Real Estate Investing in the Real World
Real Estate Blog
MONDAY, JUNE 04, 2007

I'm a fan of Blog Carnivals and we're happy to be hosting this week's Carinval of Real Estate Investing here at EquityScout.com. 

No snappy theme this week - we're gonna keep it simple with a top three and a couple of honorable mention posts.  Check 'em out. 

Taking poll position, The Landlord channels Real Estate Investing's favorite curmudgeon John T. Reed in 4 lies that the Gurus will tell you posted at Lording the Land. These are points that you can't hear too often. 

Running a close second, Steve Faber discusses an alternate way of investing in real estate with- REITs – A good Investment for Tishman Speyer Properties, But Is a REIT Right for You?

Rounding out the trio, The Dough Roller presents The 1% Solution to Real Estate Investing posted at The Dough Roller, saying, The 1% rule is a rule-of-thumb that has fallen out of favor in many markets as property prices have outraced rental rates - but it's a good screening tool - if you stray too far then you're more of a speculator than an investor. 

Congratulations to the top three!  Some other notable entries follow...

Bryce Beattie presents Seven Habits of Highly-Successful Real Estate Investors. posted at Middle Class Millionaires.  I'm not sure I agree with Bryce's habit #1, avoid overleveraging to reduce negative cashflow.  In some markets good investors can find quality investments that will produce positive cashflow even with 100% financing. 

Edithyeung presents How To Build a Strong Real Estate Team posted at Stewart Hsu. This post makes some good points but this approach is significantly more complicated than my own;  my "real estate team" consistes of a couple of people. 

WBL presents Protect Your Wealth and Privacy From Lawsuits posted at Wealth Building Lessons.  WBL opens with "the odds of every US resident being sued is 100% every 16.5 years" which isn't true, but it is true that lawsuits are a risk that investors need to be mindful of.  WBL includes some helpful hints but I think they miss one: ensure that dealings with stakeholders (the community, tenants, neighbors) are transparent and ethical. 

That's it for this week. Submit your blog article to the next edition of carnival of real estate investing using the carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

In defense of the over-leveraging comment, my definition of over-leveraging is borrowing more than the property can pay. If a property can support itself and meet the expenses and the mortgage payments without any outside funding, then it's not over-leveraged. Even if you borrowed 100% of the purchase price. I think we can both be right.

Reading Lou Zhu's post, my heart was actually a long time can not be calm. As Lao Tzu says: Da Yin Xi Sheng, invisible elephant. Aion KinahNow I finally understand what I lack what it is, it is Louzhu that the constant pursuit of truth and the House

The main kind of hard practice, the ideal generated by heavy feeling. The face of Lou Zhu's post, I am shocked that he could hardly move, and Louzhu that want to crack out of paper and exotic, actually made me could not help but time and time again turned Louzhu posts,

Each such time, the excited feelings of appreciation for a long number of points, I always wonder if God and flexible in its scenery of the exterior, wedding hair accessoriesas well as meat can make a person do not know in March, giving proudly residual sound, the feeling of three days is not absolutely .

Lou Zhu post is written wonderful. Writing is smooth, dignified rhetoric, won the Wei and Jin Zhu Chao legacy, but will also promote the Tang, Song was penetrating bone can be seen in their lifetime Louzhu this post. It is my Sansei's

Fortunately, ah. Louzhu reading this post, I went so far as to produce a non-sense of grief to the name of the - ah, such a good post,wedding tiaras if in future I can see, that's how I do? Then how can I do?

aion Kinah can get it online. Aion: The Tower Of Eternity is the first South Korean gaming giant NCsoft online games in South Korea has invested research and development of all the elite, carefully polished production of a new generation of fantasy MMORPG, is a set of development capacity of the NCsoft products. Aion has a heaven II and so the existing MMORPG completely different style. Development team sought to achieve in the game allows players to action to dominate the world changes, then changes in the world and then in turn affect the relationship between players of this cycle, the three ethnic strife in the world, and distinct from the science fiction and fantasy style of originality in the world. Game designers made a lot of ideas, hoping to create a world different from the past. Is neither science fiction nor fantasy-style-type style, but not too weird but people can not understand. This point, we can game screenshots, the original painting and video to carefully understand. NCsoft is Aion inherited production team to make the Korean online games has always been gorgeous picture of the battle with the straightforward sense of the game at the same time blend of the success of other network elements, for example, the role of Aion in the game you can squat, stand, jump with somersaults effects, long - out of the wings in the air, you can use the keyboard or mouse pure WASD, World of players are familiar with this key position, particularly. Currently there are online games, including the Paradise II included, players are subject to the developer to create a world. However, in Aion among the interaction between the player and the game can change the gaming world
