Sad InterActive Maps

This is a very cool tool provided by the New York Federal Reserve.   Mortgage Maps.  The more you know, the more you wonder was anyone thinking…. Honestly, too much money chasing too few opportunities, but did someone forget about the risk and ramifications if something crazy happen…. like people not making their payments…..No longer need to wonder….Just read and weep…..  Remember, this too will pass…Hopefully, soon…… Not likely…. However, it’s an extremely good time to tee-up and start buying properties… not foreclosure or short sale properties, but great locations with great upside demand factors…. Just because it has the name “foreclosure, REO or Short Sale” doesn’t make it a great investment opportunity…. At the end of the day, makes sure you have someone advising you who has years of experience and wealth of knowledge…. you will need both, eventually…. Terry

A fun site.  Just think tomorrow, you wake up and decide to make a b-line out of here….. Your next stop is right here… The Best Place To Live.    Remember, it’s always greener on the other side until you’re there….. But at least you can dream, plan and make the right move at the right time….. Always visit or rent a place in your new heaven…….it maybe hell in two weeks…Terry

Engage and Purge

Yesterday, during a quiet time, two words exploded inside: Engage and Purge.   Why?  Not sure why, but I know those two words continued to resonant in my soul….

Engage your Life: your life including your health, mind and family…… Purge the junk… thought wasters, poisonous people and activities, stuff.  Clean your machine.  Don’t hold back. Get into the game.  If you stand in the crowd, you can never get up to bat… Hit it out park…. Enjoy…Terry

The Domino Effect…. This is not Pizza

To understand the current economic situation, you need to understand mortgage backed securities. I have attached a PBS report focusing on The Domino Effect of Mortgage Backed Securities.  

Listen and share with your family, friends and clients.  More later.  Terry

Too much Ad noise distorts your mind….

So who do you trust…… the magazine, newspaper ad or your friend?

Come on… Yes, he returned the lawnmower low on oil,  but the oil was low when you gave it to him….. Yes, a friends referrals is the best…Trust me.  People do business with people the like and trust…..By the way, would you do business someone you hate and dislike…. I don’t think so…. Be transparent and collaborative… everyone wants a friend who is real…. not perfect…. Well, enjoy this short to the point article ….. Enjoy  By the way, Dr. McDaniel is available for house calls… since both my dad and brother are both doctors, maybe through osmosis…Ok…. Enjoy…. Terry

“There’s too much information in today’s world, and our defense
mechanism to sort through it all is to vote with our gut, to
vote what we feel. We look for shortcuts, and those shortcuts
are called brands. The reason you buy Tide detergent at the
grocery store is that you don’t want to read fifty labels. You
trust Tide because you already know it works.”

Coupons have Value. Right

Anyway… I think Coupons work……Enjoy the coupon story…Be real…. How many coupons do you have in your top drawer?  Come on, those pizza coupons are out dated by now….. Enjoy   Terry

Email Coupons Make People Spend More

If you ever wanted scientific evidence that sending email coupons can be a good thing, here’s an interesting report from Harvard. Basically, they found that people create mini “mental accounting models” in their own heads, in order to stick to short term budgeting goals.

A surprise gift certificate or coupon (the professors call them, “unanticipated small windfalls“) will give people that little push to go buy stuff they wouldn’t normally buy otherwise. And they usually end up spending slightly more than normal.

So this holiday season send your customers some “unanticipated small windfalls” via email. MailChimp can help. You can setup a Postcard Template for Thanksgiving and Christmas, for instance. Use the “splashy graphic” slot for your coupon.

And with our new segmentation feature, you can actually send campaigns to targeted groups within your list of “people who are interested in e-coupons, AND who clicked on the coupon in my previous campaign” (here’s an example).
