Sell House - What Is The Best Way For You To Sell Your House?

Sell House - What Is The Best Way For You To Sell Your House?
Do you need to sell your house? Do you know what option you
are going to use to sell houses? There are a couple of
different ways that you can get your home sold.

You just need to make sure that you check into each option
before you decide which one would be the best one for you.

Here are some of the options you can use to sell houses of
any type.

One: You can try to sell your house yourself. This will be
something that you have to learn all about before you try
it yourself. Otherwise, you could be hurting the sale of
your house more than you are helping with the sale of your
house.

You will have a lot of work to do because you will have to
fill out paperwork, list your home everywhere you can and
take care of the legalities when you do sell houses that
you own. So before you try this you will want to do some
research and find out all about it before you decide to do
it.

Two: This is the option that most people use when they are
trying to sell houses. You can go to a real estate agent
and get them to help you. They will be able to take care of
the paperwork, listing and legalities for you. So this will
be a lot less work for you.

However, you need to make sure that you take the time to
check into all of the different real estate agents that are
in your local area that can help you. You have to make sure
that you are using the real estate agent that will benefit
you the most.

Three: You can use one of the many different Quick Sale
Agencies. This will help you to sell your home faster than
any other way but before you use this option you will need
to make sure that you check into it. Do some research and
check out as many of the Quick Sale Agencies as you can
before you decide to use one.

These are the three options that are used the most when
people are trying to sell houses. You want to make sure you
check into each option before you decide which route you
are going to go.

This is important because you want to sell your house but
you want to make sure you do it with the least amount of
hassle for you and you want to make sure you get a good
price for your home.

So don't rush into any decision about which route to go.
Check into everything first.

Credit Card Processing and Better Working Capital Management

Credit Card Processing and Better Working Capital Management
Business owners should always be alert for reducing
operational costs, but this is even more important in
challenging economic circumstances such as those emerging
recently. A joint credit card processing and working
capital management strategy will be a vital part of such
cost-reduction efforts.

Credit card processing is often one of the most overlooked
working capital management issues for a business owner. An
effective processing program can eliminate many credit card
factoring difficulties by implementing appropriate working
capital management cost-reduction alternatives.

Credit card financing improvements can provide dual working
capital business loan benefits by both eliminating credit
card processing problems and providing improved cash flow
by enhanced management of a business cash advance program
and business financing strategies. The total cost benefits
of combining programs in this manner can be impressive and
valuable in efforts to increase business profitability.

As I noted in an earlier commercial loan article, for any
business that accepts credit cards as a method of payment,
a business cash advance (obtained via credit card
processing and credit card financing) is a critical working
capital financing tool that is often overlooked. Even
thriving businesses frequently need more capital than they
can borrow via a business loan from a bank. However, what
is typically even more overlooked by many business owners
is the opportunity to reduce their operating costs at the
same time that they obtain additional cash.

Credit card receivables financing is an excellent
alternative to consider when a merchant is seeking a
short-term business loan, an unsecured commercial loan and
improved strategies for credit card processing and
management. However, there are a number of working capital
management difficulties to be avoided with all of these
programs. As with most successful business financing
strategies, there will typically be only a few lenders that
are effective at properly executing the combined tasks.

Because of this, the prudent choice of an appropriate
provider of credit card processing and credit card
factoring is of critical importance to any business owner
that accepts credit cards. To help demonstrate which
providers to avoid, I have written a special report which
identifies ten key problems which should be avoided.

For merchants either displeased with their credit card
processing services or wondering if cost reductions are
achievable, a receivables financing program which
eliminates all of the ten critical working capital
management difficulties described above should be seriously
considered. One of the key reasons for evaluating these
functions in this joint fashion is that the low-cost
providers of the best business cash advance services will
probably be using the lowest-cost and best providers of
processing services.

In many cases, the best and lowest-cost providers of credit
card processing are simply not available to the average
business owner other than as part of a working capital
management plan encompassing both factoring and processing.
However, the economies of scale realized from the
combination of these two services will almost always be
worth the coordination efforts.

Merchants should not lose sight of the substantial working
capital management advantages which are likely to accrue to
their business by effectively combining credit card
financing and credit card processing services. As described
above, reduced costs and cash flow improvements are major
goals of successful funding alternatives, and the prudent
coordination of financing strategies should accomplish both
of these difficult goals together.

The maximum benefits produced by the coordinated working
capital management strategies described in this overview
will accrue to businesses which are seeking to raise
additional capital as well as reduce operating costs. While
these joint goals are likely to be desirable for any
successful business, the approaches noted here will only be
available to businesses which accept credit cards as a
regular form of payment for their products or services.

Up To $250,000, Cash Merchant Advance Loan Program

Up To $250,000, Cash Merchant Advance Loan Program
The initial question a lot of people are asking is what is
a merchant cash advance? An established business in
existence for one year or more with visa and mastercard
sales can qualfiy for a loan or a merchant cash advance on
their past activity up to $150,000 from a financial
institution and $250,000 or more per location from a true
merchant cash advance company. The monthly average of their
visa and mastercard sales x 1.5 will be a qualifying amount
that the lender will fund up to. Here is an example for
you, assuming your business averages monthly $50,000 for
visa and mastercard sales over the last year. The financial
institution will use that $50,000 x 1.5, therefore your
lending base will be $75,000 for this example. Pretty neat,
bet you didn't know these programs were even out there.

There are many merchant cash advance or loan programs
available. Some are in a the form of a loan and others are
in the form of a merchant cash advance but the formulas for
lending qualification come from the past mastercard/visa
sales. Merchant cash advance programs can lend up to
$250,00 to $300,000 and their rates of interest can range
from 25-40% per annum. Loans regulated by banks are
controlled by the banking rules and usually charge lower
rates. Obviously, it is important to compare the programs
and understand your carrying costs, time to repay the
monies back and any other risk factors that you might have.

Other questions to consider are the following, what kind of
businesses qualfiy for these type of programs? The
following is just a few that would fall under these lending
qualifications:

limousine service, automobile centers, beauty and nail
salons, dry cleaners, gas stations, retailers of all kinds,
restaurants, bar/nightclubs, distributors,dental/medical
offices and service providers.

The next question is what are some of features of these
merchant cash advances and loan programs:

* Loans or merchant cash advances range from $5,000 to
$250,000.
* No tax returns, Financial Statements or Asset
Documentation required.
* Up To One Year to Pay back the loan, merchant cash
advances between 6-8 months.
* No large fixed monthly payments, you pay a percentage of
your future credit card sales so the monies are repaid with
the flow of your business cycle.
* Fast Approval, Within two days. Funded within seven
business days.
* No Hidden Charges and no late Fees.
* Poor Personal Credit Accepted. This is not FICO SCORE
Driven, so credit is not an issue, Prior Bankruptcies No
Problem.
* To Pre-qualify, you must own your business for at least
one year.
* To Pre- qualify, you must average $3,000 monthly credit
card sales.

The next obvious question, is how do we repay back the loan
or cash merchant advance? It is from the future card sales,
a small portion is paid back each day to pay back the
lender. This is important because there are no balloon
payments or monthly payments to consider. The lender
calculates a small repayment per day that can last up to
one year.

How low is the permitted Fico score? It could be as low as
500, but each situation stands by itself.

Additionally, as this loan or cash merchant advance is paid
off, your company can reapply for additional funds and
continue the process again. This is a great financing
program for businesses that have seasonal cash flow or need
to use the money for any business purpose, the decision is
yours.

In conclusion, there are many different types of programs
out there, be careful and compare the pros and cons of each
one and see which one is right for your Company.

Wealthy Middle-Class Poor and the Differences in How They Handle Their Money

Wealthy Middle-Class Poor and the Differences in How They Handle Their Money
Believe it or not, middle class people are bigger
spendthrifts than their wealthy counterparts, spending more
for cars, clothes boats and other big ticket items than the
rich. Don't believe it? Well, it's true, according to
Thomas J. Stanley, Ph. D. and William D. Danko, Ph. D., who
wrote the surprising 1996 book "The Millionaire Next Door."
Danko and Stanley studied the spending habits of
millionaires and found that they're usually exceedingly
frugal, buying off-the-rack clothes, driving used cars and
looking for deals wherever they can find them.

According to these authors, rich people are big on saving,
routinely socking away about 20 percent of their money into
investments and savings accounts. Very few drive
current-model cars, and almost never lease them (unless
it's done through their company). Most also have what Danko
and Stanley call a "go to hell fund," enough accumulated
wealth to last them for 10 to 15 years should they leave
their jobs - jobs which most of them work at an average of
45 to 55 hours a week. Most millionaires buy their suits
from mid-range department stores, spending more money on
their children's education than on the trappings of wealth.

But if you look at middle class people, you'll often see
what's termed "conspicuous consumption" at work - a
brand-new, leased SUV in the driveway, designer labels
hanging in the closet, and credit-card debt up the wazoo,
because the middle class income is stretched to its limit
to pay for these luxuries. The difference between wealthy
and middle class is one of income certainly, but often the
biggest divide comes when you examine their net worth. The
wealthy become rich - and stay rich - by living well below
their means and investing their money for the future. A
middle-class family, on the other hand, often undermines
its own potential for wealth by overspending compared to
what they earn, because they're concerned with measuring up
to their neighbors in terms of how big their house is, what
sort of car they drive and the price tag on the clothes
they wear.

One of the biggest financial challenges for those on the
less privileged end of the spectrum is escaping from lower
class income and spending, and elevating themselves to
middle class. When you're fighting to keep your children
fed and to pay the rent on time, it's difficult to conceive
of how you can possibly invest any of your much-needed
income for the future. Even the most frugal of
working-class families find their resources stretched to
the limit - everything that they need and buy costs the
same as it does for people with higher incomes, so
everything from gasoline to food to home appliances takes a
much larger chunk, percentage-wise, out of their net income.

Can spending habits among lower income households be
improved, though? Absolutely. As with middle-income people,
there's often a belief that they "need" certain items to
fit in as average Americans - so they buy cars at high
interest rates, video game systems for the kids, microwave
ovens and brand name sneakers, leaving no money left over
for savings.

The biggest difference between the wealthy and the
not-wealthy is, it turns out, how tight they are with their
money - the rich are better savers. Income plays a part, of
course, but if you want to live a more comfortable life in
the future, cutting back on your expenses today can go a
long way towards making that dream a reality. Live within
your income, reduce your credit debt, and spend wisely.
