3 Tips to Healthy Weight Loss January 13, 2009

23a72Coming to the realization you need to lose some weight isn’t always a thought easily swallowed. When we get to this point we often want to see results quickly. This is a mistake. Establishing a healthy and appropriate diet plan takes time.

Talking to your doctor before starting a plan is something often over looked. This quick guide will help you get the basics of healthy dieting and give you an idea of what to expect if you are planning to start.

Set a reasonable goal- When we look at ourselves we must determine what our ideal weight is, this can be difficult. Use of a weight chart can help you figure out how much weight you should loose. Remember that the proper amount of weight to lose is 3-4 pounds a month.

Determining how frequently to exercise- When looking at this step you must be honest with yourself. Starting with 30 minutes 3x per day is a healthy starting point. If you determine you can not keep up with this time frame reduce it to 15 min. 3x day.

Document your exercise and diet plan- Keep track of what you eat on a daily basis. Begin with a sensible breakfast. Skipping breakfast will lower your metabolism not allowing you to burn the proper amount of calories. You should eat light during dinner reducing the amount you intake before bed. Remember to tell your doctor before beginning.

Following these steps will keep you healthy and losing weight in no time!

 

3 Reasons to Invest in Real Estate January 10, 2009

23a7The market for just about everything these days is on a downward spiral. Although establishing yourself in something real seems more reasonable than most ideas. Frequently when consumers hear the word Real Estate they get concerned.

Simply because there isn’t a lot of protection for the average homeowner and in most situations it takes a longer amount of time to truly see its pay off. Though we would rather get the quick cash. The most sensible investment is one that pays steady over a longer course of time. You may need to wait longer to see your money grow but it will be well worth it in the end.

Below are a few reasons why you should invest in Real Estate:

1] Establish Financial Stability: Real Estate no matter how bad the property is when you obtain it has some value. Over time it will grow as long as the value of the area around it grows. This will provide you with a constant Net Worth.

2] Revolving Trade Credit: Generally in order to get a loan of any real magnitude one must have 3 lines of revolving credit. This is not just accounts in collections, or paid accounts but accounts you are continually paying on.

The average family has monthly credit card payments, maybe a car payment, and insurance, sometimes current bills paid. However if you are an unfortunate soul who has no real credit there are places that will allow you to improve your credit through a land contract.

This is a contract that gives you recognition as a owner of the property, you can make all the decisions until the home is paid off. Some allow you to pay them off without penalty’s, others you must stay within the contracted payments until the amount is paid back.

*Note: Terms may vary so check with someone familiar with contracts before signing on the dotted line.

3] Freedom- Being a homeowner gives you freedom you wouldn’t get while renting. Being able to make the decisions on whether or not to change the color of your walls is something many take for granted. The truth is dealing with a landlord constantly can get frustrating and down right messy.
