Save Time With Effective Phone Screening | Rich Dad Education - Real Estate Blog Real Estate Marketing: Phone Screening In sales, there is an expression that a salesperson should not “pit polish.” This expression means that they shouldn’t spend their time trying to turn a pit (someone that is not interested or qualified) into a piece of fruit. In a very similar way, investors do the same thing. The whole point is that we only want you to spend your time with properties that really are deals instead of trying to force a deal. The call-screening process is split into two parts. After they have answered, ask how you can help them. 1. 2. 3. All you need to determine at this point is motivation. The second part of the process is to determine whether we would approach this with a cash offer or a terms offer. 1. 2. 3. After you ask these questions, you should have a pretty good idea whether to approach this deal from a cash standpoint or a terms standpoint.

Why this place is becoming the new Switzerland Reporting from Sydney, Australia Switzerland is the place that has traditionally stood above all the rest in its reputation for financial stability. Why? Because the currency was well-managed, the banking system was sound, and the country had a long tradition of treating capital well. Over the last few years, however, these advantages have collapsed. Switzerland has voluntarily surrendered banking privacy, and the many Swiss banks are now hemorrhaging cash. Even worse, the Swiss government destroyed its reputation for respecting capital when they pegged the Swiss franc to the euro in 2011 to arrest the franc’s rapid rise. The country’s top central banker at the time, Philipp Hildebrand, claimed that he would buy foreign currencies in ‘unlimited quantities’ to defend the peg. This is not something a responsible steward of currency should ever say. Since then, the market’s need to find a financial safe haven has only become more desperate.

Liberty Street Economics Linda Goldberg and David Skeie To help contain the economic damage caused by the recent financial crisis, the Federal Reserve extended large amounts of liquidity to financial firms through traditional lending facilities such as the discount window as well as through newly designed facilities. Recently released Federal Reserve data on discount window borrowing show that some U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks were among the most active users of the window. In this post, we explain why U.S. branches borrow at the discount window. We also discuss two main reasons why these branches had a large need for dollars during the crisis and how discount window loans to them helped stabilize the financial system and the real economy in the United States. U.S. A U.S. branch of a foreign bank is not a separate legal entity, but a part of the bank. U.S. branches differ from domestic banks in two key ways that affect their need for liquidity.

Bliss Legacy - Find Your Bliss Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity A landmark manifesto about the genuine closing of the American mind. Lawrence Lessig could be called a cultural environmentalist. One of America's most original and influential public intellectuals, his focus is the social dimension of creativity: how creative work builds on the past and how society encourages or inhibits that building with laws and technologies. In his two previous books, Code and The Future of Ideas, Lessig concentrated on the destruction of much of the original promise of the Internet. Now, in Free Culture, he widens his focus to consider the diminishment of the larger public domain of ideas. All creative works-books, movies, records, software, and so on-are a compromise between what can be imagined and what is possible-technologically and legally.
