Real Estate Entrepreneurship is the Shape of Things to Come- Why Everyone Will Have to Become an Entrepreneur

People frequently ask me why we started our real estate investing company, Radar Investments, It’s Always On! My reply is always the same. We saw a problem in the real estate industry and we believed that we could provide a solution. Our coaches always told us that the most reward comes to those who solve the biggest problems. Radar Investments was created with the goal of helping people with their distressed property issues.

A recent article by Anna Vital and Alexandr Unak entitled, “Everyone Will Have to Become an Entrepreneur”, http://fundersandfounders.com/everyone-will-have-to-become-an-entrepreneur/, suggest that the businesses and companies are replacing workers with entrepreneurs. Why are these businesses and companies hiring entrepreneurs over the traditional workers? Because entrepreneurs bring certain skill sets to companies that other workers do not. Entrepreneurs understand how to solve problems and create value.

Entrepreneurs learn how to see a problem in a business model or system and they begin to think about solutions to solve a problem. In the real estate business, we saw a problem with the number with the houses that were on the market that people wanted to sell  but could not for one reason or the other. We saw the opportunity to create value for these property owners by helping sell their properties to other buyers outside of the traditional real estate sales model. In this scenario, the seller disposes the unwanted property, the buyer gets a great home to live in or fix up and resell and we get paid for bringing the two parties together.

Using this formula, entrepreneurs like myself, are partly responsible for the housing recovery that is currently taking place all across America. This is a very good thing indeed. If the American economy is to fully recover, entrepreneurs with the ability to solve problems and create value will lead the way.

At our website, www.thebookoninvesting.com, and in our book , The Book on Investing we share with you ideas on how you can use real estate entrepreneurship as a means to survive the new economy. Your plan should consist of investing in real estate, and developing or buying businesses.

Book Launch in London

London: Big Ben at night

We just returned from London where we launched “The Book on Investing” www.thebookoninvesting.com in the U.K. at The Ultimate Author Bootcamp www.theultimateauthorbootcamp.com.

You should have been there! You could have met the many interesting and exciting people in London like we did. Perhaps you would have enjoyed the wonderful sights and sounds of Christmas as you visited the Winter Festival in Hyde Park or shopped on Regent Street or Sloane Square!!!

Have you ever dreamed of visiting London? Perhaps you dream of owning a bigger house or creating wealth for you and your family. I challenge you to dream big and to launch the life that you want live!

Making Your Dreams Come True
Dreams won’t necessarily come true on their own, although you’d be surprised how often clarifying what you want and focusing your thinking on something is enough to make it happen. There will be lots of new things to learn and tasks to be accomplished, so it is important to establish specific goals, with deadlines, and then take the necessary actions to meet or exceed your own expectations.
Perhaps you are one of those people who absolutely hate deadlines. Do they fill you with dread and create a level of anxiety that keeps you from doing anything at all? Not to worry, when set properly a deadline is your friend in that it motivates you to move forward and provide a wonderful, satisfying measure of success.

Our early experience summarizes what we’re talking about perfectly — we had a dream, a plan, and a set of goals. Critically, we continued to take the actions needed. Now, we are fulfilling an entirely new set of big and wonderful dreams.

This process is definitely not as monumental as it sounds. By laying out a plan for yourself and continually setting attainable goals, you can have outstanding success also.

If you are interested in finding out more about a successful goal attaining system that can help you achieve your goals go to our website www.thebookoninvesting.com to get a copy of the book.

The Book On Investing — Federal Government Housing Policy: Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan

A critical part of the Obama Administration’s broad strategy to help the millions of homeowners still struggling to pay their mortgages avoid foreclosure,  stabilize the housing market, and improve the nation’s overall economy is the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan

One part of that plan is the Making Home Affordable program.  This is an official program of the Departments of Treasury & Housing and Urban Development.  The Making Home Affordable program offers a number of mortgage reduction relief programs for individual homeowners.  

If you’re not unemployed, but you’re still struggling to make your mortgage payments, you may be eligible for the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).

If you’re not behind on your mortgage payments but have been unable to get traditional refinancing, you may be eligible to refinance through MHA’s Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)

More information on the Making Home Affordable program can be found at www.makinghomeaffordable.gov    

Each month HUD and the Department of Treasury release the Housing Scorecard-a comprehensive report on the nation’s housing market.  Data in December 2011, released January 9, 2012 show some subtle improvement in the housing market as compared to the same period in 2010.  However the data underscore the fragility of the overall housing market as the outlook for stabilizing the market remains mixed.  Home prices showed a slight dip from the November 2011 and remain below levels from a year ago. 

The Housing Scorecard can be found at www.hud.gov/scorecard.
