How to Purchase Non-Performing Notes: The Good Brokers

By Dean Engle

On How to Purchase Non-Performing Notes

If you have a good broker that you are working with in your note buying business, you will be very successful.

This past week, I received 4 phone calls from one of my Good brokers.

I had a non performing bid out and he was checking in with me.

How to Purchase Non-Performing Notes, An Example of a Good Broker

I had bid on a pool that he had brokered out for a friend of his whom he used to work with at an investment bank before getting into brokerage.

He always made it a point to ask me how my due diligence was coming along and if there was anything that I found unexpectedly.

Or he would say something like: “So which notes have you kicked out due to value, if any?”

And he always ends with something that demonstrates to me that hes working to keep me and the seller on the same page.

He would always say something like “Well, what I’ll do is to tell John what youve just shared with me in case you havent already told John, and then I’ll let him know that you’ll be contacting him again once you’ve finalized everything. When do you think that will be?

How to Purchase Non-Performing Notes - The Value of a Good Broker

A good broker is always adding value and helping the relationship. This broker never got in the way and simply improved the buying process.

He was always in the loop about my bids, he knew what they meant, why I was bidding on them, and which non performing notes I was bidding on.

He knows what the potential kick-outs (if there are any notes that I might kick out or pass on as a result of a value fade or a title issue.)

Take note of this, if your broker isnt helping you along, youre not getting value for your commission when buying your non-performing notes. - 23687

How Make Some Quick Cash Fast!

By Stephenn Louis

So many people these days are working hard to get their bills paid on time. But if you are like many, you need to find something extra in order to hit your goals in life. With that in mind, here are some tips to help you earn a little extra cash this spring and summer.

First off, however, you should try to see if you can get some cash from your normal income. What I mean by that is you can find extra money within your current budget. Cut back your cable or satellite, cell phone and maybe even your electric and gas bills. You’d be surprised just how much cash you can come up with if you sacrifice just a few creature comforts.

When you are done cutting, you should look at a way to get outside and earn money. Are you ready to knock some doors?

At this juncture, you need to get out and knock some doors and get some lawn mowing jobs. Lawn cutting will provide a very nice and steady cash flow all spring and summer long. Use some of the money you found above and buy some simple fliers that you can leave on doors and give to prospective customers. Keep the flier simple and easy with just a price, service and phone number. You want it to seem low-budget and cheap; trust me!

Next we are going to make additional money by washing and cleaning the windows at our customers’ homes. This is what is known as an “upsell” and means doubling up on the revenue. If they trust you to mow, they will trust you to wash windows for them a couple times per year also.

Finally, you can get the customers to let you clean their rain gutters in the spring and again in the fall. If you can add on this ultimate upsell, you will be making some good coin. Cleaning gutters is one of those things that people know they need to do, but they never actually do it! You can capitalize on this point of fact!

You can charge just about any amount for these services, but keep in mind not to price yourself out of the market. If you stick to around twenty dollars for each of these services, you will be just fine! Now get out and earn that cash; you can do it today! - 23687

Tips on Lowering your Seattle Auto Insurance Premium

By Steve Turner

During this hard financial time, many are searching for more affordable Seattle auto insurance coverage. Utilizing some insurance strategies and requesting a number of quotes from various insurance companies could drastically lower your insurance premium. Here is a great way to begin.

If you ever allow your insurance policy to expire you will be categorized as an uninsured driver. This will make it harder for you to find a new policy and will also greatly increase your premium. Begin shopping for new coverage 30 days before your policy expires to avoid this situation.

Insurance providers will include finance fees in the premium if you choose to pay in installments instead of all upfront. Some will charge as much as -15 for a three month period, making it cheaper to even put it on your credit card. Another incentive to pay upfront is that some providers will offer a fast payment discount for doing so.

Evaluate your policy carefully before adding features such as first accident forgiveness. Why pay more for your premium now for coverage in an accident that may never occur? Get quotes for coverage with and without this feature to determine if it will be beneficial to you.

A decrease in your premium could happen if you install an alarm or vehicle recovery system. Talk with your insurance provider to find out what system they feel is the most effective and ask about any discounts that they may offer for having such a system.

Look online for the lowest car insurance quotes. Find an insurance comparison website that will allow you to enter in your information once and receive back multiple quotes for coverage. Such comparisons will allow you to pick the best rate and policy for you.

If you utilize the suggestions above you can ensure that you are receiving the best rates. By knowing the kinds of coverage you want and the price options offered by various providers you are in the best situation. - 23687

By Tom Martens

It’s not impossible for even those in South Africa to find the right car insurance if you understand your cover options and the techniques needed to save on car insurance premiums.

Third Party Fire and Theft adds to the minimum by including cover for damage caused by theft, attempted theft and fire. Comprehensive Cover includes all of this and pays to cover damage to your own vehicle in an accident that is your fault.You can choose from three basic types of car insurance cover: Third Party, Third Party Fire and Theft and Comprehensive. Third Party is the minimum cover and pays for damage to other people’s property caused by an accident that is your fault.

The most recommended car insurance for South Africans is comprehensive cover, it happens to be the most expensive but it also completely covers their risks. Now that you have been advised on what type of coverage you need, let’s take a look at how to get that coverage at the best price. The following is ten things you can do to reduce your premiums. Every suggestion listed may not work for you, but you will be sure to find something that will help you.

First, shop around and compare quotes. You can find substantial savings just by taking this step to educate yourself about your options. It’s easy to do this research online or through a broker. You can also get a discount if you purchase your policy online. Check with individual companies for this option.

Each policy comes with a deductible, which is the amount you have to pay if you file a claim. People save money by selecting a higher deductible. Make sure if you ever file a claim you a sure to pay the deductible.

There are benefits to being a safe driver and having a good driving record. If you are safe driver and go a year without claims many insurance companies offer discounts on your premium. If your insurance company does not offer this you might want to look for one that does.

High performance and expensive car models cost more to insure due to their increased risk profile and expensive replacement parts. Be sure to include your insurance premiums in your car shopping budget. Always consider your insurance costs when you’re shopping for a vehicle.

If you live in a high crime area, your premiums will reflect that due to the increased risk of your car being stolen or hijacked. Consider moving, not only for better premiums, but for your own personal safety.

You may be eligible for a discount if you park in a locked garage or behind a locked gate overnight. By not having your car on the street, you reduce the chances of it being stolen or damaged and this, in turn, reduces the cost of your premium.

You can add security devices such as gearlocks or global tracking devices that exceed the minimum requirements and receive a discount.Most insurance companies will have minimum security requirements for the vehicles it insures.

Keep the number of people allowed to drive your car at a minimum. This helps the insurance company more accurately calculate their risk, keeping your premium lower.

As with many companies, insurance companies do have room to negotiate. Flexibility and negotiation can put a good insurance plan in your budget. The one thing you have going for you is that they want your business, and sometimes companies have to be flexible to get it. - 23687
