101. On Board the Property Buzz in St Lucia
March 14, 2016
While ownership of foreign property has traditionally been seen as something reserved only for the super wealthy, with the recent stabilisation of the global economy there's been a distinct buzz growing around St Lucia, in The Caribbean, in terms of investment opportunities.
So what is it that international buyers find so appealing about the prospect of investing in property in St Lucia?
The Price of Luxury
While the price of property in St Lucia has risen in the past few years, the global crisis certainly slowed things down – meaning it's still a buyer's market. The high-end l... (read more)

104. Investing for Women's Financial Futures
January 24, 2016
According to the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University, women in industrialized nations outlive men by as much as 10 years. In fact, this study found that 85% of centenarians are women. While this is great news from a health perspective, living longer also means needing to make more plans for the future. This is why investing for women is a topic that financial firms have been taking more seriously over the last decade or so. Traditionally, women have shied away from investing, leaving this task to their male counterparts or neglecting it altogether. However, as the 21st century h... (read more)

107. 4 Things You Should Be Doing with Your Money
November 24, 2015
Money can rule your life. It can make you, break you, give you confidence, make you feel incompetent, make you hate it, and make you love it. But is money really that powerful or are you simply letting it have power over you? Whether you have an abundance of funds or you never seem to have enough, it is important that you are in control of your money instead of your money controlling you. This is the long-winded way of simply stating that you need to set a financial plan and stick to it, regardless of your income. Secure is not the person who has a lot of money, but the person who knows where ... (read more)

November 16, 2015
In this day and age, steps toward gender financial equality have brought us a long way, but there are still some marked differences when it comes to women and investing compared to their male counterparts.

Fortunately, with the help of the Internet, this education and information is more readily available than ever before, and women can take the reins when it comes to their financial futures.

110. When Will The Fed Increase Interest Rates?
November 12, 2015
Palos Verdes, CA. There is an old German saying “postponed but not nullified”. This is true for the Fed’s decision to keep its central bank rates unchanged in September and October. The Fed’s vote against hiking rates surprised everyone less than did the reasons why.
It seems the bench line of the unemployment rate has been downgraded in favor of actual inflation. This approach has caused some uncertainty in the real estate markets for the following reasons:
1) The Fed always runs the risk of getting it wrong, as it might constitute either too early or too late a move. To minimize... (read more)

113. Are Franchisors also Employers?
October 13, 2015
When it comes to employee claims, is the franchisor technically the employer of a franchisee’s employees? It can be a little confusing to detail this relationship, and unfortunately the answer is, it depends on the state.
Recently, Texas updated its labor code to clarify that a franchisor is not the employer of a franchisee’s employees. This means any claims regarding employment discrimination, the state’s Minimum Wage Act or workers’ compensation, wage payments and other laws won’t bring the franchisor into a legal battle. However, that’s only in Texas.
This relationship defin... (read more)

116. Will The Feds Now Start Hiking Interest Rates?
September 10, 2015
With the return of the US economy to a much more sustainable pace of economic expansion, the central bank is expected to start hiking central rates soon.
The majority in the market is convinced the Feds will act in mid-September or the first of October to end three years with zero interest rates. This view is well supported by sound arguments:
(1) The unemployment rate has fallen to the pre-crisis level of around 5.3%, a decline of about 5 percentage points over the course of the past five years.
(2) The economy has created 12 million jobs since 2010 or a monthly average empl... (read more)

117. Arizona Real Estate Stats for August.
August 19, 2015
Our housing market continues to show slow and steady improvement. On a year-over-year basis distressed inventories are down, foreclosures are down, traditional buyers are up, purchase money mortgages are up and new construction is up.

Some readers may groan that the month-over-month sales volume was 8.8% lower in July 2015 than in June 2015, but this decline is best explained by seasonal factors. First, our sales volume historically peaks in June and then declines each successive month t... (read more)

120. Discover a Powerful Way to Own Rental Income Property
August 05, 2015
I recommend purchasing mid-size rental income properties, although buying them usually requires more money than investing in single-family homes. If additional capital is needed, consider forming this unique group of active investors.

A relatively unknown form of ownership to effectively gather active investors is the tenants-in-common (TIC) form of ownership. It’s an easy, low-cost method of fund... (read more)
