by Aurelia M. Fleur

Because of the large distances many people have between loved ones in today’s world, people can’t always visit on Mother’s Day. As a result, Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days for the phone companies to handle calls. Everyone wants to show their mother how much they love her on Mother’s Day.

Besides making a phone call to your mother, another way to show your love is to send her flowers on Mother’s Day. Should you not live near her, you can still send her flowers online. While roses are the most popular choice, there are many other varieties of flowers for you mother on Mother’s Day.

The color of the flower that you choose correlates closely with the significance of the emotions behind them. Red roses symbolize love, and are a perfect gift for a husband to send his wife, or for Mother’s Day. They would not be an appropriate gift for a child to send to a mother or grandmother.

Yellow, white, dark pink, or blue colored roses are other popular options for you to choose from. The yellow rose symbolizes the success of your mother and her pride, they are a great color for you to add. The dark pink colored rose is a great way to symbolize your admiration for your mother.

Baby’s breath, lilies, daffodils, tulips and carnations also look good in a bouquet. When your mother opens her door and is given a wonderful arrangement, the look on her face will show her appreciation for how much you love her.

Though a flower gift may never be able to repay your mother for the multitude of things that she has done for you, a Mother’s Day flower gift is a great way to remind her that you truly do love and appreciate her.

A Novice’s Choice: Real Estate Investing

by May C

Real Estate is one of the most profitable markets out there, but many have the idea that you cannot go into this business without having a lot of money to start with. Wholesaling is a fast and easy way to make money in Real Estate without having worry about getting financing.

Here is what to do. Start prospecting for wholesale buyers and sellers. Don’t wait until you have found a property to wholesale before you start locating a buyer. Talk to people. Talk to your friends, business associates, your competitors. Do networking and meet new people. If they are not buying or selling, they can lead you to people who are, and they will know who to go to when they will be buying or selling in the future. It is always good to build relationships with people you might do business with later.

Join your local Real Estate Investment Club (REI). You will meet other investors in the business and you can get some information you might need about the market. Your REI club is truly one of your better resources that you should take advantage of.

Put up “We buy houses” signs in some key areas. Put up as many as you can. It is a sure way to get people to call you and be careful not to break the law. In other words the calls you might be getting are ones that you do not want.

You local paper can also be a great tool to find prospects. Run an ad in your local paper -an ad that people would react to. You can put in something like “Way below market”, “Must sell fast”, “Bargain price”.

When you find a good piece of property, you need to have it under a Contract to secure it. You can safeguard the property and file a Memorandum or Affidavit on your interest of the property, while under contract, so that the seller may not be able to sell the property to someone while, under the term of your contract.

You have several options that you can do:

* If you have a wholesale buyer, you can:

> Assign your contract and let the Buyer close - do this option only if you are willing to give the Buyer some control over the property. > Close with the Seller first then with the Buyer - with this option, there will be two closing statements, one from the Seller to you and one from you to the Buyer, and two deeds. > Close with the Buyer first, then with the Seller - same with above, there will be two closing statements > Have the seller deed the property directly to your Buyer - the biggest advantage of this direct deeding approach is that you are out of the chain of title, and you can therefore avoid liability should any problems arise. Why unnecessarily involve yourself in the chain of title, when you are only acting as middleman to the transaction?

* If your buyer is not ready to close on your contract, you can close the purchase and hold on to the property until such time the resale can be done, providing, of course, that you have the financial resources to do so. This option requires the ability to close.

You will need to do business with a Closing Attorney or an Escrow Agent to execute the transactions.

If you haven’t been involved in the Wholesaling market, look into it and give it a try. It’s a great way to earn income quickly and is fairly easy!

Happy Wholesaling!
