Unemployment Claims Continue to Rise - Create Your Own "Safety Net"
As pink slips pile up, jobless claims have become so prevalent they are literally crashing websites and phone systems as workers rush to file unemployment claims. Many systems were forced to shut down completely due to heavy volume; considering the average unemployment wages are less than $400 per week or roughly $1,600 per month (or less), one might wonder if there is a better way to create your own safety net.
As it turns out...there is! Short Sales offer investors of any background the ability to take their financial future into their own hands rather than stand in line waiting for the government to provide minimal income replacement. It doesn't require a lot of money, time or extensive training to create your own safety net with an income stream as high or low as desired. Short sales
In less time than you might spend on "hold" when applying for a Michigan unemployment benefits (average hold time of four hours according to some clients), you could be well on your way to submitting an offer on your first short sale transaction worth thousands - or even tens of thousands. With a straight 12 months of job losses, 2008 is shaping up to be the worst on record in over 50 years.
Learn how to create your own safety net with these short sale:
1. Do it daily. Each and every day do something toward growing your short sale empire. It doesn't need to be a lot but you should get into the mindset of profit and success.
2. Try something new. Once you master a formula that works (like the one provided by ShortSalesRiches) then continue to refine it and add to your portfolio of tools and resources.
3. Expand. Begin small then build a base by incorporating new areas, different types of real estate or other potentially profitable relationships.
4. Educate. Never stop learning. Find a mentor and learn from others as you go along. Share your knowledge with others along the way.
5. Add a subscription. Find a source of reliable, pertinent and up-to-date information like that provided by the ShortSalesRiches.com/blog to keep a pulse on the trends.
6. Query like crazy. Set a personal "outreach goal" for the next month to revitalize and jump-start this year's success.
7. Embrace the Internet. Learn how to use it then stick to it. If you don't have the time to dedicate to doing it all yourself then hire someone to help. It's an investment in success.
8. Don't be fearful. During tough economic times there is a tendency for people to run for cover and settle for less - often much less - rather than bet on their own skills and tenacity.
9. Get organized. Stop procrastinating and take the time needed to put everything in its place, set up the tools you need and start using them.
10. Become a bit of a braggart! Yes, when you have a success it is important to pat yourself on the back...just be selective. While you are making thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on short sales, don't expect your unemployed brother in law to be thrilled for you. Instead, teach him how to join you in creating a long term safety net and life you love.
