Gun Barrel City, TX (PRWEB) June 14, 2011

This (Sentryman) is irreverent and droll, clever, bombastic and sometimes off-the-wall funny, yet humility is also a strong force in his arsenal. These quick, sharp vignettes in this summer read are more like perusing a personal journal, candid conversations with himself playing all the parts, including Devils advocate and Grand Inquisitor, with a different take on everything; he takes no prisoners. One can quickly read a chapter and bookmark; pick back up and youre discussing something entirely different with him on a wide variety of issues; he dispenses grandfatherly wisdom, tips, quips and some surprisingly intuitive practical advice at the drop of a past participle.

This newly updated nonfiction book with extra chapters seeks to end U.S. Government Red Tape with a Patriots Proposition 86. It Was Never About The Black Guy, It Was About That Guy! And Washingtons Pyrates and Snakesss. The Final Solution Fire Them All??, by Everi Mann (Sentryman) is now available.

An interesting fact about this volatile underground book with few reviews, perhaps in short supply somewhere, it demands prices in excess of full retail for some used copies, as well as for new by some vendors around the globe. By an undisclosed reviewer.

Sentryman clearly states that he wants this book to start a revolution, A bloodless insurrection, a citizens uprising within a Constitution fewer politicians embrace today, with the same ferocity and passion to act out Finchs plea in Network; we’re just not going to take it anymore! No passion play and deadly serious, this time the people will win with an old secret weapon: Prop 86, to eighty-six the government to take-back our country for all Americans; no matter your political persuasion, its easy, cheap and painless, states Sentryman.

“Im not sure if this mans ideas are too far out there or it has been too long since I read anyone express themselves so plainly. Sentryman personalizes every argument that easily defines the point he is trying to make. It cant all be that easy but this gentle man thinks it could and should be in government if citizens paid attention and got more involved. He laments; will this nation ever again be all for one, or remain 47% gimme-gimme and growing, continually reminding us, who we once were, who we are supposed to be, and what we may become if not careful, Sentryman forewarns.

As for 9% unemployment we all know is above 15%, wink-wink, slim prospects for Real Estate or private business, the 2nd year without a budget as Treasurys 24/7 lithographs shatter the Deadbeats Ceiling helping support foreign $ 4. gas, the Chinese are eating our lunch & we’re eating Kung-pow Take-out. Well, the Emperor has no clothes!”…Sentryman

“And this Administrations single greatest accomplishment for reelection is the death of (1) lone terrorist by once touted bad guys, the Bush sponsored military, just might say more about us complacent Americans than Allahu Akbar only means; Hey Cabby in Germany. Im impressed! Holy Jihad Batman, bye-bye Jerusalem, Sentryman waxes. youtube.com/watch?v=BmGe_lVYxDw&feature=player_embedded

This book is not just about politics though, it offers some history, philosophy, psychology and a little whimsy, in addition to faith and brimstone, hope and yes, charity. With a resource guide for some alarming videos for context, he is sometimes as subtle as a sledgehammer for affect, but then deftly as a surgeons scalpel he fillets his opponents, a perusal of the chapter titles will even denote.

No one should ever again blindly rely upon elected representatives deaf to safeguarding our freedoms, or some savior to save our bacon. Ending the Congressional employees death-grip on their citizen-employers wallets is what this battle plan is all about, Sentryman professes.

Real estate was a big deal several years ago. Many people have made a lot of money and still to this day people are making a killing in real estate. As a matter of fact, back in 2001 when I started my mortgage career, I made a decent income as a mortgage processor, closer and underwriter. I wasn’t earning as much as the real estate agents, brokers and loan officers but the money was too good to be true especially for someone new to the industry. Now in 2011 real estate is still at an all time low. Many have left the industry in search of something different and some have stayed hoping the industry will pick up again. Eventually it will but not anytime soon. Today’s agents are struggling to make ends meet as sells are on sales, so my question to them is do you want residual income on top of your sales.

Now I know some of you are wondering what in the hell is he talking about, real estate agents are not based on residual income. What if I told you it is possible and you wouldn’t have to give up your real estate career? In my opinion I think it would increase your drive to sell houses more than ever. You wouldn’t have to do more than what you are doing now. All you would have to do is provide a suggestion.

Imagine selling a house to a happy buyer and then offering them the essentials that everyone wants and needs when moving into a new home. I’m talking about energy, internet, satellite tv, security system, home phone, and maybe even cellular service. Imagine offering these services and getting paid a residual income every month. To make it very simple, when you obtain a customer that buys and pays for a service every month you make a commission off of their monthly bill. All you had to do is recommend the services and how simple is that.

I’m sure some of the agents reading this article are saying this is just another money making scheme and that it will never work. Well I can be the first to tell you that this is not a scheme and it works like clock work for many people today. They are thrilled to take advantage of an opportunity like this. So are you going to be one of the doubters that sit on the sidelines or are you going to be a player?

In closing I will provide minimal info of what I’m talking about. The company that will make this all possible has been around for over 18 years and continues to grow every year and it has been endorsed by a well known billionaire. Calling all real estate agents! If you truly want more info or you are looking to get started asap then all you have to do is ask for your residual income.

Even though I have been hanging out in Hampton Roads Virginia for the last 6 years I would like to see Detroit make a turnaround.  But no one seems to have any love for Detroit anymore.  It’s like “Detroit, why, who cares about Detroit”.  Most are indifferent to the fate of Detroit.  But I’m from the Midwest, and I always like to see the cities there do well.  Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cincinnati, Akron, Dayton, Youngstown, Flint, Pontiac, Ann Arbor, Canton, Toledo, Madison, Milwaukee.  There are also those fringe areas like Oklahoma City and Kansas City that may or may not be part of the Midwest, depending on who you ask.  I am sure that I have missed more than a few.  We have a lot of cities in the Midwest, a lot.  

There are a lot of cities with more than 100,000.  In some cases, there are suburbs of cities with more than 100,000.  But this is a tough area to live in.  It isn’t that the Midwest is an old area of the country; most of the cities there are newer and younger than their counterparts on the East coast.  It isn’t the the Midwest is rural; the cities are just as dense and urban as what you will find anywhere else, enough for most people, we have nothing on New Jersey and New York, but it is good enough.  It isn’t even that the Midwest is monolithic and racially segregated; other minority groups have moved to the Midwest since I’ve left.  You will find large ethnic neighborhoods in a lot of cities.

The problem with the Midwest has always been the energy, or lack of it.  Just not like what you will find on the East Coast or the West Coast.  A different vibe, and one that is difficult to understand unless you grew up here.  Not as laid back, but not as frenzied or frantic either.  None of that seemed to matter when we had jobs.  Where do people live now?  Where are people moving to, if they don’t move from here?  State capitals, Chicago, okay but those cities have always had a lot of people.  Suburbia perhaps, well okay but what is really going on.  

You hear about the South, first Atlanta then Miami then Charlotte.  You hear about the East Coast, New York, then Boston or perhaps Washington DC (which is or is not Mid-Atlantic, which is or is not East Coast, depending on who you ask).  You even hear about Pittsburgh, which may or may not be part of the Midwest.  So we hear about these places, and we hear good news.  Then when people talk about the Midwest there is never any good news.  People are indifferent about Chicago; people still live there, but there is plenty of bad news.

So what do you think about when the Midwest comes to mind?  Failing school systems, bankruptcy (or close to bankruptcy), intervention by the State.  Violence, urban decay, poverty.  Empty factories, deteriorating infrastructure, in the case of Detroit, urban farming perhaps?  Detroit was once the second largest city in the Midwest, and the Midwest used to have the second largest city in the country.  Now Detroit has fallen behind Columbus and Indianapolis.  It is the fourth largest city in the Midwest now.  On top of that it does not have the options that the other three cities do; yes Chicago is still landlocked, but they are still building vertically there.  Now you can argue that Detroit has larger metropolitan areas than those cities, whatever; the exodus to suburbia has never been a good thing for any city, ever, in the history of this country.  Detroit’s issues are to the inner core of that city; I never understood the consolation to be found in having a large suburban population to prevent you from focusing on the issues that your city has. Every city in the Midwest has a large, and growing, metropolitan area, but then again so do cities all across America.  Suburbs are just a nice way to benefit from the city without absorbing all of the problems of that city.  

Detroit was always a large city.  At 143 square miles it is a huge place.  Unlike cities like Indianapolis and Columbus, that is not through annexation, but the sheer size of the city.  Those cities also have a large land mass as well.  For many years though the only city in the Midwest that was larger, in population or in land mass, was Chicago.  That was the only thing Detroit had to concern itself with, the only regional competition that existed.  Until 1970, Detroit did not have a lot of competition in general, as it was the 5th largest city in America.  

So what could happen to Detroit?  Clearly the city is in a place where people may no longer take it seriously.  Around here the size of a city is everything.  It isn’t the East Coast or the West Coast where it is just enough to live in an enormous metropolitan area, and it doesn’t really matter where you live.  Our metropolitan areas do not touch each other, our cities have not grown into each other and each city and its metropolitan area can be an entirely different place from the other.  There is that pride of “this is my city, and this is how many people live here”, bragging rights.  Yet Detroit continues to fall.  The good news is that there is a long fall from number 4 to number 5, Milwaukee has fewer than 600,000 at 594,833.  But if history is any indication Detroit will make that fall and at this rate, 500,000 might be a blessing in disguise by the next census.  

Detroit would still be considered a large city at that point.  The irony of this is that it is not as though Detroit is sitting around and waiting until the last minute to try to affect change; no one would ever accuse people of waking up once the population was down to 300,000.  At the same time, it would appear as though too little is being done too late.  They are already talking about closing down the People Mover; a light rail which existed since the late eighties that never truly took off as it should.  Detroit needs viable options, and people should be able to get around that city without an automobile, but with a lot of people gone, who can really afford light rail?  In any event the closure of the people mover will definitely be seen as yet another failure of the city.

An article in the July 2011 issue of Ebony magazine shows a hopeful Mayor Dave Bing.  He states that the city has more theater seats than any other city outside of New York and that Detroit has three major casinos and every major sport.  Yes we know, Detroit has a lot of teams, they have the theater and they have major casinos, perhaps more than any other city in the Midwest.  Any self-respecting Midwesterner would know these things.  There are a lot of great things about Detroit that would surprise someone who is not from the Midwest, but then you also state that the city is productively using 50% of the city.  That doesn’t sound very good at all, 50%?  Only half of this city is worth talking about?

If there is even a city close to reaching those levels on the East Coast it is probably Philadelphia and Baltimore.  Those cities give the perception that only half of the place is worth taking into consideration.  The reality may be that things are not actually as bad in either city; people may at least give it the benefit of the doubt that they are ignorant and are simply listening to what someone else heard.  The problem with Detroit is that it is isolated.  Chicago is not Washington DC, it is an hour away.  Columbus is not Philadelphia.  The only city even remotely close to Detroit worth mention is Toledo, and that place isn’t much to write home to your Mother about either.  What saddens me about the Midwest, is that the cities that are doing well are too isolated from their neighbors for the effects of what little good is going on to even affect what happens in those other towns.  Everyone is an hour away from someone else, in some cases two hours away.  

At the end of the day one has to ask themselves if Detroit could ever afford to utilize that other half?  What plans does the Mayor have for that other half outside of Downtown, that half that is not glamorous, where you would be lucky to find a streetlight on or a traffic signal working, or a sidewalk paved or the grass cut?  That half that is pulling down the city financially and making the entire town look bad.  There is one thing that the Mayor is right about; that is that you have to spend time in Detroit to understand Detroit.  That is typically the case with much of the Midwest but no where is that more true than it is in Detroit.  There are a lot of good things going on, a flourishing visual arts scene, as opposed to music scene the city has been known, urban farming, which could reduce transportation costs and make the city interesting because of lower costs over time, Downtown itself, which is nothing like it was in the eighties and nineties.

Prices are a lot, lot, lot cheaper in Detroit.  You can get a house for like $ 5,000, which is hard to believe until you check the real estate listings for yourself.  This makes it an easier place to live than either coast; you don’t have to live in a drug infested neighborhood and dodge bullets or face opposition because you are seen as someone who is about gentrification and moving people out.  In many instances people have already moved out of the neighborhood and your biggest issue might be squatters next door.  The city still has a lot of museums and has not given up on culture, which seems to be one thing Detroit will never give up on.  There is a lot to consider; Detroit isn’t for everybody, but it seems as though most that have moved on were looking for jobs elsewhere or abandoned the city because of the crime that plagued it for many years.  Detroit used to be the worst city in the country, hands down.  These days you cannot even find it among the 25 worst cities in the country.  That doesn’t mean that there aren’t neighborhoods to avoid or activities that you might think twice about doing at a certain time of day.  That also doesn’t mean that the crime is non-existent, it could be that Detroit is not reporting crime as it once did.  But it is a glimmer of hope.  In the past Detroit was a city that everyone ran to looking for jobs. In the future only certain people will even consider living in Detroit, and although that is not the message the city is trying to send out or one it would ever fully embrace, that could be the best possible thing to ever happen to the city of Detroit …

Article by R. Preston Ely

Ever wonder why things happen? If not, then just stop reading. This will be way over your head. Go watch cartoons.

Why did real estate values suddenly climb to record highs the past few years? Why did interest rates drop so low allowing so many average people to refinance and get access to more cash than they had ever previously seen? And more importantly…

Why did it stop all of a sudden?

The answer is – someone…wanted it this way.

Now I’m not pointing any fingers at the government or blaming the government or insinuating that the government is responsible in any way shape or form (the government did it). But that’s only because I don’t want men in black to come assassinate me in the middle of the night. I hate assassinations; especially when they happen to me. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves. Being assassinated. Unless they send a ninja. THAT would be cool.

But all undeniably true and irrefutable conspiracy theories aside, it is obvious that the market is somewhat controlled by the United States government. And I mean somewhat in the sense of totally and completely 100%. The U.S. is a proverbial control freak. Is there a proverb about control freaks? There should be.

I love this country. A LOT. But it would be nice if they would take their hands off of things every once in a while and let us pretend to be free for a smidge of a nanosecond. But hey, it’s not my country. Wait a minute, yes it is. I forgot. Ok, now I’m pissed. Someone hand me a picket sign.

My point is simply this – someone thinks you’ve made enough money in real estate…and it’s time to end the party.

You think the media blasted out their never-ending “sky is falling” stories for no reason? Someone was basically sending you a message –

The show is over. It’s not safe anymore. Go do something else.

Did it work? Did they scare you out of the market? Did you jump back in the rat race like a good little boy or girl? Did you get in line? Huh, little lemming? Did ya? Huh?Have you ever had lemming soup? Delicious.

I saw it coming. All the negative press surrounding the real estate market was the first clue. Especially since those “reports” were while interest rates were at record lows and people were still buying. I was so mad because I knew what would happen. It would work. People would believe it and get scared. And they did.

First of all, stop being such a scaredy cat. Scaredy cats are annoying. And smelly. Remember the song Smelly Cat by Phoebe Buffay on the sitcom Friends? Good. I have nothing at all to say about that song. I just wanted to make sure you don’t ever forget it.

My point is – stop watching the news. It’s stupid. You’re better off watching cartoons with the guy from the first paragraph of this article.

In other words – create your own reality instead of taking all your cues from what everyone else is doing. Everyone else is a freakin’ robot fully programmed and brainwashed by that same “someone” we mentioned earlier. That “someone” may be Suze Orman. I’m not totally sure. She looks suspiciously like a hostile space alien so she’s definitely suspect in my opinion.

I mean, let me ask you a question; if no one would have paid attention to those stupid news fabrications (I mean stories) and just kept on doing what they were doing, do you honestly think the market would have stalled or regressed. Of course not. We are the market.

I have good news for you. Especially for all you rehabbers, realtors, condo converters, pre-construction investors, and landlords. Yeah you. You’re all suffering right now so you may as well admit it. “Hi, my name is John, and I’m a recovering Realtor. Please help me.” Say it!

The good news is as follows:

I just saved 15% on my car insurance. Just kidding. With my driving history, that will never happen. I recently got a copy of my actual driving record and one of the (many) infractions was “driving on the sidewalk.” If that’s not funny, I don’t know what is. That particular infraction was a couple years old and I honestly have no idea what that is all about. I wish I could remember though because it sounds hilarious.

But we don’t have time to talk about me right now. Let’s talk about you. And the good news. One more time –

The good news is as follows:

My students and I are making just as much money in real estate right now in the year 2007 as we always have. And you are free to join us at any time. How do we do it? Very carefully. That’s all I’m sayin’. Very…carefully.

I would venture to say that our elite group is the only one making any money right now buying and selling real estate. I know it for a fact actually. We are the only sector of the real estate “investing” community that makes money no matter what the market is doing. Sounds fun doesn’t it?

Want in?

It’s fun in our land. Magical even. We don’t give a rat’s ass* what “someone” wants the real estate market to be doing. We just keep right on making money. And we do it by buying it really really cheap…and selling it really cheap. Buy really really cheap. Sell really cheap. Get it? We buy with 2 reallys (one of which is italicized so that you can easily see that it is leaning slightly to the right) and sell with 1. We all on the same page? If not, just read this paragraph sixty seven more times. You’ll get it eventually. Don’t give up.

In other words – we wholesale real estate. And we do it without ever taking title to the property, without ever spending a dime, and without ever using our credit. Joy!

I mean, it just makes sense doesn’t it? To make any money in a market you have to sell something people are buying. Duh. Well, people aren’t buying retail real estate right now. So that poses a serious problem for realtors and rehabbers, doesn’t it? Guess what people are buying lots of? Wholesale real estate.

When do the rich like to buy? When the market is up or down? If you can’t answer that then I’m going to have to ask you to go join the cartoon watchers please. I recommend The Simpsons. They buy when the market is down. Actually they buy all the dang time, but especially when it’s down.

When my students and I get a hold of a good property we have it sold in a day. One of our properties recently sold in two hours. Beats 3-6 months on the market doesn’t it? I have severe A.D.D. people. If it doesn’t move at the speed of light – I’m not involved. I’d choke myself to death with stiff nylon if I had to wait 3 months for a property to sell. So whoever likes fast money you have found your personal Pied Piper. Follow me. And start collecting checks.

How do we do it? Don’t have time for that now. It’s easy. I’m sure you can figure it out. If not, give me a call. I’d love to help.

Crafting a business plan is one of the first steps that any smart entrepreneur takes when they first decide to go into business for themselves. While real estate agents fall into the entrepreneur category, there are many agents out there that don’t take the time to formulate a solid business plan. It is a time consuming process, and one that requires difficult decision making and goal setting. It can seem tedious to an agent who would rather be out in the field, generating leads.

In the real estate industry, changes occur all the time, with a bustling housing market one year and a slump the next. What is the point of having a business plan in such an unpredictable industry like real estate?

Planning is the key to any good business, and real estate is no exception. You need to figure out what you want to achieve and then formulate a plan to get there.

To start, experts recommend coming up with a wish list for your business. How much would you like to make over the next few years? Be realistic, yet optimistic. You don’t want to set your sights too high and feel like a failure, or set them too low and not realize your full potential.

Once you have your income goals and a timeline set, you need to decide which tasks you will undertake to achieve those goals. Where will you place your energies and resources? Generating internet leads, or meeting people locally? Figure out how many clients you will need to have during an average year to meet your meet your needs. Then you need to your calculate all of your fixed and variable expenses, which is hard for many agents to do. Be very specific, and budget carefully. Vaguely described expenses are almost always higher than anticipated. Once you have your expenses figured out, you may have to readjust your revenue goals appropriately.

It is also a good idea to do a market analysis, and to always be on top of developments in the industry. You need to consider the potential rising and falling of local markets so you have the ability to ride out a slow period.

Making a business plan is different from simply outlining your goals. While it is good to have an overview of what you want to accomplish with your real estate business, it is vital that you sit down and map out the details. These details are what make up the business plan. It is action oriented and offers specific measures that you need to take, and in what time frame in order to accomplish your goals. Plan now, and a bright real estate future will be yours.

Seventeen percent of the sales associates surveyed indicated that one of the necessary skills for real estate professionals working with affluent customers was the ability to provide emotional support to their clients. And according to 11 % of respondents, luxury customers want their real estate agents to establish personal rapport with their clients.
The study also included queries on the “must have” amenities that the affluent clientele want in their luxury homes. Wealthy home buyers want media rooms in their homes, according to 60 % of respondents and another 60 % polled that their affluent customers want “wired” homes. However, there are a few home design elements that are out among luxury home buyers. Gourmet kitchens, granite countertops and wet bars are no longer counted as luxuries by wealthy home buyers, according to the survey respondents.
The survey also found that the multi-million dollar home buyer pays a typical down payment of 20 % to 30 %, while a quarter of clients put down 30 % to 50 % of the sale price.
