As I progress from a career in pharmacy to a career in real estate, I notice just how similar some of the demands are...mainly for a person's character.  Now diving deeper into learning about this business I can't help but to appreciate everything I learned in another job sector and am glad I can bring those lessons to this new adventure.  Both require honesty, trust, professionalism, among other attributes.  Had a successful pharmacy career and now hoping for a successful real estate career.  Stay tuned for updates... 10/27/2021

How to Easily Get a Commercial Loan A commercial loan is a type of business loan mainly used to finance the purchase or construction of buildings, equipment, and other capital investments. It can also be used for refinancing purposes. Commercial loans are usually secured by collateral such as real estate, machinery, etc.Commercial loans are typically more expensive than residential mortgages due to the higher risk of lending money to businesses that may not generate enough revenue to repay the debt on time. The interest rates on commercial loans are higher because banks and other lenders consider the risk to be much higher than residential mortgages. Also, they consider how long it will likely take for a business owner to repay the debt, so there is more chance of defaulting in the case... 10/27/2021

With the high cost of real estate in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California, many people are looking towards other states when deciding to purchase a home or raise a family. Taxes, Jobs and Cost of Living California has one of the highest state income taxes in the country, so that alone is a factor that can put more money in people’s pockets and allow them to spend more of it on housing and other costs.   The job market in California has been strong recently, and while there may be better paying jobs and opportunities in certain areas and industries like Silicon Valley or the newer Silicon Beach area of Los Angeles, on a relative basis, it may not make that much of a difference once the high cost of living is factored in. California has a net Out-Migration to other states as can... 10/27/2021

Hello,For years I have been trying to understand why Puerto Rico is not added to the list.  I was working the Dominican Republic market and they added this option and I made my profile.  When I became licensed in Puerto Rico, I was told time and time again that ActiveRain does not want to add international areas- even after having been a paid member, which of course I had to cancel. Dominican Republic is international.  Also, the other US territories are added on the list. Yet PR is refused a spot. 10/27/2021

These are my main six different ways to lift your carpentry game. I present them in an inverted request, so leap to the last passage if you're searching for the top way.1. Don't bring up your misstepsMost carpenters consistently start to show a piece by expressing what's going on with their work. That promptly signs watchers that there are issues – that sabotage your work. Proficient carpenters never bring up their missteps.They see the mistakes, gain from the errors, and are upset by them, yet they never go on about them.2. Use the ideal tools to get everything doneCompletely prepared carpentry shops have a combination of hand and force instruments. To be a superior carpenter, you wanted to get when to utilize best tools for woodworking and carpentry.My cherished story came to fruition... 10/25/2021

The saying “there’s always a first time” definitely applies to me, this is my first blog.I am a new agent and heard about Active Rain during an on line class I’m taking with Diana Bustamante.                                                                                                                 Before the pandemic we had started looking to downsize to a smaller home and I realized how interesting it was to be in real estate. After everything shut down, we were not sure what would happen because we were self employed. That is when I decided to take the class and so so glad I did. 10/19/2021

The price of homes in recent days has gone through the roof in Reno NV and the surrounding areas.  Investors are having a hard time finding anything reasonable to flip.  I happen to have a listing over 2000 sq ft that needs updating in Silver Springs and priced to sell at 159k sitting on .70 acre with all utilities there--ready to move into.  Its a MF home with a stick built.  There is nothing lower in Reno, Carson City or even in Silver Springs this big for that price.  You may check and see  Call me if interested  3609 Atkins, Silver Springs, NV 89429  I also have a duplex priced to sell in Hawthorne NV at 742 D St at only 49k  thanks 10/18/2021

Hello there!  Have you ever gone to an online store, found a really great outfit, and then order it? You are so excited, watching out the windows at every car that passes by until the package arrives? Just like Christmas morning you are jumping for joy as you slice through the tape and open up your gift to yourself. But it looks slightly off. No worries, you haven't put it on yet. Excitedly you get dressed, and then look at yourself in the mirror and deflate. It looks nothing like what you ordered. In fact, one could say that there is no resemblance what so ever. You huff and tilt your head back wondering why the universe has done this to you. You probably spent $100, maybe more and maybe less, but you still spent that money and probably feel bad about it now. Now imagine that you did t... 10/18/2021

Abstract:In the biblical book of Genesis the story of the Tower of Babel discusses a time when the people of Earth following the flood of Noah were unified in speech and sought to build a giant tower reaching to the heavens. God intervened and confused the languages of the people causing disunity and resulting in the great tower to remain unfinished. In modern times, many archeologists have been reluctant to attribute historical basis to the story, instead suggesting it was invented as a teaching myth. However recent discoveries in Babylon bring support that the story had a basis in fact.Interested in facts about Archeology?

We just had a spot open on the first page of Google! That was the opening pitch the last SEO sale rep told me! He was able to say that with what sounded like a straight face. If I had $2 (with todays inflation it's now recommended to use $2) for all the SEO sales calls I've received since SEO became a thing, well I could pay a real SEO guru to optimize my web site. If it was only that easy to rank as a Mortgage Lender in Florida, by having them swap out first page rankings.What are some of the best or let's say the worst SEO call's you have gotten?  10/14/2021
