My New Careeer As a Ship Owner in Martigues
2008-06-21 14:55:00 I was waiting for my ship to come in! Luckily I was twiddling my thumbs in the Mediterranean town of Martigues (referred to by the locals as the Venise de Provence - a little hopefully perhaps), 30 degrees of luxury sun and nothing else to do except enjoy it!As I was battling along in the midday sun, probably suffering from premature sunstroke with the shock of displacing myself from the cold of Edinburgh and whilst gasping for some much needed water I suddenly espied my new life ahead of me!I am now a proud ship manager/boat owner with my first vessel on my books - be it as it may that I am owner, captain, chief, cook and bottle washer! I admit, it is not the best of boats, it is more under water than out and look as if it has been like that for some time now! I doth fear that should I pump the water I will find no bottom remaining, that should I leave it lying there till market rates rise I might come back one day to find that it is no longer and I fear that I may have been overch...
There is a need for GMAIL owner search
2008-06-06 22:38:00 Searching everywhereLately I have been getting requests for blog posts from folks using a gmail account. You cannot find out who owns a Gmail account, there are no Gmail directories to search like Yahoo or the old AOL. There are a number of different email search providers on the internet, but their information usually only provides the person's address and phone number, not email. As a general rule, any website that asks for money to find email addresses is probably a scam, or will provide you with outdated email addresses at best. Gmail is Google's free mail service, I like the mass storage, up to 9GB now. Gmail takes the features of Google's search engine and builds the SE into the email, so you can do searches on the web and through your emails. Gmail has some very good security. Is there a way to find out who owns a gmail account? NO NO. That is not the answer I want to here. Today is the age of stolen computers with your personal information on it and mass avenu...

Great young mare looking for her forever owner!
2008-05-27 04:45:00 Belle is a lovely little mare. She is built very well, has great feet and wonderful personality. She is a protector of those she loves.She stepped between myself and a very angry horse and would not move until the other horse left me alone. She has that puppy dog personality, she loves to be involved in whatever your are doing. I think she would pick up a hammer and help if she could! She is green-broke. We ride her in a loose-ring snaffle, or a halter and lead clipped to it. She is easy-going and laid back. She goes thru water, has been ridden along highways with big rigs running up and down it. Nothing phases her. She will make someone a WONDERFUL partner do great at any discipline. I have found that I like geldings better than mares, not her fault just my preference. Pardon the picture with her winter fuzzies. I will be updating that picture ASAP!!!

Office owner Maguire a good longterm bet?
2008-05-21 09:01:00 Michael Knott, a senior analyst at Green Street Advisors in Newport Beach, thinks Nelson Rising, the new boss at troubled office-tower owner Maguire Properties Inc., will turn this O.C.-heavy real estate investment trust around — but it could take awhile. Rising took over the reins of the company Saturday after founder Robert F. Maguire III stepped down following his failed attempt to buy 75% of the firm. The L.A.-company owns 17 properties in Orange County, a market that’s now seeing double-digit vacancies due to the mortgage meltdown and a slowing economy. “Nelson Rising, the new CEO, is a positive,” said Knott, who specializes in office REITs. Knott noted that Rising knows something about turnarounds. In the ’90s, Rising brought Catellus Development Corp., the development spinoff of Southern Pacific Railroad, back from a slumping real estate market. Knott said Rising also has a major incentive to turn Maguire around. “If he gets the stock pri...

Bigger Pockets if you Wholesale to Owner Occupants
2008-05-10 22:27:00 If you are looking for bigger pockets RIGHT NOW, your concentration should be focused on wholesaling real estate deals to buyers who are looking to occupy the property, and helping them secure the financing needed to make to deal happen. If you haven?t become best friends with a mortgage broker then your business may be suffering. In my opinion, Mortgage Brokers play the single most important position on the field of real estate investing. I am pretty sure most of you investors have very reliable brokers in place to handle your acquisition needs; but what about the needs of your owner occupant buyers. Become the one-stop shop for buyers and allow your earnings to run on cruise control. The ideal scenario is to acquire a property via contract for 50 to 60 cents on the dollar and AS-IS, of course. Have your mortgage broker procure a 100% loan for your buyer at 80% of market value and look to generate a hefty cash now assignment fee. Lucky for us, FHA goes up to $700K. So a ho...
Owner being foreclosed on
2008-05-09 18:19:00 I am a property manager and this is a first! We currently manage 13 rental properties for one of our owners and upon showing one of the 3 vacant ones, we found that the locks had been changed and there were stickers all over the door. We then checked the other 2 vacant units- same thing. Now the owner has told us that he has 'worked something out' with the mortgage company and that we should 'feel comfortable renting his remaining 3'. In fact, the owner is about to close on 2 more properties.If we place tenants in these units, and the same thing happens again, where do we stand as a property management company? I understand the market is pretty bad and there are a lot of foreclosures going on but we have to protect ourselves as well.Any advice would be appreciated.
Become A Proud Car Owner With New Car Loans
2008-05-08 16:20:00 By Ashley Lewis It may not be possible for a salaried man or a middle class person to save money so as to pay the whole cost of a car in one go. So he may think that he can never buy a car. But this is not true. A person who cannot pay the whole amount with his own money can get his car financed through new car loans. This will make it an easy method to remove his monetary burden gradually. Before availing new car loans, the borrower should first decide what model and make he wants to buy. On the basis of the initial planning, the borrower applies for the new car loans. The amount is borrowed for a term of 2-7 years. Secured form of new car loans involves keeping the car as collateral for the loan. New car loans can also be borrowed in the unsecured form if the borrower does not want to keep the car as collateral for the loan. Although the rates offered are comparatively higher than secured loan, it is still a good read more

Bad Credit Used Car Loans: You Are A Car Owner Now
2008-05-06 16:32:00 By Ashley Lewis You might be thinking that you can not own a car until and unless the sword of bad credit is swinging over your head. Though the finance does not permit you to purchase a new and expensive car, yet you can be a car owner by opting for a used car, which is in a good condition with the help of bad credit used car loans. Bad credit used car loans can be regarded as the only ray of hope for bad credit persons of being a car owner. Bad creditors can borrow the required funds by applying for bad credit used car loans. This loan scheme is bifurcated into secured and unsecured form which in-turn makes it easy for persons to obtain the loan. But as you are already in a crucial stage so, following few steps will indeed be beneficial for you. It is very often seen that persons do not estimate the value of car and the required amount of money. To act in such a haphazard way might create repayment burden. So, try to avoid such mistakes and scrutinize the money required. More...
