Unlock the Power of Roth-IRA: Your Path to Multi-Millionaire Status

/in , , /by

By Kris Miller

Imagine a future where your hard-earned money not only grows steadily but multiplies exponentially, paving the way to a life of financial abundance. With Roth-IRA, this dream can become your reality. In this exciting and inspiring article, we will reveal the secrets to using your Roth-IRA to harness its remarkable potential for wealth creation. Get ready to embark on a journey towards becoming a multi-millionaire and securing your financial freedom.

  1. The Magic of Compound Interest: Roth-IRA offers an incredible opportunity for wealth accumulation through the power of compound interest. With an impressive average growth rate of 14%, your money can double in just four years. By reinvesting your earnings, you unlock the potential for exponential wealth growth over time.
  2. Invest Strategically: To maximize the potential of your Roth-IRA, it’s crucial to invest strategically. Conduct thorough research, seek guidance from financial experts, and identify promising investment opportunities. Whether it’s stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets, make informed choices that align with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
  3. Take Advantage of Tax Benefits: One of the key advantages of a Roth-IRA is the tax benefits it offers. Contributions are made with after-tax dollars, meaning you won’t be taxed on withdrawals in the future. This tax-efficient structure allows your investments to grow unhindered, ensuring more substantial returns over time.
  4. Plan for the Long Term: Building wealth with a Roth-IRA requires a long-term perspective. Resist the temptation to make impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations. Stay focused on your financial goals, maintain a diversified portfolio, and be patient. Remember, true wealth is accumulated over time.
  5. Maximize Contributions: To fast-track your journey to multi-millionaire status, aim to contribute the maximum allowable amount to your Roth-IRA each year. By consistently maximizing your contributions, you take full advantage of the growth potential and maximize the tax benefits associated with these accounts.
  6. Seek Professional Guidance: Navigating the complexities of wealth creation requires expertise. Consider consulting with a financial advisor who specializes in retirement planning and Roth-IRAs. They can help you develop a tailored investment strategy, optimize your contributions, and ensure you’re on track to achieve your financial goals.
  7. Embrace Financial Education: Empower yourself with knowledge about personal finance, investment strategies, and retirement planning. Educate yourself through books, podcasts, seminars, and online resources. The more you understand about managing your finances, the better equipped you’ll be to make informed decisions and capitalize on the potential of your Roth-IRA.
  8. Stay Disciplined and Stay the Course: Wealth creation is a journey that requires discipline and perseverance. Stay committed to your long-term financial plan and resist the temptation to deviate from it. Be proactive in monitoring your investments, adjusting your strategy as needed, and staying the course, even during times of market volatility.

ADVERTISEMENT

With the remarkable potential of Roth-IRAs, you have the opportunity to transform your financial future and become a multi-millionaire. By harnessing the power of compound interest, strategic investing, and taking advantage of tax benefits, you can unlock the door to extraordinary wealth. Remember to plan for the long term, maximize your contributions, seek professional guidance, and continuously educate yourself. Embrace the journey towards financial freedom, and watch as your Roth-IRA propels you towards a life of abundance.

Tips for Getting a Merchant Cash Advance

/in /by

By Vista Capital Solutions

Are you considering a merchant cash advance for funding? Do you need financing quickly? Or is your current credit score making it difficult to acquire a traditional loan?

No matter why you are looking into a business cash advance, some tips will help ensure you take out the right advance from the right provider

ADVERTISEMENT

Avoid Running Negatives

If you are considering a merchant cash advance, the lender will look at your current accounts to calculate the right amount. They will look at your current and prior transaction history to do this.

If you have had a lot of situations of bounced checks and insufficient funds, you may not receive the funding you apply for. In most cases, the funding company will require that you may payments daily. If you have a track record of not meeting your financial obligations, getting this type of funding may be impossible. Because of this, you need to make sure you don’t have a lot of instances of negative balances

Maintain a Sufficient Daily Balance

If you want to be approved for an advance, you have to keep your day-to-day balances as high as possible and avoid negative balances in your accounts. Suppose a funding company sees that you have sufficient balances and that you keep these consistently to meet financial obligations. In that case, they are much more likely to provide you with the financing that you requested. It will also help you get a longer-term and lower rate than if you had lower day-to-day balances

A Good Credit Score

Do you have a good credit score? If not, you may find it difficult to get the cash advance you have applied for. A merchant cash advance company is a new creditor, which means they may want to view your past track record of payments, if they were on time, etc. If they find out you have had issues, such as a poor credit history, past defaults, or delinquencies, then you may not get the funding you requested from that provider

ADVERTISEMENT

Acquiring a Merchant Cash Advance

As you can see, there are several things that a merchant cash advance lender will consider when it comes to providing this funding. Be sure to keep the information here in mind, which will give you the best chance possible of getting the funding you need. Being informed will also help you secure this financing to help grow your business.

Moving Made Easy: Strategies for Real Estate Investors on a Tight Schedule

/in /by

By Jason Mueller 

Moving can be a daunting task, especially for real estate investors who often find themselves juggling multiple properties and deals on a tight schedule. The process of relocating can be stressful, time-consuming, and disruptive to business operations. However, with careful planning and strategic execution, moving can be made much easier, allowing investors to transition smoothly while minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

In this guest post, we will explore some effective strategies for real estate investors on a tight schedule to make their move a seamless and efficient experience.

Why Choose Three Movers for Your Moving Needs

When it comes to moving, choosing the right moving company is crucial for a smooth and stress-free experience. ThreeMovers.com offers a compelling option for your moving needs. With a team of experienced professionals, they provide efficient and reliable services, ensuring the safe transport of your belongings. Three Movers takes care of all the logistics, from packing to unpacking, so you can focus on other aspects of your move. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them an excellent choice for anyone seeking a seamless and hassle-free moving experience.

Create a Comprehensive Moving Plan

The first step to ensure a successful move is to develop a detailed moving plan. Start by setting a firm moving date and work backward, creating a timeline with specific tasks and deadlines. Include everything from notifying tenants and clients about the move to arranging for utilities and services at the new location. Having a clear plan in place will help you stay organized and focused throughout the process.

ADVERTISEMENT

Delegate and Outsource

Real estate investors often have a multitude of responsibilities and limited time. To alleviate the burden of moving, delegate tasks to capable team members or consider outsourcing certain aspects of the process. Hire professional movers to handle the logistics of transporting your belongings, enlist the help of a property management company to manage tenant communications, or hire virtual assistants to handle administrative tasks. By delegating and outsourcing, you can free up your time and concentrate on critical business matters.

Pack and Label Efficiently

Packing is a time-consuming process that can become overwhelming without proper organization. Create an efficient packing system by decluttering and sorting your belongings. Separate items into categories, such as furniture, documents, equipment, and personal belongings. Use high-quality packing materials and label each box clearly with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will save you time when unpacking at the new location and help you locate items quickly when needed.

Utilize Technology

Take advantage of technology to streamline your move and manage your real estate business more efficiently. Use property management software to handle tenant communication, lease agreements, and rent collection remotely. Utilize cloud storage services to store important documents and access them from anywhere. Virtual meeting platforms can also be helpful for conducting meetings with clients and contractors during the moving process.

Coordinate with Contractors and Service Providers

If you have ongoing construction or renovation projects, make sure to coordinate with contractors and service providers well in advance. Communicate your moving schedule and discuss any necessary adjustments to project timelines. By proactively managing these relationships, you can ensure a smooth transition and minimize any disruptions to your business operations.

ADVERTISEMENT

Prioritize Essential Services

One of the key aspects of moving is transferring utilities and services to the new location. Prioritize essential services such as electricity, water, internet, and phone lines. Notify service providers ahead of time about your move and schedule the necessary installations and transfers. This will ensure that your business can resume operations promptly at the new location.

Notify Tenants and Clients

If you own rental properties or have clients who regularly visit your office, it is crucial to notify them well in advance about your move. Send out formal notifications via email or physical mail, and provide clear instructions regarding the relocation. Address any concerns they may have and reassure them of uninterrupted services during the transition. Open lines of communication with tenants and clients, and keep them updated on the progress of the move.

Plan for Downtime

Despite careful planning, it is essential to anticipate some downtime during the moving process. Allocate time for setting up the new space, unpacking, and reorganizing your business operations. Consider scheduling your move during a period of low activity or plan to work remotely during the transition. By acknowledging and planning for downtime, you can minimize its impact on your real estate business.

Take Care of Legal and Administrative Tasks

Moving involves various legal and administrative tasks that should not be overlooked. Update your business address with the appropriate authorities, including government agencies, banks, insurance providers, and clients. Review and revise any contracts or lease agreements that may be affected by the move. Consult with legal professionals to ensure compliance with any regulatory requirements associated with your relocation.

Celebrate the Move

Finally, once you have successfully completed your move, take the time to celebrate this milestone. Recognize and appreciate your team for their efforts in making the transition smooth. Consider hosting a grand opening event at your new location to showcase your commitment to growth and to strengthen relationships with tenants, clients, and business partners.

Final Thoughts

Moving can be a challenging endeavor for real estate investors on a tight schedule. But, with the right planning in place, it can be much easier. By creating a comprehensive moving plan, delegating tasks to capable team members or outsourcing certain aspects, utilizing technology to streamline operations, prioritizing essential services, and effectively communicating with tenants and clients, investors can minimize disruptions and maximize productivity during the move. Careful planning and execution are key to ensuring a smooth transition and allowing investors to continue their real estate endeavors successfully. With these strategies in place, moving can be transformed from a stressful experience into a seamless and efficient process, ultimately benefiting the investor’s business and bottom line.

3 Secrets About Financial Planning (That Your Broker Doesn’t Want You to Know)

/in /by

By Kris Miller, LDA

Most people who have a 401(k) or an IRA have little idea of where their money is invested. When you ask them, “whereʼs your retirement money?” they reply, “at the bank” or “with my broker.” No wonder so many people are financially unprepared for retirement.

If you want to be financially secure in your Golden Years, you must take control of your investments today. Handing your money over to a broker and hoping they will look out for you is a recipe for disaster. Imagine saving and investing for 40+ years, only to find out at age 65 or 70 that you donʼt have enough money to retire. It happens every day.

ADVERTISEMENT

With so much financial planning information available, why are so many people unprepared for retirement? Because there are certain financial planning myths that simply wonʼt go away. And the more you believe the myths, the more of a struggle your retirement will be. Letʼs uncover the truth (that most brokers would like to remain a secret) once and for all so you can take charge of your financial future.

Myth #1 You Must Put Your Money at Risk

Most 401(k) and IRAs are invested in the stock market, and the stock market is the riskiest place to put your money. Youʼve likely heard “market experts” say that now is a good time to invest in the market. A broken watch tells the right time twice a day, but thatʼs no reason to wear one.

Likewise, youʼve likely heard someone start a sentence with, “our economists are forecasting…” Ask your broker if the firmʼs economists predicted the most recent recession, and if so, when? Warren Buffett once said that forecasters make fortune tellers look good. If you want to earn higher returns, most brokers tell you that you have to take more risk. That’s not entirely true.

HERE’S THE TRUTH: Thereʼs no reason for all of your money to be at risk. You can make money with safer investments, such as fixed index annuities, which are like a savings account with an insurance company. In fact, even during the Great Depression, not one person lost money with a fixed index annuity. Theyʼre safe, they have liquidity, and they offer better rates than most other products.

Myth #2 Your Broker Only Makes Money When You Do

Itʼs nice to think that your broker only cares about you and your financial future, but thatʼs not 100% true. While your broker likely does want the best for you, hereʼs what usually happens when you let them invest your money:

Your broker buys shares of stocks and mutual funds. The market does one of three things: goes up, goes down, or remains stagnant. Wall Street canʼt control the market, and neither can your broker, but they make money regardless of whether you do or not.

HERE’S THE TRUTH: Brokers donʼt only make money when you do. Sure, theyʼd like you to make money, but they actually make their money by managing your money. They get paid when the market goes down; they get paid when the market goes up; they get paid when the market is flat. In other words, they always win. Their clients, however (and that would be you), only win in one of those three directions. Brokers win in all three.

Myth #3 Small Fees Are Not a Big Deal

Even if you are putting money into your retirement account on a regular basis, hidden fees may be slowly draining your account. The disclosed fees are simple to find — look at the expense ratio, which is found in the prospectus. These fees are commonly referred to as “management fees.” Administration fees (added on top of management fees) are much harder to find. You may think that a small fee here and there isn’t a big deal.

ADVERTISEMENT

After all, how much could these administration fees possibly be? Consider this example from the U.S Department of Labor 401(k) fee website:

“Assume you are an employee with 35 years until retirement and a current 401(k) account balance of $25,000.

If returns on investments in your account over the next 35 years average 7% and fees and expenses reduce your average returns by 0.5%, your account balance will grow to $227,000 at retirement, even if there are no further contributions to your account.

If fees and expenses are 1.5%, however, your account balance will grow to only $163,000.”

The 1% increase in fees reduces the account balance at retirement by 28%. Thatʼs a huge fee!

Be sure to look for and ask your broker about the following fees:

• Plan Administration Fees
• Investment Fees
• Individual Service Fees

Plan Your Future Today

Whether you plan to retire today or in 30 years, you need to take control of your retirement accounts right away. Understanding how your money is invested and making sure itʼs working for you in the most efficient way will give you peace of mind and future security. By dispelling these three myths and putting some time into planning, you can rest assured that your retirement years will be pleasurable—and prosperous.

Tips on How Podcasts Can Make Money

/in /by

By Stephanie Mojica

When entrepreneurs think of getting into the media, they often think of magazines, newspapers, TV, and radio.

But podcasts are a growing, and still often-overlooked, form of media that can dramatically benefit all types of entrepreneurs and experts.

According to Buzzsprout, only 22 percent of American adults in the early 2000s knew the term podcast. Currently, the estimated number is 78 percent.

For those who don’t know, a podcast is generally a series of audio-only episodes surrounding a central theme. It’s sort of a mix of blogging and radio, though there are some distinct differences.

For example, podcast interviews are evergreen. Meaning, they last forever. Podcast hosts tend to publish their episodes on multiple websites and apps dedicated to this medium, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, Google Podcasts, Blog Talk Radio, and many more.

I’ve been on podcasts where the hosts also livestream the interview (including the video) to YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

ADVERTISEMENT

Examples of Making Money Through Podcast Interviews

While many people produce podcasts or do podcast interviews as a hobby, there are ways to monetize both ends of the spectrum.

For example, I had an interview with the Yeukai Business Show (a podcast based out of the United Kingdom that is in the top three percent of globally ranked podcasts). The host, Yeukai Kajidori, immediately introduced me to someone he had recently interviewed who was hoping to write a book. She and I had a conversation and she enrolled in my 90-day intensive. She finished her book during our time together and is having it published.

My company had another client, I’ll call her Anne, who sold 400 books from a single podcast interview. Since her royalties through Kindle Direct Publishing are $9.72 per book sold, she made $3,888 from a single interview!

Yet another client, I’ll call him Don, sold an $8,000 consulting package to someone who heard him on a podcast.

The list goes on and on. Podcasts, when used well, are an amazing tool to gain more sales…and you don’t even need a book to do it (though a book always helps you get interviews and have something to offer listeners right away)

Tips for Monetizing Podcast Interviews

While we’ll go deeper into the process of getting these opportunities in a future article, it’s fairly easy to get started with podcast interviews. Facebook groups and Clubhouse rooms dedicated to find a guest, be a guest abound.

While you should do more careful targeting later on, it’s fine to do a few interviews with any show related to your expertise just to get started and become known. Many of my recent podcast interviews came from referrals from other podcast hosts, so getting in the game so to speak is key.

Each podcast interview takes about 30 to 75 minutes of your time. Depending on your schedule and goals, you should aim to do at least one a month. Many folks, including myself, try for one a week. If you’re launching a book or a course, the more interviews the better.

When pitching yourself to a podcast or speaking on a podcast, avoid hard sales pitches. I think you know what I’m talking about. Do not basically order people to buy your product or service. I’ve heard of podcast hosts not publishing episodes where all the guest does is try to sell to the audience.

Podcast listeners want value. They are dedicating their time to listen to you. While they’re aware that you’re in business, they don’t want to hear sales pitches the entire time.

ADVERTISEMENT

Tell Stories About Your Clients

Answer questions about yourself honestly and in an engaging manner.

Weave in ways they can get in touch with you. For example, I’ll say something like, “I go deeper into this in my free eBook” and mention the title and website.

Always say any web addresses twice and speak slowly when giving them.

Use headphones and a good microphone to avoid background noises that can render your episode unusable.

Most podcast hosts will let you put links in what they call show notes. Some have limits; others don’t. If you’re limited, I recommend a link to a free offer where listeners can leave their email address (aka they opt in), your LinkedIn profile, and your most popular social media profile or your Facebook group. I still wouldn’t give 50 links; as one of my mentors, Ali Brown, once said in a virtual training class, “A confused mind says no.”

Keep in Touch with Your Hosts

Not everyone will mesh well, and that’s okay. But most of the time, you’ve started a relationship that’s worth continuing — and you need to nurture it.

Keep in touch with the podcast host. Most are happy to accept your friend request on social media. See if there are ways you can bring them more value.

In October 2021, I hosted a 30-plus speaker summit called The Visible Authority Virtual Event — Be Seen. Get Heard. Get Paid. Alex Villacis, host of Do I Need School to… invited me to do an Instagram Live with her to help drive members of her audience to my summit. This was only possible because we kept in touch after my interview with her about the book editing side of my business.

Another host, Heather Zeitzwolfe from the Get the Balance Right podcast, invited me to be a speaker on her Zoom networking event. People signed up for my free Business Book Blueprint five-day challenge as a result. I’ve also introduced potential virtual assistants and mentors to her.

I’ve referred multiple clients and business associates of mine to these podcasts as well as other podcasts. The key is to treat every host you meet with respect, bring plenty of value to their audiences, keep in touch, believe in the power of your message, and just get started.

How Raising Your Business Credit Score Can Help Your Company

/in , /by

By Vista Capital Solutions

You probably remember using your personal credit lines to take out the initial loans needed to open your business. Before starting a company, you don’t have any business credit. Even after a few years, it is possible that your company still won’t have established business credit. If you don’t actually work on your business score, then you may never have this kind of credit. Discovering ways to beef up your business credit score can help your company realize a whole host of untapped opportunities.

ADVERTISEMENT

Repair Your Personal Credit

Your personal credit score and business credit score are two totally different entities. However, the first factor in establishing a business score is maintaining a decent personal credit score. Before you can start building business credit, you should focus on any necessary personal credit repair first. If you find that your individual score needs improving, there are some things you can do. Any derogatory marks can keep your score down, so try to dispute these items with each of the different credit bureaus. If you’re successfully able to remove any of these negative marks, your score will increase as a result.

Build Your Business Credit

Although the first step toward building business credit is focusing on your personal credit repair, there are additional measures you should consider. One way to start having good business credit is by paying your bills as early as possible. This factor is very important to the bureaus that determine business scores. Checking with these bureaus can help you understand other factors that make up your score, so you don’t waste time with unnecessary actions.

ADVERTISEMENT

Understand the Benefits of Good Credit

Before you go through the necessary credit repair to begin building your business score, you want to understand why this type of credit is significant. Not all companies have established business credit, and it may limit future growth in many ways. A good business credit score makes you eligible for financing opportunities that can dramatically expand your company. A good business score can make or break a deal, especially when purchasing or leasing commercial real estate. If you want to grow your business and make exponential profits, you should pay attention to building business credit.

There are many benefits to establishing a decent business credit score. Your personal credit will improve, your business will grow, and you will realize many new opportunities as a result of your hard work.

Pacific Urban Investors Acquires La Jolla International Gardens

/in /by

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 06, 2023 — Multifamily owner-operator and investment manager Pacific Urban Investors acquired La Jolla International Gardens, a 400-unit apartment community in the La Jolla / University Town Center (UTC) submarket of San Diego, CA, on April 27, 2023. The property was renamed Allina La Jolla (the “Property”) and marks Pacific’s 21st acquisition in the San Diego Market.

ADVERTISEMENT

Allina La Jolla is a 100% market rate property built in 1986. La Jolla / UTC is known as a regional employment driver in multiple science and technology fields due to its business connectivity to the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) research ecosystem. Proximity to downtown La Jolla, job centers up and down the I-5/I-15 corridors, and some of southern California’s best beaches make La Jolla / UTC a highly sought-after locale offering convenient coastal access and short commute times. The Property offers semi-urban, walkable living 10 minutes from the ocean, a job-dense micro location with abundant neighboring retail, and spacious amenities. Community offerings on the meticulously crafted, 7-acre asset include a resort-style pool and spa, sprawling clubhouse, fully-equipped business center, modern fitness center, sand volleyball court, and bar-be-que area.

Pacific Urban Investors is committed to preserving the distinctive character and identity of Allina La Jolla while introducing new initiatives aimed at further enhancing the resident experience. The company plans to invest in modernizing the community’s amenities, including expanded communal areas for residents to connect and engage, and upgrading resident unit interiors.

“Allina La Jolla gives Pacific the opportunity to own a high quality, well-kept vintage asset that offers residents a pleasant living experience with proximate access to La Jolla beaches only a short drive away. Exceptional demographics, award-winning schools, world-class outdoor amenities, and expansive retail offerings make La Jolla / UTC as desired a coastal community as any in San Diego County. The Property’s premium location, access to multiple employment nodes, ample amenities, and well-designed floor plans, all serve as differentiating features in the marketplace,” said Grant Geisen, Senior Vice President of Investments at Pacific.

Pacific’s President Rory Gardner commented, “We are excited to obtain a position in this coveted coastal San Diego submarket where opportunities are so difficult to come by. Allina La Jolla is a welcome complement to our growing Southern California portfolio, and we are actively seeking additional San Diego investments across all our strategies; including both direct acquisitions, as well as joint venture and preferred equity opportunities.”

ADVERTISEMENT

About Pacific Urban Investors: The Palo Alto, CA-based company has over $8.6 billion in assets under management and owns and manages a national portfolio of more than 20,000 units. The firm and its partners have decades of experience in apartment investments, both repositioning and ‘re-manufacturing’ multifamily assets and their income streams to their optimal, core potential.
