Step 1: Organizing Your Office

Tim Mai has an easy nine step process for making great profits in the pre-foreclosure market. In this article, he will focus on Step 1 and explain the remaining steps in upcoming articles.

Setting up and organizing an office used to be an expensive affair. That’s no longer true thanks to today’s technology. For a minimum investment, you can now set up a highly efficient and effective work environment. Here’s a list of the basic equipment you need to get started:

• A computer-These days, computers are a bargain. You can buy one cheaply. However, it pays to get the latest model since the computer world is forever changing and improving itself. I’d recommend that you buy one that has a minimum of 1 megabyte of memory and will allow expansion for more memory. This is important because new software applications get larger all the time and become “memory hogs,” which can slow down the computer While this may not be so important at the beginning of your career, it’ll become so as you become more successful and the complexity of your investments increases.

• A good “office” software suite-you’ll need software that includes word processing, accounting software, computer slide generation, etc. Microsoft Office is the most common suite, but there are other, cheaper applications available (WordPerfect Office, etc.). Often, the application comes with the computer you buy so make sure the office suite comes with the features you need. Eventually, if you move into other, more complex areas of real estate (multi-unit dwellings, commercial real estate, etc.), you’ll want to buy software that’s designed specifically for the real estate market.

What ever happened to poor Bill Gates?

Long accustomed to being the richest man in the world he has been nosed out for the prestigious title by a relatively unknown Mexican fellow, Carlos Slim. Slim is estimated to have a net worth of 59 billion while the better know Chairman of Microsoft has to settle for only 58 billion.

So who is Carlos Slim and how did he become so wealthy? To get the full story read this article You will quickly realize that Carlos Slim didn’t become the wealthiest man on earth because of luck. The guy is a very smart investor and businessman.

One of his sayings that I especially like relates to the way he has raised his family who are all working in his business empire. At a speech a few years ago in New York City Slim was explaining his life’s work “Many people want to leave a better world for their children,” he told the crowd. “I’m trying to leave better children for my world.”

That difference helps to explain how a family run business has become so successful.
