In today’s economy the use of private money had become more widespread. Why wouldn’t it? It had supplied us investors with a true need – funds. So private lending has a stigma? Private money, hard money and similar names had become associated with high interest rates and hefty fees and in many instances it’s true. But they don’t have to be in all cases. I don’t want to talk about if private money is good or bad. I want to explore the right use of it.
If you are making a long-term investment then probably the use of private money is not the right way to go about it. It makes sense if you use it as part of a bridge or temporary financing in your purchase process. For example as a strategy to acquire the property until you have secured an institutional mortgage. When you conduct a short-term investment it MAY make more sense. You’ll still have to explore it on a case by case, which is what I have done in a fix and flip investment in Dallas. (more…)

The statistics about women and money are sobering. According to the National Center for Women and Retirement
Research, 75% of women are widowed at the average age of 56 and 1 in 4 of these women end up broke within 2 months of being widowed.
At some point in their life, 90% of women will be solely responsible for their family finances. As of this year, women control the majority of all the privately held financial assets in the United States.
A survey taken by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies found that, “three out of four women admit that they do not know as much as they should about retirement investing, and half said they are not confident in their ability to retire comfortably.”
Michelle Shaman is a native Californian who has been personally involved in real estate and investing for more than 20 years. Michelle strives to empower women with the investment knowledge they need to be successful in securing their own future and the future of their families. Through her smart leveraging program, Michelle shows women how to take control of their own assets, allowing them to relax and enjoy their lives, focusing on what matters most to them.
Retirement by default is easy. It takes no effort; you simply place all of your trust in others to control your assets; others who have much less incentive than you do to
make sure your retirement funds are designed to meet your retirement goals. And you pay them a fee, whether you make money or not.
Utilizing well crafted investment methods that she shares with her clients, Michelle helps women to create a retirement by design, rather than by default.
