Little Market

Little Market

Have you ever sat quietly in a room and said to yourself, it's time for some long term thinking and planning?

Most of us spend our days running from "have-to-do" to "have-to-do," never giving (or making) time to think any further ahead than tomorrow, the next day or maybe even the next week. The best we can do is make sure the car has enough gas and we have our schedule in the palm of our hand...either written or electronic...depending upon our age.

Most of my time usually is spent thinking about Probate Real Estate.

However, this past week was different and a perfect example of what I am talking about. The "Darling Bride" Sharon has a birthday the first part of June every year just like clockwork. Since it was also Father's Day weekend, and we just finished staining our deck, we decided Saturday would be "party time."

I had to get the invitations designed and printed (on the computer of course), get them mailed out, fire up the BBQ after its winter rest (should that read rust?), get the blender out for the Ole' Ole' margaritas, bake a huge birthday cake, make salads by the dozens (when did vegan become so popular?), get the ribs ready for us non-vegan party goers, try to remember where in the garage all the party stuff is stored, make endless trips to the store to buy the stuff you know you already have in the garage but can't find, plus make sure there's room for everyone who is spending the weekend.

WOW! All the details! Fun, but definitely short term thinking. Right?

What if you spent an hour or two...maybe three...thinking about a year or two down the road? What about five years down the road? What about maybe even ten years? Yikes, that's scary talk Mr. Mead! Well, here's where I'm going.

I've had a few questions recently from my subscribers wondering what the market is for Probate houses once they buy them. Have you thought that yourself?

Well my standard answer always has been and always will be, "If you buy them right, you can always sell them." That's 100% true. It was true yesterday, it is true today and it will be true tomorrow. However, let's stop for moment and look at this a little differently.

What if you decided that rather than sell your Probate purchase, you were going to hold onto it while the current real estate market corrects itself?

As a sidelight, I hope you all realize this is probably the best buyers' market in a long time, which makes Probate purchases even more attractive. This is why you are seeing so many "experts" jumping on the Probate bandwagon and offering to sell you expensive Probate courses.

Anyway, back to my idea of buying a Probate property and holding it for a year or two or three...or maybe even ten years. Now that's long term, right?

Do you realize that if you were to make one small Probate purchase for let's say $175,000, and it appreciated only 5% each year for the next ten years, you would make over $90,000?

How about if you were able to only do ONE of those a year for the next ten years. That's only ONE Probate deal per year! Can you get some idea how well off you would be in ten years? With little work and some small market appreciation, you could have a million dollar portfolio. All from one little Probate purchase per year.

I hope you can see I am using very conservative numbers for my examples because I don't want to blow you out of the water with gigantic numbers you can't get your brain around. You can use any numbers you want that apply to your area.

So, can you see what a little long term thinking can do? It can make you lots and lots of money is what it can do.

So drop your hot dogs and start mailing your letters. You have to be doing some long term thinking.

Unfortunately, I'm still on the short term thinking program.

You know what happens when you have a bunch of people over for somewhere between four hours and four days? You immediately get in the garbage business. We've got these huge black plastic bags stacked everywhere. I'd better check to make sure we don't have anybody napping in one. You'd think we had a Yankee-Red Sox game in our back yard! I need some of those flashing yellow lights for the top of my SUV/Garbage truck. Better get out my owners manual and check my weight limits.

In the meantime, if you still are waiting to start your Probate real estate business...now's the time to take some action!

The Little Book That Beats the Market $19.95 Two years in MBA school won't teach you how to double the market's return. Two hours with The Little Book That Beats the Market will. In The Little Book , Joel Greenblatt, Founder and Managing Partner at Gotham Capital (with average annualized returns of 40% for over 20 years), does more than simply set out the basic principles for successful stock market investing. He provides a "magic formula" that is easy to use and makes buying good companies at bargain prices automatic. Though the formula has been extensively tested and is a breakthrough in the academic and professional world, Greenblatt explains it using 6th grade math, plain language and humor. You'll learn how to use this low risk method to beat the market and professional managers by a wide margin. You'll also learn how to view the stock market, why success eludes almost all individual and professional investors, and why the formula will continue to work even after everyone "knows" it.

This Little Kiddy Went to Market $36.95 This Little Kiddy Went to Market investigates the way that corporations are targeting younger children with a barrage of advertising and marketing designed to turn them into hyperconsumers who define themselves by what they have rather than who they are. The book argues that school reforms, driven by corporate needs, are largely to blame. It begins by analysing school reforms in English-speaking nations – such as the UK, North America, Australia and New Zealand – and uncovers the ways in which business coalitions have persuaded governments to turn schools into competing business enterprises which suit corporate ends rather than the interests of their children.

This Little Church Went To Market $13.99 "The most successful arm of the evangelical church in recent years, in terms of growth, money and prestige, has been the market-driven (seeker-sensitive, new paradigm, user-friendly) church. Because of this success these churches are being mimicked all over the country, and indeed, the world. But is this church fully dressed? Is she outfitted in the biblically prescribed robes of evangelism, edification, worship and instruction? Or, is she wrapped in rags composed of empty human philosophy stitched together with bits and pieces of truth? If the latter is true, why have so few seemed to notice? It is the intent of this book to attempt to answer some of these questions."

The Little Book That Still Beats the Market $19.95 In 2005, Joel Greenblatt published a book that is already considered one of the classics of finance literature. In The Little Book that Beats the Market— a New York Times bestseller with 300,000 copies in print — Greenblatt explained how investors can outperform the popular market averages by simply and systematically applying a formula that seeks out good businesses when they are available at bargain prices. Now, with a new Introduction and Afterword for 2010, The Little Book that Still Beats the Market updates and expands upon the research findings from the original book. Included are data and analysis covering the recent financial crisis and model performance through the end of 2009. In a straightforward and accessible style, the book explores the basic principles of successful stock market investing and then reveals the author’s time-tested formula that makes buying above average companies at below average prices automatic. Though the formula has been extensively tested and is a breakthrough in the academic and professional world, Greenblatt explains it using 6 th grade math, plain language and humor. He shows how to use his method to beat both the market and professional managers by a wide margin. You’ll also learn why success eludes almost all individual and professional investors, and why the formula will continue to work even after everyone “knows” it. While the formula may be simple, understanding why the formula works is the true key to success for investors. The book will take readers on a step-by-step journey so that they can learn the principles of value investing in a way that will provide them with a long term strategy that they can understand and stick with through both good and bad periods for the stock market. As the Wall Street Journal stated about the original edition, “Mr. Greenblatt…says his goal was to provide advice that, while sophisticated, could be understood and followed by his five children, ages 6 to 15. They are in luck. His ‘Little Book’ is one of the best, clearest guides to value investing out there.”
