Are you profiting from O.P.P.?

Article by: Sue and Chuck DeFiore
Are you profiting from O.P.P.?
If not, why not?

We know many of you have the desire and dream of running your own home-based business. But, like so many people, you're not sure where or how to start. You're not sure what type of business you should look for.

You're not sure if you could do it. You're not sure if you really can achieve the financial freedom you want for yourself and your family. You're confused by all the get rich quick scams you see all around you. You can't pick up a newspaper or get on the web without falling over an ad telling you that yes, you too, can be a millionaire by next Tuesday if you just buy my Secret Formula. You'd happily make the investment of time, money and energy, if only you could find a business that was legitimate.

You're smart enough to know that any business worth having takes effort and requires time to grow. But what to do? Well, let us ask again. Are you profiting from O.P.P.? If not, why not?

What would you do if you found a business that: could generate multiple streams of income would work in any area of the country could be worked both in your local area and nationally could be worked both on and off the web would allow you to build your long term net worth and, can be started either in your spare time or part time.

Would you possibly think you should take a serious look at this business? We'll ask one more time. Are you profiting from O.P.P.? If not, why not?

OK, we know you really can't answer this question yet. Why, because we haven't told you what O.P.P. is. We can tell you the business we described above is real and it revolves around the O.P.P. principle. We can hear you now, enough already.

What is O.P.P.? Very simply put, O.P.P. is Other Peoples Property. Yes, you can build a great business and make a wonderful income, all from your home office, using Other Peoples Property. And no, we are not suggesting you break into your neighbor's homes, steal their belongings and sell them.

What we are talking about is a wonderful business that allows you to generate immediate cash flow and also build your long term net worth. So, what is this wonderful business.

Lease Purchasing.

Lease Purchasing is a specialized niche in the field of Creative Real Estate, which allows you to control property without the trouble of ownership; and profit from this. Lease Purchasing affords wonderful benefits and opportunities to those who would like to operate a home-based business.

Every year, thousands of people get wealthy in their home business. A good place to put their positive cash flow is onto Lease Purchasing to build a real estate portfolio to retire on after they move 0n and sell their business.

How To Prepare For A BIG Pay-Off When You Sell Your House

In your advertising, Feature what the buyer wants.

1) Then do the things that will make her comfortable being in your house. And make sure you think about what can be done to improve the environment -- so you can make cost effective choices for repairs and upgrades. Use our priority checklist below:

a. Thoroughly clean the kitchen. Then move on to the bathroom, closets, furniture and storage areas.

b. Fix up the house interior, but watch your spending! You'll be surprised at how quickly the costs add up! Spend money only on items that will increase the value of the house more than your costs.

c. Fix up the exterior of your house by tidying up the yard, fixing cracks in the driveway and making sure the windows and doors open easily. Spray WD40 on all hinges. Also, check that the exterior lights and doorbell work. Power-washing the driveway and porch can do wonders.


2. Select a realtor who is willing to learn why your house is worth more than the competition. Interview several realtors until it becomes obvious who knows their stuff and who doesn't.
Since a house is usually the biggest investment in most people's lives, there could be some intense moments in the negotiation process. Be sure you feel comfortable with the realtor as a person.


3. Set a starting price and the lowest price you will accept.
If you have lots of time to sell your house, you can start the price slightly higher than market value.

If your start price is too high, your house won't sell, or the bank won't finance it. If you reduce the listing price later, other realtor's will think there is something wrong with your house and will only bring bargain hunters.

A realistic price is the best place to start.


4. Negotiate the listing realtor's commission and the selling realtor's commission. If the commission is too low, realtor's will spend less time promoting your house. If you are in a hurry, or if you want better service, you are better off increasing the commission by $500 rather than reducing your price by $5,000.


5. Develop a features and benefits checklist for realtor's. They see so many houses that after a while they all look alike. A written summary of strong points of your house helps the realtor justify a higher price when presenting to the buyer.


6. Develop a lifestyle oriented features list of your house and surrounding area. A pictorial collage of two or three pages will help increase the desirability (and higher value) of your home.


7. Just before a showing make sure everything is well dusted, all the lights are on and the windows are open, if weather permits. Use a neutral deodorizer just before the buyers arrive. Lighting a candle is very effective in eliminating odors ...

Don't forget your patience in today's difficult selling environment. Things will get better.
