The purchase of a home is a exciting time in anyone's life, especially if it is your first home. Naturally you want to find the best home that suits all of your needs, and your budget. This is a purchase that requires planning on every aspect. The last thing you ever want to do is impulse buy a home, only to find out later that there are problems with the home or that it does not suit your needs.
OK. Now its list time. Sit down with pen and paper and start planning out what you need in a home. Don't be afraid to think big, but stay within reason. Remember if you think you need a pool and cabana but can only spend $150,000.00 chances are you will be disappointed. Things like number of rooms, or a fenced yard, or proximity to work and schools should be the priority at this stage. You can also make a list of things that you would like to have in a home. This is where you can let your imagination run wild.
Consider all the aspects of the area you are planning to move into. Talk to some of the people that live there. Ask if they like living in the area. Try to find out if there are any problems with it. The long-term residents are a great source of information, and if they are to be your neighbors, get to know them! Also be sure to find out about the schools and recreational programs in the area if you have children. Another good thing to look into is the kind of commute you can expect to deal with getting to work every day. If there are major congestion problems between the area and the home then you might want to consider a different location.
With these things in mind you can now begin to look at the available homes. When you have found something that suits your needs and wants, its time to start your homework on the home itself. Have a thorough inspection conducted to determine the structural integrity of the home and the condition of the plumbing and wiring. Also have the home inspected for mold, as mold can cause health problems and structural problems in the long term. Never forget; this is likely the largest purchase you will ever make. You can not afford to not be picky!
Ideal Home Range Napkins
The bad news is 95 % of all new businesses fail within a short time.
The good news is the home business industry has reached $427 Billion annually, and is growing at an amazing rate. And, 80% of all millionaires today are self made.
So, there is a chance your home business will succeed but only after you have given careful thought as to what that business will be.
Here are some of the attributes of an ideal home business that will improve your chances of success.
The Ideal Home Business:
1- Sell to the Entire World
The ideal business must have an unlimited global market, not just local or regional exposure.
2- Is not cyclical
Your product/service does not rely on cycles to be in demand. The demand is constant, regardless of time, or price.
3- Product is Original
Your product must be unique. It cannot be easily substituted or copied.
4- Minimal Labor Requirements
A large portion of capital is not tied up in high labor costs.
5- Low Overhead
Total overhead cost must be minimal. No high priced rent, power, labor, shipping, etc.
6- Does Not Require a Large Cash Outlay
The ideal business does not tie up capital in all kinds of equipment.
7- Cash Only
The business should be cash only. No money is tied up, or lost, in accounts receivable, and bad debts.
8- Free of Government Regulations
No business will ever be 100% free of all government regulations, but these should be kept minimal.
9- Portable
The ideal business should be easy to relocate, and can be operated from anywhere in the world.
10- Intellectual Satisfaction
It must be a business that challenges your intellect in order to provide self-satisfaction.
11- Free Time
The ideal business should allow you to have lots of free time for other interests that are important to you.
12- Unlimited Income
Your income is not limited to your direct output. In other words, you work less...but earn more.
13- Easy to Learn
The ideal home business should be one that is fairly easy for an ordinary person to learn, no matter what their age, or level of education.
So far I have found only one business that fits the above criteria, and that is trading the futures markets.
