If you haven't noticed it on the Jason Hartman website yet, our favorite saying goes like this: “Don't wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate...then wait.” We can hear the groans out there already. No one likes the idea of twiddling their thumbs forever when it...
It's hard to talk about internet marketing strategies today without running into the concept of social media (SM). You know the usual suspects – Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc. But simply opening a half dozen SM accounts and throwing content at it is not...
In a downsized economy where only service industry jobs seem to be booming, the trend is away from upscale properties while demand is growing in the rental sector. Meanwhile, the window of opportunity is narrowing to take advantage of a market that has been both...
The great part about junk bonds is you can make an incredible return on your investment. The rest of the story is there is a high risk of default. Is it possible to earn junk bond level returns without the accompanying risk?
We thought you’d never ask. Of course there is! It’s called income property and if you are serious about achieving financial independence, we’ve never seen anything like it. Here’s another example from the eternally robust (for investors) Indianapolis real estate market.
Twitter. Facebook. MySpace. The rub with the powers-that-be in charge of each of these social media titans is how to make them profitable. From a business perspective, what good is it to have 70 trillion thousand participants but not make a single red cent in profit?
The soon-to-be-launched Twitter Business Center (TBC) proves at least one of the Big Three is on the case. What exactly will the TBC do that anyone cares about? The answer to that question is still to be determined but here’s the plan.
episode 168 of the Creating Wealth Show, Jason Hartman discusses some of the disadvantages of investing in gold.
Despite the crowd of investors clamoring to join this gold rush redux, Jason is not a fan. In fact, he likens buying precious metals with investing in insurance since neither meets his standards of a true investment, although they are touted as such. If you want evidence, consider that insurance companies turn around and invest your premiums in real estate.

It might seem like the most obvious way to diversify your real estate portfolio is to invest internationally. Ancient French towns, laid back Caribbean villas, or splashy Dubai condos. Surely these locations will never go out of fashion. Plus the euro is kicking the dollar to hell and back on value and has been doing so for a while.
As might be expected, there are a few factors to keep in mind. First and foremost, don’t forget the Empowered Investor Network maxim, “Does it make financial sense the day you buy it?” If it doesn’t, nothing else matters.
There’s the old saying that a person should “do what they love and money will follow,” the implication being that if you love what you do, you’ll put forth a better effort and money in the form of profit will surely be the reward. You do know there’s no guarantee with that way of thinking, right? Not every hobby is a great business idea but some might be.
You’re still going to have to work it, market it, bring in new customers, sweat the bottom line, and work your fingers to the bone. No surprise there. That’s the case with any business. And there’s no doubt that, all other things being equal, being interested in the topic you’re building a business around is easier than dealing in something you’re ambivalent about – or worse – disinterested.
Newsflash: Facebook is big. Really big. And it’s not going away any time soon. What does this mean for your online marketing efforts? No, not more time for Fishville, Farmville, or Watching Paint Dry-ville. While those Facebook-based diversions may have a legitimate use beside sucking the last milligram of brainpower and motivation from your day, we at The Creating Wealth Show have come up with a short list of ways to improve your online marketing business through proper presentation on Facebook.
