3 Tools ALL Real Estate Investors Need

By Doc Schmyz

One of the most common bits of information the Real estate investors always ask each other is "What tricks of the trade or inside tidbits can you share with me??" I always answer this question with a question..."What tools do you have in your investment toolbox?"

Now before you go nuts scratching your head, let me define the areas of the tool box. The tool box has three areas.

1)In your head tool box: This is all about how your thinking process works when it comes to investing, and more importantly how open minded you are about investing information. Are you willing to think outside the box in order to look at investment opportunities or must the investment fall within a cookie cutter method you having? In your head means you need to read books, articles, partake in discussions, and basically interact with that big grey hunk of goo that is in your skull.

It is about gathering all the info you can in order to be able to think about investing and where it can lead you.

IMPORTANT ELEMENT. While we all know that a zillion books have been written about investing. It is important to understand that you MUST have some knowledge from that book...WHY? Because if you understand what other investors are reading?it actually makes it easier to work with them since you understand where they are getting their basic tactics and understanding from, that helps steer them to the investments THEY are making.

2)Your on-line tool box: Most investors use the web daily. Its a great information source, but most investors also have tunnel vision when they are on the web. we get stuck using a few websites that we think are the best at that will cover all our needs. WRONG answer. This causes a type of blindness I call "INFO INPUT SHUT DOWN".

Ok so how do you avoid Info input shut down? You have to open your tool box up to get some fresh tools.

All you do is create an another email and use it to collect eamil updates from various websites. these are going to be websits that will add you to an emailing list and send you any updates/newsletters they send out.

Now dont be to hasty and unsubscribe after the first email. More often then hot the newsletter/updates dont deliver the "meaty info" in the begining...more often then not it comes as a series of newsletters. Look for Investment clubs that offer news letters as well as blog sites, news sites, etc. Any reference sits you can find I recommend bookmarking.

I avoid most of the "pop up" mailing lists for the simple fact that if the info they offer is any good?someone else is going to share it and it will cause enough of a buzz that you will hear about it. If that the case then go ahead and join it.

Other online Tool box sites are certain "E tools". These go way beyond having a mortgage calculator online. We are talking about tools that you are almost chomping at the bit to try. (I have to admit I have a few of these in my Tool box?I use them every day) When you find these tools you will just know it, find them and BOOKMARK them!

3) Physical tools. tools we would use in the field. this can be anything from a lap top to a great flashlight for crawling under a house. (I know a ton of investors who get "EYES ON" when it comes to real estate. One of them keeps a jumpsuit in his trunk just incase he needs to dive under a house to check the foundation...by the way...the man is a millionaire several times over and is a very young 64 years old.) These are the tools we need when we need them..I am a huge fan of "dont fail me tools". Flash lights, a good go by list, circut tester, actualy mortgage calculator...etc.

Thats about it. so go build your toolbox. pdate it often. Use it daily...and happy investing. - 23200

Lotto, Is This The Best CFD Trading Strategy

By Jeff Cartridge

Making of use of two critical measures of trading performance can dramatically improve your trading results. These two important measurements are the hit rate (winning %) and the risk reward.

To calculate the hit rate divide the number of profitable trades by the total number of trades. The risk reward is the average win divided by the average loss. The risk reward is a measure of how your profits compare to your losses, while the hit rate measures how often your strategy is profitable.

Lotto versus CFDs

Most people have bought lotto tickets at some point in their life, however is lotto the way to riches?

Putting at risk just $10, you stand the chance to make $10 million when playing Lotto. This is excellent odds with your wins 1 million times the size of your losses giving a risk reward of $1 million to 1. This is an exceptional number and unlikely to be repeated anywhere in the investment world.

However if it was that easy we would have all won lotto. This is not the case and while the risk reward is exceptional, the hit rate is lousy. Assuming that the lotto draw requires 6 balls out of 40 to win then the chance of buying the winning ticket are 3,838,380:1.

If you bought 3,838,380 tickets on average one ticket would win and the rest (3,838,379) would lose. This means on average you would have to spend $38,383,790 to win $10 million. Overall playing Lotto would cost you $28,383,790.

Winning Lotto is more about luck than probability as you may win before you buy you 3,838,380 ticket. But when it comes to building a profitable trading strategy it is not about luck it is about taking advantage of an opportunity that has a profitable edge.

Trading Lessons From A Rugby Game

The Crusaders have dominated the Super 14 rugby series in New Zealand in the last 10 years as they won 7 years out of the last ten.

A large bet of $100,000 was made that the Crusaders would win a particular game. The payoff if the Crusaders won was $108,000 so the gambler would receive a profit of just $8,000. With a downside of $100,000 the risk reward is very poor at 8:100 or 0.08.

However when you consider the odds of a Crusaders win they were very high. If the probability is high enough, more than 90%, then this could actually be a profitable strategy.

If the odds were 95% then the gambler would lose only once out of 20 games so he would make $8,000 times 19, $152,000, and lose $100,000 once. His net gain is $52,000. As an investment even though the risk reward is lousy, this could be a profitable strategy if the hit rate is high enough to justify the investment.

Successful trading is about following a profitable strategy and by using a combination of the hit rate and the risk reward you can ensure the strategy provides you with an edge. - 23200
