income property and if you are serious about achieving financial independence, we’ve never seen anything like it. Here’s another example from the eternally robust (for investors) Indianapolis real estate market.
We’re talking about an 1,800 square foot property built in 2000. Yes, it needs some rehab … (0 comments)

While running my successful real estate and media businesses, I (Jason Hartman) believe that giving back to the community plays an important role in building strong personal relationships. In addition to my real estate investing company (Platinum Properties Investor Network - www.JasonHartman.com), I established The Jason Hartman Foundation in 2005 with $200,000 of my own money to provide financial literacy education to young adults so they can utilize the all important real world skills not taught in school which are the key to the financial stability and success of future generations. We’re in a global monetary crisis caused by decades of misguided policies and the cycle of financial dependence has to be broken, literacy and self-reliance are a good start. I am here to help!
