Residual income and G.P.T. (Get Paid Today) are concepts that are causing a stir within the network marketing industry. There's been a tug of war going on within the MLM industry about which one of these concepts is better. So which one is better? Which is the best one for you? The answer is BOTH! There should be no confusion as to which is better because they both compliment each other. If you take the benefits of both and combine them with the top companies in the industry, you will have the perfect mix.
Combine the top company that provides the highest G.P.T. with the top company that provides you with long term residual income, and you will have "The Perfect Synergy!"
So how do you make this happen and what are the top companies that will help create this "Synergy?"
Before I get to that, let's break down both of these concepts further.
So what is G.P.T. (Get Paid Today) and why is it so important?
G.P.T. is not a company, opportunity, and it's not a product or system of any kind.
It's an answer. A solution to tiny commission checks, dwindling MLM downlines, and the "quick turn" mentality that has taken over MLM. It will allow you to put tens-of-thousands of dollars of cash into your pocket in weeks and months... Not years. The best part about G.P.T. is that you don't have to build a downline.
G.P.T. stands for: "Get Paid Today", which is a concept that summarizes the growing change of focus in the MLM industry from a long-term residual income, to immediate leveraged income.
The Premise Of Get Paid Today Is Simple:
If networkers are going to bounce around from program to program... If competing companies are going to advertise on your front door with a "better/cheaper" product, and if the cost of sponsoring a new rep continues to soar, then the answer is simple:
Get paid a year or more worth of residuals on Day One no matter what happens.
In the age of the internet, distributors come and go like the wind, so Get Paid Today. "Bigger and better" opportunities launch every six months, taking a piece of your downline with it, so Get Paid Today.
Money is worth more in your pocket today than it is next year, so Get Paid Today and invest that cash into real residual income streams outside the MLM circus like real-estate or the market.
It costs more than ever to advertise and sponsor a new rep, so Get Paid a year or more of residual income Today, instead of waiting for the $5.00 commissions to roll in over months or years.
Most networkers are only employee minded people pretending to be entrepreneurs, which means they'll rarely do what it takes to be successful, so Get Paid Today for your time and training whether they build a business or not.
White collar professionals aren't interested in working 3-4 hours a night selling vitamins for a $500 - $1,000 check, so offer them a vehicle that they can Get Paid Today, and realistically make $10,000/mo within just 5 to 10 customers a month.
Building a MLM that pays out $10,000 per month requires building a downline of thousands. Get Paid Today and make $10,000 with just 10 customers or less.
G.P.T. Models Are Currently Found In "Top Tier" Opportunities.
We call them "Top Tier" because of the caliber of people they attract, and the high-level incomes they can produce compared to traditional MLM.
Most, (but not all), are characterized by a "Two-Up" compensation plan, a product or service that is retailed in the $1,500-$2,000 range, and pay out a $1,000+, up-front commission on the sale of that product or service.
One of the primary objections made by networkers against Get Paid Today, Top Tier programs is that there's no residual income.
But Is That True?
Well as this business model develops, residual income has been integrated into several compensation plans already, but there's another angle that needs to be considered regardless of that...
When you make a $1,000 commission, it's like you're getting paid a year's worth of residuals up front on Day One with a product purchase, whether the new rep goes on to build a business or not.
How large of an organization would you have to build in order to make $4,000/mo in a traditional MLM?
What is Residual Income and why is it so important to your long-term success?
"Residual income (also called passive or recurring income) is income that continues to be generated after the initial effort has been expended. Compare this to what most people focus on earning: linear income, which is "one-shot" compensation or payment in the form of a fee, wage, commission or salary."
"Linear income is directly proportional to the number of hours invested in it (40 hrs. of pay for 40 hrs. of work), but one of the great advantages of residual income is that once things are set in motion, you continue making money from your initial efforts, while gaining time to devote to other things... such as generating more streams of residual income!"
"True residual income is money paid in the form of a commission for sales that you make or that are made by your sales organization as over-ride commissions. It becomes residual if it is paid to you every month after the initial sale. The only way commissions will continue is if the customer develops loyalty and value for the product or service. It must be something that continues to pay month after month, and the quality and service must be highly valued by the customer."
"Continuation of residual income is dependent on the continuation of the company. It must be well financed from the beginning, and it must have an outstanding track record of customer service and satisfaction."
Some examples of passive income are:
Earnings from a business that does not require direct involvement from the owner or merchant; Rental from property;
Royalties from publishing a book or from licensing a patent or other form of intellectual property; Earnings from internet advertisements on websites;
Residual income, repeated regular income earned by a sales person, generated from the payment of a product or service, that must be renewed on a regular basis in order to continue receiving its benefits;
Dividend and interest income from owning securities, such as stocks and bonds, is usually referred to as portfolio income, which may or may not be considered a form of passive income. In the United States, portfolio income is considered a different type of income than passive income; Pensions.
As you can see after reading about these two concepts, it's difficult to say which one is better than the other. Each one has their own benefits. If you can see the vision that both of these concepts bring together and partner with the top companies that provide you with these concepts, you will then have the "Perfect Synergy."
Since there isn't one true company out there today that provides you with both of these concepts together, it's very important to choose the right companies to partner with. Make sure you partner with the top company that provides the highest G.P.T. as well as the top company that gives you the best chance of developing long term residual income.
If you make the right decisions and partner with the right companies, you will become a top Multi-Preneur and have complete financial security.

If You Are Selling A Home, A Home Inspection Helps Seal The Deal by David Haigh
You have heard the horror stories. A friend buys a home that is now literally crumbling around her. Somebody took shortcuts, and her home was not inspected before she bought it. Now she is stuck and can not do anything about it. A home inspection before the sale would have made the deal honest and prevented headaches and heartache later for this friend and concerned family members.
These days it is tempting to cut corners, usually with the idea of saving money. However, a home inspection is a worthwhile investment. If you are planning to sell a home, an inspection can identify problems in the making and suggest preventive measures that might help avoid costly future repairs. A home inspection gives you the opportunity to make any necessary repairs now that will put the house in better selling condition. In the real estate market today, having your home pre-inspected can be a great selling point.
Plus, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you are doing the right thing for the people who will be buying the home. It means a lot for them to know they can count on their new home to be a place they are proud to live in with few hassles. It also protects you from possible problems.
Keep in mind that the home you are selling must signal to prospective buyers that there is nothing to fear by checking out this home. They need assurance the home is in good condition, or even better than that. If your home is listed online, make sure there is a link to click so the buyer can view the inspection for himself.
Put yourself in the shoes of a real estate agent for a minute. You are looking for a suitable home for a client. What would you look for? Would you want to see a home that stands out from the hundreds of others out there? Would you want that buyer to know they can investigate and buy that home with confidence? A home inspection helps give that assurance. It will be easier to sell the home to your client if one of the most difficult steps is already out of the way. Barring unforeseen problems, such as with financing, your job of finding a home for your client is that much easier.
As the home seller, you need to take control of the situation proactively. When a buyer comes along with a home inspector, they may be looking to cut costs. If they are not happy with the condition of the house, they may ask for repairs at an inflated price or terminate the contract altogether. The bottom line - they decide not to buy the house. You may not get a second chance with that buyer. You are left with the house still on the market and with the task of making things right before you can sell to the next prospective buyer. That person will not want any surprise defects to contend with either.
It can be disappointing for you if an inspection finds serious problems. However, dealing with things right away means less chance of alarm or regret on the part of the buyer as well as less chance of a deal going sour. You will make the home even easier to sell by having it inspected again after repairs have been done. Then make the revised report available with the listing. This should make the deal go smoothly.
Here is another helpful tip to seal a deal. Have the inspector print out several copies of the inspection report for you so prospective buyers can take one when they tour the home. Allowing buyers to take a copy of the report keeps your home in their minds that much longer. Your inspector shouldn't mind printing copies of his report because his name and report is being carried around for the other buyers who did not purchase your home but may call him for their own inspections.
To summarize, many sellers are having a home inspection done at the time of their listing in order to repair or determine the condition of their home. If you do this, you can use the inspection as a sales tool. A seller's inspection will virtually eliminate all the hassles and blown deals that inspections might cause when the buyer brings in their inspector. It gives leverage back to you, the seller. Most importantly, a seller's home inspection is the ultimate gesture of full disclosure and will help protect you.

Real Estate as an Investment by Dannie Jensen
Real estate investing is one of the most attractive ways of making good money (that is if you do it correct). Moreover, real estate investing is also a lot of fun. A lot of people practice real estate investing as their core profession and, in fact, make a lot of money that way.
Real estate investing is really an art and, like any art, it takes time to master the art of real estate investing. The key, of course, is to buy at a lower price and sell at higher price and make a profit even after paying all the costs involved in the two (buy/sell) transactions. Generally, people are of the opinion that real estate investing makes sense only when the rates are on the rise. However, real estate investing for profits is possible just about any time (and as I just said, real estate investing is an art). Here is a list of tricks that can make real estate investing profitable for you:
1) Look for public auctions, divorce settlements and foreclosures (bank/FHA/VA): Since quick settlement is the preference here (and not price), you might get a property at a price that is much lower than the prevailing market rate. You can then make arrangements to sell it at the market rate over a short period of time. However, make sure that the property is worth the price you are paying.
2) Looking for old listings: The old listings that are still unsold may provide you with good real estate investing opportunities. Just get hold of an old newspaper and call up the sellers. They might have given up hope of selling that property at all and with a bit of negotiation you can get the property for a real low price.
3) The hidden treasure: A really old (and dirty) looking house may scare off buyers. But this might be your chance for real estate investing that can yield good profits. So, explore such properties and check if spending a bit on them can make them shine. You can get these at very low prices and make a big profit in a short time.
4) Team up with attorneys: There are a number of attorneys who handle property sales on behalf of sellers or in special circumstances (like the death of the property owner). They might sometimes be looking to dispose off the property rather quickly and hence at a low price. Be the first one to grab such real estate investing opportunities and enjoy the profits.
5) Keep tab on the newspaper announcements: Property sell offs due to deaths, divorce settlements, immediate cash requirements and other reason are frequently announced in local papers. Keep track of such real estate investing avenues.

Understanding Real Estate Law by Dannie Jensen
Real estate is indeed one of the safest investments and a lot of people use real estate as an investment avenue. Real estate law is not the forte of real estate attorneys and real estate agents only. Every real estate investor should understand at least the basics of real estate law. In fact, a short course or a concise book on real estate law can sometimes be of great help (and is generally sufficient for understanding the basics of real estate law).
What you need to understand is the real estate law with respect to the legal procedures that you need to follow for ensuring a smooth transfer of title to the property you acquire/sell and other related procedures. You need to understand the fee structure (e.g. stamp duty, etc) that you need to take care of as per real estate law. You can also understand the classification of properties and how the basic real estate law applies to them. How the commercial and residential properties are treated differently by the real estate law. The tax laws with respect to real estate are one of the things that would be of most interest to you. So, your study on real estate law should also cover all the aspects related to taxes. How mortgages are treated in the perspective of real estate law is another thing that you should know about. Then again, the real estate law with respect to tenancy should also be well understood by people who wish to rent out their property.
However, you should not overdo that i.e. you should not start becoming hysterical about learning real estate law (lest you end up wasting a lot of time in trying to learn everything about real estate law and be left with no time to evaluate your real estate investment). Leave the intricacies of real estate law with the real estate attorneys (and to some extent real estate brokers who too are taught real estate law as part of their course for obtaining broker license).
Understanding the various legal terms referred to in real estate laws can help you in not only enhancing your understanding of real estate but also help in making your conversations with real estate attorneys/agents really fruitful. You should also note that though some of the basics remain the same, the real estate laws vary across various states. Also, real estate laws (especially the tax related real estate laws) can undergo a change over a period of time, so you need to keep a tab on such changes. Any big changes will anyhow appear prominently in news and you will get to know of them anyhow. So knowing a little bit of real estate law can really be helpful (and is, in fact, essential).

An Introduction to Real Estate Management by Dannie Jensen
Real estate investment can happen for various reasons. You could invest in real estate because you need a house for yourself (that house of your dreams that you so badly want). You could use real estate as a means for supplementing your income either by buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price or by letting it out. Sometimes you might buy a property for the purpose of resale but might want to wait for a few years before you actually sell it. In such a case, again it would make sense to rent out the property and earn some money till you actually decide to sell it off.
Whatever the reason, letting out real estate demands real estate management and real estate management is not an easy job for everyone. In fact, a lot of people find it so much of a hassle that they prefer keeping their property vacant instead of letting it. Real estate management demands time, which you will rarely have. Real estate management is not just about finding tenants and collecting rent from them. Real estate management is also about ensuring that you do all the duties that a landlord/landlady is required to do. Real estate management is about verifying the credentials of the tenants before you actually let out your property to them. Real estate management is about ensuring that all the paper work is complete and correct i.e. the tenancy agreement etc are properly done. Real estate management also requires you to do repairs as and when required. Real estate management activities also include maintenance, painting, polishing etc of the house when the tenants move out and before the new tenants get in.
So, really, real estate management is not that easy a job for someone who is in a full time job. However, there is a solution to this and that is hiring a real estate management firm to do all these activities on your behalf. Yes, this will mean that what you receive as an income by letting your property will be reduced (due to the commission/ fee charged by the real estate management firm). But that is just a small price for the convenience that a real estate management firm brings to you. However, it's important that you choose the real estate management firm carefully. There are all kinds of real estate management firms out there (good and bad). You must check the references of the real estate management firm before you actually hire them for the job. A good real estate management firm will not only keep your property occupied at all times but will also ensure that you always receive the rent in time and without any hassle.
Whatever the reason, letting out real estate demands real estate management and real estate management is not an easy job for everyone. In fact, a lot of people find it so much of a hassle that they prefer keeping their property vacant instead of letting it. Real estate management demands time, which you will rarely have. Real estate management is not just about finding tenants and collecting rent from them. Real estate management is also about ensuring that you do all the duties that a landlord/landlady is required to do. Real estate management is about verifying the credentials of the tenants before you actually let out your property to them. Real estate management is about ensuring that all the paper work is complete and correct i.e. the tenancy agreement etc are properly done. Real estate management also requires you to do repairs as and when required. Real estate management activities also include maintenance, painting, polishing etc of the house when the tenants move out and before the new tenants get in.
So, really, real estate management is not that easy a job for someone who is in a full time job. However, there is a solution to this and that is hiring a real estate management firm to do all these activities on your behalf. Yes, this will mean that what you receive as an income by letting your property will be reduced (due to the commission/ fee charged by the real estate management firm). But that is just a small price for the convenience that a real estate management firm brings to you. However, it's important that you choose the real estate management firm carefully.
