I honestly have to say that I do believe in magic based on what David Blaine has been able to pull. This could be anyone that hustles hard enough… It seems anything is possible. Madonna, Fionna Apple, Bijuo Phillips, etc… Here are some pics of the et cetras.

So what is the deal with buyers these days? Does it matter to you if your house cost $300,000 or $350,000? Or does it just matter that your payments are $2,400 a month? Does the percent of interest matter?
I used to drive around and see new subdivisions with big signs out front with home prices. The neighborhoods would announce that homes here are between, $250-300,000 or $X and up. Now I drive around and see new home subdivisions with signs that say $2,131 a month. These are all new home subdivisions with homes for sale advertising the monthly you would have to pay to be in a home. Some of these subdivisions previously had signs with home prices, but now the signs just advertise the montly.
Just off the top, I am wondering what this $ amount really means. Does it include insurance, hoa, taxes, etc… What is the price I am paying for the house and what interest rate am I getting on the loan?
Either I am crazy for not jumping on the new marketing trend and/or buyers are crazy for not caring what they are buying. Either way I feel it is this type of trend that ruins economies… What matters most to you, the monthly cost or the homes cost or both?

There are islands all over the world just waiting to be bought. I am not the biggest fan of log cabins but this I could deal with. Sitting on 10 acres with mad water front is this nearly 8,000 sqft log crib. There is room in the garages for 5 cars and there is a players retreat off the second garage, disconected from the house. This is located in Montana and is going for $17 million.

If you are going to go big, why not go big. The Maybach Exelero looks to be a one off that is based on the Maybach 57. It is going for $7.8 million. Yeah thats right, big dog. It has sport and luxury. 700 horse power turbocharged v12 that hit 218 mph at Nardo. In most cities this will buy the best of homes and lifestyles. To think some people drop that much on a 5th or 6th car…

I ran into a guy this weekend that I had been close to when I was younger. He was a contractor that built homes in my area. When I had met him 15 years ago he was building houses. Little did I know he was also building an apartment complex. With the profits from the houses he was building, he was reinvesting everything into apartments. Around 10 years ago, I had heard that he had 20 apartments.
He now has 60 apartments all paid for that he does maintenance on. Actually he has someone that lives in the apartments there that does the maintenance, he is just around incase of emergencies. He has 60 apartments that are paid for. These are renting for around $600-800 a month. That means he has cash flow of between $36,000 and $48,000 a month.
That is not bad. The first apartment was built with cash. Which made the second easier to pay for and things seemed to snowball after the first 15.

Screw laser surgery to remove tattoos, replace the arm skin. Pharrel plans to replace the skin on the arms then get some new ink… This comes form luxist.
“To Pharrel Williams being a grown man means no longer have fire tattoos on his arms but instead of having a laser treatment to fade or remove the flames the rapper/producer/entrepreneur is looking to have his arms replaced! — well, at least the skin on his arms. There is a revolutionary new procedure where a lab, using a sample of your skin, can grow more skin to be used as a skin graft over the portion where the tattoos currently reside. They just sew it on and voila! You have a seamless, tattoo-less arm that once healed will be ready for new ink designs. Pharrel doesn’t seem to care that it costs upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars for the procedure and it sounds like he anticipates a new ink job when his lab-grown-sewn-on-skin is good and ready.”

You have to set goals and do your best to keep them rolling.
Don’t get bogged down with the details. While the details have to be done, make sure you remember the big picture. Each small goal relates to larger goals. Do not give up the larger goals because of adversity with smaller goals.
It is good to get your head out of the sand and see the big picture.
