Different Types of Investments For You

By 12BuyOnline.com

Tips! You need to make a commitment to succeed. Real estate investing is simple, but it is not easy.

Overall, there are three different kinds of investments. These include stocks, bonds, and cash. Sounds simple, right? Well, unfortunately, it gets very complicated from there. You see, each type of investment has numerous types of investments that fall under it.

There is quite a bit to learn about each different investment type. The stock market can be a big scary place for those who know little or nothing about investing. Fortunately, the amount of information that you need to learn has a direct relation to the type of investor that you are.

There are also three types of investors: conservative, moderate, and aggressive. The different types of investments also cater to the two levels of risk tolerance: high risk and low risk.

Conservative investors often invest in cash. This means that they put their money in interest bearing savings accounts, money market accounts, mutual funds, US Treasury bills, and Certificates of Deposit. These are very safe investments that grow over a long period of time. These are also low risk investments.

Tips! Many investors fail because they invest 'on the fly', without the benefit of any pre-determined trading plan. It is critical to have a complete, thought out plan of action before starting investing.

Moderate investors often invest in cash and bonds, and may dabble in the stock market. Moderate investing may be low or moderate risks. Moderate investors often also invest in real estate, providing that it is low risk real estate.

Aggressive investors commonly do most of their investing in the stock market, which is higher risk. They also tend to invest in business ventures as well as higher risk real estate.

For instance, if an aggressive investor puts his or her money into an older apartment building, then invests more money renovating the property, they are running a risk. They expect to be able to rent the apartments out for more money than the apartments are currently worth - or to sell the entire property for a profit on their initial investments. In some cases, this works out just fine, and in other cases, it doesn't. It's a risk.

Real Estate Investing For The Poor! Very popular. Learn how to buy with No Money Down and go from tired of being poor to legitimate wealth.

Before you start investing, it is very important that you learn about the different types of investments, and what those investments can do for you. Understand the risks involved, and pay attention to past trends as well. History does indeed repeat itself, and investors know this first hand!

The Benefits of Bird-Dogging as a New Real Estate Investor

Tip! People should not obsess over avian bird flu at the expense of other medical issues. The epidemic or other public health crisis could come from any number of sources.

There are a lot of benefits to birddog, forget the funny title, it is the best place to begin your new real estate investment career! No, the pay is initially not good, but one has to decide are they in business for the long haul or looking to "get rich quick?" For the long haul, education is invaluable in our business. Education is precisely what bird-dogging is all about.

Tip! Fill the bottom of your carton with bird seed.

A birddog by definition finds motivated sellers for seasoned investors. In return they make $500-$1000 dollars per deal once the investor closes on the house. A bird-dog simply points to the house. Bird-dogging has no risk, and needs no money to place the house under contract.

Many new investors ask me how I get my ugly houses 48-70 cents on the dollar. So after discussing this with new investors I finally wrote an ezine or e-book that discuses in precise detail how to talk with sellers.

The goal is to find numerous investors who one can bird-dog for, by calling the "We Buy Houses" signs and ads ect. Then ask them where they like to buy and rehab houses so you can go to there goldmine areas and find gold. You are looking for vacant houses with unkempt yards, boarded up windows, usually much older houses, the worse the house the better, asking neighbors "who owns the property and do they have the phone number?"

Tip! We mustn't let our birds have contacts with wild or free � living birds, who are the main carriers of diseases and infections.

When I was bird-dogging I would show the investor the house, we would agree on the finder's fee, then immediately I would begin to look for the next motivated seller/house. But what typically happens is the investor would turn my deal down time and time again. Turns out what I thought were wholesale deals were not deals at all!

They were mentoring me, and I in turn made them money, while establishing trust, forming business relationships, and finding out which investors could close and who were newbie's. I learned the areas, the houses, the market, the players, timing and many other things that would have taken me months doing it on my own.

When I started out as an investor, I like most had stars in my eyes and a hunger in my stomach for success. In time I began to realize that building a business takes time, knowledge, perseverance, some money (a job helps here), and dogged determination. So by starting as a bird-dog I got a good quick education. I only had to birddog a few times, then began wholesaling. The benefits I received as a birddog proved invaluable. All of the "no's" I got taught me what a "yes" or a real deal was! Hope this helps some and may you have a profitable, and fun investing career.

Tip! Relevant drugs and vaccines for the avian bird flu disease should be bought and sold at fair prices. This is in respect to the intellectual property rights of the people.

Bill Guerra (Bill in Vegas) at http://www.WillBuyAnyHouse.com has wholesaled, rehabed, flipped, and birdogged 110 houses in 26 months. Begining with no money, and lots of "elbow grease." He studied a number of real estate investing courses and found a few that were the cream of the crop which contained no "hype" but real meathods from real people, who started with no money down.

Bill was a nurse who got tired of the rat race and wanted to succeed and become his own boss. He did, and after several houses his dreams became a reality.

Bird Flu: Investment Opportunity?

Tip! No vaccine has been fully developed and tested to fight bird flu virus. Using amantadine and rimantadine, two drugs that are used to treat influenza, on those infected with the virus has not been successful.

Everyone seems to be talking about the Avian Flu, otherwise known as the H5N1 virus. We believe the virus and danger is real, but are the investment opportunities for real?

Watching the public market clamor for "Bird Flu Stocks" reminds us of the "Internet Stock" bubble.

We challenge investors to carefully think about whether the bird flu is a great threat or just a great media story. With all the media coverage, would you be surprised to learn that in the entire world, the virus has only infected a total of 194 people and killed a total of 110 people?

The current strain of the virus is not spread among humans. Every person previously infected with the virus had direct contact with sick birds (mainly chickens). However, experts seem to agree that if the virus mutates into a contagious form, it is possible that it will kill millions of people.

Tip! Many countries, specifically third world countries, do not have the proper facilities in place to take care of the bird flu problem. Without these facilities, there is a high possibility of the bird flu virus spreading.

Big problems always present tremendous investment opportunities. Investors in companies who develop the products and services that truly solve any large problem can make millions. In anticipation of large profits, it should come as no surprise that many investors have driven the market value of "bird flu stocks" to very high levels. The combined market value of these stocks now exceeds several billion dollars. Investors are assuming these companies will generate large profits.

Well, what if investors are wrong? What if the fancy solutions being touted by many of the bird flu stocks are not as important as we are led to believe?

Recently, a company in England announced that initial tests prove that a simple hand spray (which is already sold in major department stores) is more than 99.8% efficient in killing H5N1. The product was originally developed several years ago to prevent the spread of certain germs and is entirely safe for use by humans.

Tip! In times of any type of epidemic, people should not expect the Army or Armed Forces to be part of a useful response plan. An avian bird flu epidemic is no exception.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, avoiding close contact with others, covering your mouth and nose, cleaning your hands and avoiding to touch your eyes, nose or mouth - are the primary ways to prevent getting germs.

When you take a step back from all the hype, the reality is that simply wearing a medical mask and washing hands frequently, will virtually assure that a person will not get infected.

Sometimes, the simple answers provide the best solutions. If medical masks and soap are the most effective defense, what becomes of all these "bird flu stocks"?
