Which Birdie Has Your Husband Got His Eye on - On the GOLF COURSE

Posted in University of Sports on May 22nd, 2008

Why is it that women/wives etc intend not to take much interest
in their spouse’s past time of playing golf. How many ladies
have sat back and denied themselves a game due to the fact that
they feel that this game is not for them?

Don’t knock it till you try it there are great many women who
enjoy swinging a golf stick on the green but sadly the female
species consider retirement age is the best time to take up this
sport. How wrong they are.

This is a game that provides the young and old with a mixture of
emotions, happiness/contentment/peace/tranquillity and at the
same time a guaranteed feeling of satisfaction. Men and women
who love the game to an extent where they reach a certain level
love the fact that they are now in a position to qualify and
play in tournaments.

Having confidence on the green is a great start for any novice.
Learners can become paranoid where they experience a bout of
nerves believing other golfers are there to poke fun. Believe me
other avid enthusiasts on the golf course are to busy setting
there sights on a hole in one and can not afford to be
distracted by the next up and coming Tiger Woods or Mrs Woods

Women starting out will benefit by visiting the local driving
range to brush up hitting the ball. Why you ask? Simple, it is
not as easy as it looks therefore adding more fun to the game
for beginners. This Sport is enjoyed by millions worldwide so
why not add you’re self to the list. The next time your
husband/partner invites you to join him in a game/round of golf
go for it.

Ladies ever felt something is missing in your life, do you have
regrets of never snatching opportunities that passed you by.
Ever had the feeling what your life was all about. Well let me
tell you life is about fulfilment and achievement. Depending on
the individual the answer to your wish list of finding happiness
may well just lie on a golf course.

Terms used in a game of golf relate to the names of our
feathered friends Like Birdie an Eagle. Well let us kill two
birds with one stone. Number one you get to play golf and
secondly the most important is the quality time you get to spend
with your spouse/partner.

And fingers crossed that the husband can keep his concentration
on the birds that give him points not the chick he would most
love to score with.

An Interview on History and Educational Media

Posted in Education Special on May 22nd, 2008

1. Can you briefly summarize why you think history is a weapon of war against people?

Briefly?, not really, except to say Sun Tzu wasn’t the first to notice that propaganda was the first and most important part of conquest. Caesars won more through secret deals and blackmailing the likes of Herod and the Sanhedrin than they ever did through force of arms. We saw how guerillas work against a conqueror in Vietnam and even in Iraq at the present. I have written about fifty books. The framework for a new history that is based on forensics and science or artifacts rather than priestly power-mongers is now available.

2. But surely there are many who have written a truer history since the end of the Dark Ages?

Yes, but the destruction of libraries and the records of supposed beliefs in things like the Flat Earth or Kelts being ‘barbarians’ is still a part of current scholarship because people quote Caesar’s Journals that were actually written by Hirtius or other propaganda as if these reports are actual fair reportage to some extent as they say that is all we have. Michael Parenti and others like Howard Zinn of Harvard who have often been drummed out of Universities do tell a little of what I consider is true history. There has been some earlier authors quoted in the works of Herodotus and others once considered fiction but now being supported by actual artifacts.

3. What about when war is not going on? We still get the same history don’t we?

I love how Joseph Campbell described the SPIN which occurred at the start of WWII in his address called ‘Permanent Human Values’ to the women he taught at Sarah Lawrence University. It ended up getting him branded as a Nazi by some truly sadistic government mouthpieces in the media. In any event we have always been preparing for or engaged in war as I see it.

4. I recall having read that address, it was magnificent and should be required reading for everyone and covered before every movement of government towards more conflict. But surely you aren’t saying that all history is a lie, are you? Campbell didn’t go that far.

No, of course not. There are always lots of facts presented along with dates and data that can boggle the mind of a good statistician. Mark Twain knew a lot about ‘lies, damn lies and statistics’ though.

5. Yes, and we recently saw how the standard operating procedure of passing the buck or Hide the Ball worked on the cover-up of the real reason we invaded Iraq and all that weapons of mass destruction - didn’t we? But let’s get into the Great Pyramid which you write volumes about. You make the point that the ‘fit’ of the rocks or blocks can’t be explained by the scholars who say Egyptians built it as some sort of make-work program now that the slaves fiction has been thoroughly disproven due to artifacts. In fact you have built a rather intricate charge of a conspiracy to destroy and lie about these things to the point of blaming WGBH and the video called ‘This Old Pyramid’. Can you substantiate these charges for my listeners?

I do, but it isn’t done in a sound byte. Let me say this though. I saw a letter from David Suzuki of ‘The Nature of Things’ in response to formal factual presentations from Davidovits and Morris about how they used modern equipment with forklift trucks and hardened steel tools to make that puny Pyramid which they didn’t even have the guts to admit shifted in the sand. He noted he had not been given the footage or facts that showed these things. And when it comes to Hawass and his trotting out weird alien theories or theorists as if that proves he is open to alternatives - THAT is pure SPIN!

6. I found the part where Archaeology Magazine was printing articles saying the Sphinx and Pyramids were mere imitations of natural landforms a little bizarre. But that poured in place theory of Davidovits which you support doesn’t explain the ‘fit’ of the sarcophagus or the obelisks found in their quarries.

I support that as just one of the technologies they used and you are right it cannot explain a 1/150th inch tolerance in the lidless sarcophagus that never had any human remains in it. In fact no Giza Pyramid had any funerary purpose and no remains of humans have been found in them. The American Research Center in Egypt did use AMS accelerators to date biologics found inside the Pyramid in some places. These biologics like straw showed the Great Pyramid is 450 years older than the Step Pyramid which Egyptology says was built before the Great Pyramid.

7. Ok, I guess we can’t cover all the other possible technologies that you and the likes of Christopher Dunn have shown could have been used. You really do have a passionate stance on the matter of Hawass and the likes of Cayce the Masonic agent and his Foundation which paid to educate Hawass and Lehner though.

I surely do have issues with liars and the Bible Narrative which ultimately justifies Manifest Destiny and blames G-d or attributes things to aliens when man is responsible for all these things. National Geographic and other Egyptologists outside that cabal have provided me with lots of good reading and I share these perspectives with my readers.

8. But you carry on about Kelts and Phoenicians to the point that it is almost impossible to imagine they really were all over the earth with the Red-headed League of Megalith Builders making the hundreds of Pyramids. And some of the uses of the Earth Energy Grid they are built to enhance which are located or aligned with; are really TOO fantastic to accept for someone who has not studied all the sources you quote.

I know that, believe me. There are no simple or true black and white answers that you can answer tests with in order to get a better grade. There are lots of good questions and I think those questions lead to us challenging the current leadership about why we aren’t using free energy or Tesla Technology and many other things don’t you? As to Plato and the Atlantis fiction I now have genetics to support this real history. It shows white man was in the Americas as soon as he arrived in Europe and he may even have come to Northwest Europe from the Americas; before he arrived in Central Europe and Iberia or Spain. That was 30,000 years ago just shortly after the first white men (Kelts of the Caucasus) arrived in Casiberia.

9. Yes, I do see the corporate entities and names or other linguistic proofs of older scholars are soundly backed by genetics and the forensics like the cocaine from Peru in Egyptian mummies. But I am sure most people will have a hard time swallowing that their teachers have been so disingenuous.

My first wife and lifelong significant other is a teacher-leader and activist of some standing. I totally understand the difficulties they face. Kaoru Yamamoto does a good exposé on the testing industry and the lack of teaching thinking or a Joy of Learning in the Kuiper’s Social Science Encyclopedia or other articles he has written. Alfred North Whitehead gave an address at Harvard in about the same time Campbell was talking in New York to the ladies of Sarah Lawrence. He makes a good case for the kind of real education that should have been occurring as do many others since him. How can a teacher pierce the veils of propaganda and all the lies as well as baby-sit kids whose parents were never taught to teach in the first place? Is there anything more important to the future of humanity than breaking this Cycle of Violence where parents are allowed to train more deviates and dump all the same issues from generation to generation, as the system grinds down all individuality and aborts the soul?

10. Hey, I am the interviewer. I see what you mean but getting back to my question - why should we believe your history rather than the one we have been taught?

I ask people to consider the facts and do their own research or checking. I have the quotes from the sciences and data in the archaeological record which supports cell diffusion history - don’t I? Most reviews from readers certainly suggest that Diverse Druids was a major impact on their view of history.

11. You say that the builders of the Great Pyramid or ‘arch-tectons’ as the Septuagint calls the family of Jesus are still connected or part of what forces really govern us today. Yet you also seem very amenable to the true teaching of Jesus. Do you really think the Merovingians and Stuart or Hesse/Battenbergs are related to the Rothschilds?

It is funny how people have no difficulty with connecting the Hapsburgs with the De Medicis and Borgia but the Rothschilds are supposed to be different and were merely good financial types. Yes, I am certain the Rothschilds were passed the whole spy network and monopoly through the adopted son of the De Medicis that goes by the name St. Germain. This monopoly that the Templars once had, included secrets of esoterics and trade in the era of Solomon or Joseph of Arimathaea and probably before Melchizedek.

12. You must get a lot of people calling you a conspiracy theorist. Your assertions leads to a person having to think their whole history has been a mere puppet show and all the wars were arranged to de-populate and keep people busy rather than finding out what really is going on.

It is highly complex and yet well-orchestrated. The last 150 years have actually been worse than any other time in history when it comes to wars and what the noted journal The Economist says is ‘inhumane bureaucracy’, which they call ‘a Napoleonic legacy’. His ‘vision’ and reason for going to the Great Pyramid should be made into a movie.

13. But he never told people what he saw and you are just speculating, aren’t you?

Yes, but he was terrified and there are others who have been similarly impacted by some constructs they saw. If you read my book Hitler vs. Frabato and ‘The Charm of Making’ I think you might agree my insight or speculation has some validity.

Discover Why Ion-Exchange Whey Protein is Your Best Bet for Building Lean Muscle Mass Quickly

Posted in Home Training Fitness on May 22nd, 2008

What is Whey Protein?

There are several kinds of protein supplements available: milk and egg protein, soy, beef, and even vegetable protein; but the absolutely best source of protein is ion-exchange whey protein. This protein has superior biological value (which means it may yield more usable grams of protein than other protein supplements), plus it is very low in lactose (the substance in milk that causes a lot of stomach upset and gas in individuals).

There are two main ingredients in milk protein, they are casein and whey. Whey is produced mostly from the production of cheese. Milk is treated to cause a shift in pH and the casein coagulates and separates, and raw whey is left un-curded on top of the casein. It’s then collected and undergoes various processing steps. These processing steps are what determines the quality of the whey protein end product.

During the processing, fat and lactose are filtered out to make a lower fat, lower carbohydrate, and higher concentrated protein powder. The protein content can range from 35% to 95% whey protein. Obviously, the higher the protein concentration, the more processing (filtering) is needed which adds to the cost. Generally, when the protein level reaches >90% concentration, it’s considered WPI (whey protein isolate).

“Advanced Whey Protein Is WPI Protein”
What is Ion Exchange Protein?

With all of the different terms associated with protein supplements, it’s not difficult to understand why we get confused. When talking about whey proteins, for example, the term ion exchange is common, but what does it really mean? Ion exchange is one method used to produce protein supplements. This is a process that separates proteins on the basis of their electrical charge. Various solvents are used to create an attractive charge on the proteins, which causes them to migrate toward oppositely charged resin beads in the reaction vessel. The protein can then be removed from the resin beads by reversing the charge to result in a “highly purified” whey protein isolate (WPI).

“Advanced Whey Protein Is Ion Exchange Protein”
What is Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides (HWP)?

Hydrolyzed whey peptides (HWP) are arguably the best - at least in terms of bioavailability - whey proteins that money can buy. HWPs are short chains of amino acids produced by strategically digesting (with enzymes) various bonds in whole whey proteins. Preliminary research suggests that HWPs are more easily absorbed (and properly utilized) than any other protein that we know of. Unfortunately, HWPs have an extremely bitter taste, so they can only be used in conjunction with other proteins and added in relatively small amounts.

“Advanced Whey Protein Is HWP Protein”
To provide for the best possible protein supplement, we have developed Advanced Whey Protein in 4 delicious flavors. Advanced Whey Protein is produced from hydrolyzed whey protein (producing di-, tri-, oligo-, and polypeptides) from specially-filtered (micro and ultra-filtered) and ion-exchange whey protein concentrate. This unique processing results in the highest quality protein that mixes instantly with a spoon, making it quick and easy to add extra protein to your daily food intake.

“Advanced Whey Protein Is Best Value Protein”
Why is Whey Protein Your Best Choice?

Is made from the highest biological value protein in the world.
Dissolves instantly in water, milk, or other liquid beverages. No lumpy protein in the bottom of your container.
Contains 20 grams of protein and 0.5 grams of L-Glutamine per 30 gram scoop.

Products are available in four great tasting flavors: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana. You won’t be able to find a better tasting protein powder drink on the market today.

When you are implementing a weight loss regimen, how do you know which product is right for you? If you are looking to keep your carbohydrates, and fat low, you probably should consider a whey protein drink along with a good daily vitamin. Veriuni’s Advanced Whey Protein supplies the necessary building blocks for your muscles to maintain size and strength, while providing 0.5g of Glutamine per serving, but only containing 3g of carbohydrates and less than 1g of fat!

If you want an excellent meal replacement drink that includes all the necessary vitamins and minerals in one without having to add extras, Veriuni’s Advanced Weight Loss meal replacement is for you! Plus, you get a great tasting drink to assist you in achieving your weight loss goal.

If you are looking for added insurance that your daily needs for protein are met order Advanced Whey Protein today. It is your best choice.

Useful Information that can be Used by Anyone

Posted in Entrepreneurs on May 21st, 2008

Over 18 months I spent close to $10,000 US on ebooks, internet
marketing courses, training materials, web hosting, domain
forwarding, autoresponders, AD trackers, advertising costs -
traffic exchanges, exit exchanges, search engines, pay-per-click
programs, ezines - subscription fees, randomizers & doublers!

I also lost money when a few programs that I was involved with
went under, including a payment processing company called
EzPayWay which disappeared owing me over $1400 in commissions.

All the money that I did make online was ploughed back into yet
more programs & yet more opportunities. It was a vicious circle
& I ended up getting deeper & deeper into debt. I was just
fortunate that I had a good JOB to fall back on.

At the end of those 18 months I took a break from everything to
do with online businesses. I dropped my internet marketing
‘escapades’ & focused on other ares in my life that I had been
neglecting - like my health & my relationships with my wife &
other members of my family.

After 6 months of mental & physical recuperation getting myself
back on track, I decided to give it one last try …

I got in touch with several of my key contacts & asked them what
they were up to, what programs they were promoting & what they
were making money with on the ‘Net.

However, when I resumed my internet activities I changed a
number of things in my approach:

1. Maintain FOCUS

You know, there’s always going to be a newer program, a better
compensation plan, a more professional website. I was no longer
going to run around promoting every single opportunity that came
my way.

I was going to pick FOUR or FIVE of the best opportunities
available & only promote established companies that were highly
recommended & highly profitable.

2. Promote businesses in line with my PERSONAL INTERESTS

My interests include Internet Marketing & Personal-Development.

Surprisingly, one of the first companies that I ended up
selecting for my come-back, was a company that I had promoted
back in my early days, which involved both of my interests
(Smile)

The company is called EMPOWERISM & they specialise in Internet
Marketing Training & Success Montoring. They’ve helped me
immensely with my own internet marketing efforts.

3. Take MASSIVE ACTION

The ‘Net is like a large powerful & never-ending ocean. My
previous efforts had been merely little pebbles tossed into deep
waters. They had no effect what-so-ever in the great scheme of
things. To get results on the ‘Net your website needs a great
amount of exposure amongst the Millions of other websites &
programs.

There are several ways of driving lots of TRAFFIC to your
websites like:

* Traffic Exchanges

* Getting listed in Search Engines

* Pay-Per-Click Advertising

* Banner Exchanges

* Emailing OPT-IN lists

* Marketing To Qualified Leads

* Ezine Advertising

You’ll need to learn about all of these different ways of
generating traffic to your website.

Personally, I advertise my website using all of the methods
above. However, instead of trying to build up downlines in free
programs, I PAY for the TRAFFIC that I require to promote my
business opportunities.

Which brings me nicely on to my next point …

4. Diligent TRACKING of the the effectiveness of my advertising.

Previously I was literally throwing money down the drain by NOT
carefully tracking the different types of advertising I was
spending my money on.

When I did get sign-ups to programs or sales in affiliate
programs I was none the wiser as to where these sales came from
& unable to clearly identify which mode of advertising was
attributable for the sales.

I was like a sniper firing away in all directions without a
scope to home in on my targets !!

5. Lastly, I added the HUMAN ELEMENT to my business

A lot of business might be conducted on the internet, but the
internet is merely a tool. The buying & selling of products,
especially in network marketing, involves the personal
recommendation of services from one party to the next.

This personal element had been missing from my business all
along.

I had been emailing 1000s of FFA leads per day (BIG DOGS style),
sending out emails to loads of Safelists, sending emails to
1000s of MLM Leads using autoresponders, but NOT ONCE over the
course of 18 months did I actually SPEAK to anyone.

Sure, I made a few sales but they were far & few between. I also
came close to trouble a few times as a result of SPAM complaints
(I’ll save that story for another time but it was the last time
I used FFA leads !!).

Nowdays, I call up my prospects & try to establish a rapport
with them. I find out what they want out of life, what their
interests are & if I can help them. I tell them about my
experiences, what I’ve learnt trying to market various products
online, how I’m a better internet marketer now than ever before
by doing what I’m telling you now.

And you know what??

I enjoy waking up in the mornings, I make new friends everyday,
I call up interested prospects, I find out what they want, I
help them get what they want, & now I get PAID all the time!

The TELEPHONE is as much a tool for Internet Marketers than the
‘Net itself.

So there you have it !!

A simple internet marketing strategy that have served me well on
my return to Cyberspace.

I hope that you find a few things here to help you improve your
internet marketing strategy & ultimately, take you that one step
closer to financial freedom.

If you would like to go one step better then you can join this
fantastic opportunity at empowerism and I will personally train
you to do everything mentioned above and more.

Communication Mix-Up

Posted in Management + More on May 20th, 2008

My friend Delia is the owner of a small private school. This spring her school is experiencing the crunch of reduced enrollment for next September and all staff have been asked to take a six percent salary decrease. One staff member, much to Delia’s horror, outright refused and resigned her teaching position at the school. Delia pleaded with her, telling her how valuable a teacher she was, how parents had come to count on her expertise, and essentially how the school couldn’t operate without her. The next day she had reconsidered resigning her teaching position, saying that it was because of what Delia had said regarding how valuable she was to the school.

Delia was flabbergasted! She thought that she had pampered her staff throughout the school year, giving them manicures, their birthday off, flowers or wine regularly, and dinners out. Did this staff member not see all of these treats as being rewards for her contribution to the success of the school? Guess not!

We take in and store information using the following three main representational systems:

Visual - seeing

Auditory - hearing
Kinesthetic - feeling/touching/moving

We receive our information from the outside world in primarily pictures, sounds and feelings. We tend to have a dominant preference; we either prefer to receive our information from the world in one of three ways:

1. Visually, either externally or internally in our ‘minds eye’ as an image

2. From something we hear, either externally or from our inner voice

3. Kinesthetically, from touch or feelings

Even though we experience the world using all three representational systems, we generally favor one, use another as a secondary preference, and the third usually trails far behind.

To quote Paul Newman, in the movie Cool Hand Luke, “What we have here is a failure to communicate”. This failure to communicate has been created by crossing ‘representational systems’. The teacher in question receives her information in an auditory manner. Delia, on the other hand, receives her information visually, or ’show me,’ ‘give me things,’ ‘let me see you do something’. Delia has been ’showing’ her staff how valuable they are, where this staff member needed to ‘hear’ it.

When you can figure out other people’s representational systems or what sense they prefer to use when taking in information, you can communicate on their wavelength and enter their model of the world. The result is - presto, fewer communication mix-ups and instant rapport.

Effective Radio Station Liners and Promo Writing for Today’s Market

Posted in Public Relations on May 20th, 2008

Look around and what do you see? Ipods®, mini Ipods®, Cell
Phones, Satellite radio, Internet radio and Tivo®. Excited about
being in the radio industry today? Since I first entered the
world of radio in 1976 I have seen the landscape change, but few
stations have changed with the times. The one noticeable lack of
change has been in the liner department. The same plan of attack
as always. Find a voice, have them cut a few lines every week
for freshness and that’s it. Creativity is relegated to the
program director (PD) who has enough work for two people. Most
PD’s have had their creative juices squeezed out of them with
meeting after meeting. You need a creative force on your side. A
member of your team that is not in the daily grind, but on the
outside looking in with an objective view.

Scott Radio (www.scottradio.com) has over twenty years of radio
experience, a fresh approach and voice that will help your
station beat not only the other forces on the dial, but all the
other options available to the consumer. The market share will
continue to decline as newer video games, better ipod® devices
and technology yet realized find their way into our reality. Are
you positioned for this battle?

Promos, liners and sweepers are not something you write because
they are funny or creative, they are written because they fit
the “big picture” concept of the station. Just like the music
must have a “feel” so must the liners and other elements. So
often the “feel” part of the process is determined by the voice.
Scott Radio knows it is much more.

Spend Wisely When Buying Golf Equipment

Posted in Lifestyle Infos on May 20th, 2008

How do you know how much golf equipment you are intent to spend
your money on? What kind and type should you purchase? To make
it easier for you to know which is which, the following are some
questions and tips you should ask yourself and could keep in
mind as well when you are shopping for your first set of golf
clubs, golf balls, etc.

Why are you playing golf?

Look deep inside you and find out.

Is it because you want to play at least twice a year with your
business partners and you do not want to feel left out among
their circle? Or is it because you are sincerely and devotedly
interested enough to learn and play it for as long as you get
the chance? Of all games that are available out there, why in
the world did you decide to choose golf? Only you know the
answer to that.

It is impractical to buy a new set of golf clubs and to spend
too much time and money selecting the best kind if you only will
get to use it once or twice a year. Buying what suits you makes
your shopping easier, plus you get to save money buying what
applies most to your unique preferences. Be realistic about your
wants and your needs. By being able to identify your goals
before you actually go out there to shop, you make it easier for
yourself to select the kind of equipment you should buy.

How dedicated are you to playing golf?

Just how much effort are you going to put in playing golf? Okay,
so you are willing to spend for your golf equipment. The next
question is how much do you plan to practice? For how long? Are
you planning to take golf lessons?

Basically, the bottom line is: how dedicated are you? If your
answer is an ambiguous “not much”, it is probably best that you
buy the kind of clubs that are less costly. But if your answer
is a resounding “yes”, and that you are so willing to spend the
necessary time and effort to better your golf playing, it would
not be a bad idea if you settle for the type of golf equipment
that costs a bit higher than the regular ones.

New or used golf equipment?

If in the past you are used to engage in a new hobby and then a
few weeks, months or years later decide to drop it like a bad
habit, then the chances of your dedication to the game of golf
may just as well be that - a passing fancy. It is best therefore
to buy equipment that is slightly used. They are a lot cheap
ones compared to the new ones but is probably just as effective.
If in case you do decide to take up golf seriously, you could
always have the equipment replaced with a new one, or if you are
to drop the game altogether, you can always give them to others
who may need it or sell it.

Recognize your options on golf shafts

To any one who is just beginning to play golf, it is important
that he or she pay attention to golf shafts. The composition of
the golf shaft - either it is steel or graphite - and the flex
of the shaft - how much the shaft bends when swung.

Since graphite is easier on the swing and is a lot softer to
flex, people who prefer to use these are women and senior
citizens. However, men who are younger and a lot stronger tend
to lean towards the regular and stiff shafts.

Compared to steel, graphite is a lot light and could help create
a quicker swing speed. Meanwhile, steel is a lot more durable
and a lot cheaper compared to graphite.

Know the club of your choice

Golfers who are just beginning to learn the tricks of the trade
need to select golf clubs that lean towards those catered to
higher-handicappers. A good golf swing is priceless. It is best
that you choose irons that weighed in perimeter and backed by
cavity.

Try looking at those sets of hybrid. This is where the irons are
long (usually 4- or 3- or 5-) and are usually substituted by
utility clubs. Shop around the corner, ask around

It would not hurt if you ask any of your friends, co-workers,
relatives who are into golf about the do’s and do not’s of
purchasing golf equipment. It is best that you try asking their
opinion and recommendations on the kinds of golf equipment you
can buy.

Or you could casually walk into a sports shop and ask advice
from there. You could also ask your neighbor who maybe into golf
also. They may have ideas for a new golfer like you. It is a
very efficient and practical way to gather ideas.

How to Get Cheap Home Loans with a Bad Credit

Posted in Internet Real Estate Resources on May 20th, 2008

It’s been years since you made any major improvements to your home and it’s about time. Your spouse and children are also urging you to give the house a facelift. So, what do you do? Dip into your savings? Great! But that’s only if you’ve enough stashed away in there. Go in for a regular loan? But you can’t, because you’ve a bad credit history, a difficult to prove income and just no down payment capability. And besides, regular loans are only meant for house construction and not for renovations. So what’re you to do?

Those with bad credit understand how difficult it can be to try and get a loan for buying a home or refinancing an existing home mortgage loan. Although, most loan companies may tell you that if they can’t help you, no one can, that is simply not true. People with adverse credit history may need to put in a little more effort to search out the right home loan, especially with a decent interest rate. Every mortgage loan company varies in its offer for a home loan. A program that is impossible for one company can be very much possible for another. Some mortgage loan companies specialize in home loans for people with less than perfect credit and have more lenient qualifications than others. The key to getting approved for a loan with poor or bad credit is persistence!

Defining home loans

Home loans are not much different from the average loans extended by mortgage loan companies. They’ve interest rates, points and fees. They can be compared online, and they’ve seasonal trends. The only real difference is that, as a borrower with a less than stellar credit record, you may have to pay a slightly higher rate for this loan to negate the mortgage loan company’s increased risk.

Some home loans are specifically designed to help you fund essential home improvement projects. By encouraging you to make improvements to your home, the mortgage loan company helps increase the market value of your property. But, how does a mortgage loan company stand to gain by extending such a loan? Simple, it makes money through additional interest that you pay for this loan.

Thus, it is important to prepare yourself with information about home loans and compare the offers of various mortgage loan companies to make sure you get the best deal.

Advantages of mortgage loan companies

There are a few things you need to know about mortgage loan companies. These companies specialize in providing home loans for people like you, who are in less than ideal situations. For this, a mortgage loan company takes risks that the average bank refuses, namely offering home loans to people with bad credit. If you have bad credit or declared bankruptcy, a mortgage loan company takes a big risk by extending this loan. People with bad credit are seven times more likely to default on loans. As a result, these companies make up for this risk by levying higher interest rates and fees and also ensure they make a profit. But the end result is that you get the loan, which you may not have raised from other avenues. However, the smart thing to do is to cast your net wide while short-listing such mortgage loan companies.

Searching the best mortgage loan companies

It’s important to remember that just because you’ve bad credit, doesn’t mean you should accept the first home loan offer that comes your way. Interest rates and fees on a home loan vary from one company to the other, so it pays to shop. The best way to compare a home loan is to go online. While comparing, remember to enter the same information for each mortgage loan company, since different loan amounts, down payments and income levels affect the rates. This also helps to get a quote for the same risk level.

If you’re planning to purchase a home for the first time or refinance an existing mortgage despite an adverse credit history, you may do well to compare the offers of the various mortgage loan companies before you accept a home loan offer. Certain companies specialize in offering home loans to people who have a high-risk credit history in return for charging higher rates and fees. How much is charged on these loans varies and offers can be quite competitive. Therefore, it is best to compare the rates.

There are several ways by which you can discern which home loan will suit your purpose. A few pointers are:

Check online: Web sites of mortgage loan companies offer a convenient way to gather home loan quotes. Since mortgage loan companies are in competition with each other, they offer their best quotes. In addition, they also extend facilities like online applications and the like. So, spend some time on the net to get the best quotes, it would be time well spent.

Compare rates: The interest rates charged by a mortgage loan company on a home loan are bound to be higher than any other type of home loan, where credit, income and down payment are all optimal. And they can vary greatly. There’re some mortgage loan companies that, for the same set of qualifications, offer an interest rate of 7 percent, which is a bit over the bar, and then there are others who may quote 9 to 12 percent or more. Now, if this is all for the same qualifications, you could be shelling out hundreds of extra dollars a month in payments, just because you didn’t search properly. Make sure not let the mortgage loan companies take advantage of your situation.

Look at the fees: When a mortgage loan company offers you a home loan, be sure to add up the fees from each financing package and compare those with the interest rates. You should also compare closing costs and other fees in the financing package, which at times does add up to hundreds of dollars. Although, adverse credit is likely to result in some fees, it should not be excessive. As a general rule, fees should be included in the price of the home loan. You should expect to pay up to five points for most home loans. There are always exceptions to this, but comparison-shopping should give you an idea of what is reasonable. It is good to remember that fees and terms can be better for borrowers during the off-season.

Cater for down payment: No mortgage loan company will offer a home loan to a person with a bad credit record without a down payment. The larger the down payment, the easier it is for you to secure a home loan. A down payment for a home loan between 5 percent and 20 percent is usually required for people with a credit score of less than 600. A down payment of 20 percent or more will save you from the expense of PMI.

Read the terms: Once you have finalized a home loan offer, make sure you know what type of deal you are getting into. So, be clear about the terms and conditions by reading the fine print. Some mortgage loan companies charge high fees for late or missed payments. While late fees are common, they should not be extreme. You can also get the documents vetted by a lawyer. The point is that you should be comfortable with all the terms before you sign. If you’ve any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the mortgage loan company for clarifications.

Applying for a home loan

The best way to apply for a home loan is through mortgage loan company services. These services can be accessed online. What they do is to take your application and resubmit it to multiple mortgage loan companies. Each application is usually sent to hundreds of such companies asking for the desired home loan. The response varies, but at least four home loan offers are assured for each application. These online mortgage loan company services can help people in almost every state from Florida to California.

The advantage of this process is that most of these mortgage loan companies won’t even pull your credit when you apply for a home loan, which is good since multiple inquiries on your credit report can drop your credit score a bit, and if you have bad credit to begin with, you certainly need to score as high as possible.

Once a mortgage loan company processes your information and finds everything in place, it will forward the documents for your final approval and signature. The whole process is completed in a matter of days.

If you are patient and persistent, you can hope for a home loan from a mortgage loan company that has the least interest, even if you score low on credit.

Important Advice for Investing in Real Estate Property

Posted in HYIP on May 19th, 2008

When investing in real estate, they say that the three most important things to consider are “location, location and location.” That’s because the location will determine the value of the property. If your chosen property is in a prime location in the city, you can expect the price of the property will be much higher compared to buying properties from another area.

If you’re seriously considering investing in real estate properties, you’ll need the following:

1. Investment capital - or a legitimate means of acquiring it.

2. An adequate knowledge of both the real estate market and the neighborhood in which you’re planning to buy your property.

3. Good management abilities and above-average negotiation skills in order to get the property you want at a price you can afford.

4. The ability to do repairs on the property, or to hire others to do them for you. Remember that if you’re capable of making repairs yourself, you’ll save a lot of money on your investment.

5.The name and number of a property inspector or engineer to help you determine a property’s flaws.

While you may not always be able to find, evaluate and buy inexpensive homes that are either in foreclosure or “fix-uppers” that can be around quickly, you can still become a landlord for the property as itincreases in value. But be very careful to whom you rent, because you have to make sure that your property is well maintained.

Since investing means spending money in order to make more money, you’ll need capital. This is one reason why many people venture into real estate after they ‘ve saved a sizable amount of money, usually starting by selling their current home and then buying a buy a smaller place for themselves plus another investment property.

As mentioned above, location is an important factor in buying real estate, so make sure that you do your research first. Check out the area’s schools, libraries, businesses and public amenities, attend city council meetings and surf the Internet to find out as much information as you can. Also look into plans for future developments in the vicinity of the property you wish to purchase.

Real Estate Investment Trusts

Real estate investment trusts are a great way of investing in real estate for a lot less money, and without the problems that usually come with being a landlord. Investment trusts are organizations that invest in various corporations involved in real estate, ranging from industrial parks to shopping centers and construction companies. They’re listed on the NASDAQ and the stock exchange.

Basically, real estate investment trusts function the same as mutual funds, except that their diversified portfolios only invest in real state. They also pay the bulk of their earnings in investor dividends.

Things to consider before investing in real estate investment trusts:

1. The economic health of the areas where the key holdings are located.

2. Overall performance of the trusts, as well as its future projections.

3. The track record of the trust’s management.

4. The current overall state of the real estate market.

Real estate investment trusts provide a much safer way of investing in real estate than actually buying properties.
