Dryer Vent Wizard Recognizes Appliance Repair Companies for Efforts in Keeping Homeowners Safe and Reducing Energy Usage

The top 11 participants identified 195 homeowners with potential safety hazards and areas where they could reduce energy consumption

Warren, MI – Dayn Benson, VP of Corporate Development for Dryer Vent Wizard (DVW), Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, recognized 11 appliance repair companies nationwide for their efforts in keeping consumers safe from dryer fires and reducing energy consumption with the Dryer Vent Safety Advocate Award.

As part of a national contest sponsored by DVW that ran from April 1st through June 30th , 2008, the award recognizes the appliance repair companies who created the most consumer awareness of dryer vent safety and energy savings with a free meal once a month for an entire year.

“When consumers find their dryer taking more than one cycle to dry a load, they assume it’s mechanical when the real problem is lint accumulation in the dryer vent causing the dryer to work inefficiently and become susceptible to a dryer fire,” says Dayn Benson, VP of Corporate Development for Dryer Vent Wizard.

The winner of the contest is County Wide Appliance Service in Syracuse, New York who identified the most dryer vent safety hazards and partnered with John Stevenson of Dryer Vent Wizard Upstate New York from April through June to address them. Jim Ours, General Manager of County Wide and has worked there since 1968. “Our customers appreciate the specialty in his expertise especially helping us make our customer aware of safety issues in the laundry room. In addition, our technicians can focus on the technical aspects of dryer repair instead of venting,” says Ours.

The top 11contest participants identified 195 homeowners with potential safety hazards and areas to reduce energy consumption. Contest Honorable Mentions are as follows:

Same Day Service in Woburn, Massachusetts
Andy’s Appliance Repair in Wake Forest, North Carolina
Advanced Appliance Services in Gastonia, North Carolina
Betty’s Maytag in Virginia
AAA Appliance in West Palm Beach, Florida
Judd & Black Service Center in the Seattle area
ServiceCare in Birmingham, Alabama
JS Appliance in Miller Place, New York
Landers Appliance in Baltimore, Maryland
Bill & Rod’s in Southeast Michigan

According to the U.S. Fire Administration there are an average of 15,000 dryer fires in the U.S. with an approximate $88 million in property, damage 15 deaths and 400 injuries annually. “Failure to clean” was cited as the leading factor contributing to clothes dryer fires in residential buildings. Similar reports by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, (CPSC), confirm annual maintenance of dryers and dryer vents as a home safety issue lacking consumer awareness.

Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes is a national franchise company under the management of AFS Group of Companies in Warren, MI.

Chimney Problems and Solutions: Chimney Cap, Crumbling Chimney, Chimney Leaks…Rebuilding Chimneys, Chimney Repair, Tuck-pointing, Waterproofing


It is important that your chimney be in proper working order. It main function is to carry hot toxins, gasses and carbon monoxide from your home to the outdoors. If there is a problem with the chimney venting system, it can be a major fire hazard or a health issue if gasses and toxins are not exhausted to the outdoors.


A missing chimney cap:


Allows rain and snow to enter, leading to moisture build-up, causing damages, health issues and the need for extensive repairs


Allows birds and small animals to take refuge and build a nest in a nice warm area, causing a fire hazard by providing fuel for sparks to ignite


Creates a fire hazard as hot embers and sparks escape into trees or fall to the roof or your yard


A crumbling chimney or leaking chimney:

Can fall over and hurt someone

Allow poor exhaust flow and cause a fire

Allow gases to escape into the house

Moisture buildup and mold damages; health hazards

Damages increase over time due to being exposed to all weather elements


The solution is to have your chimney inspected by a specialist, who understands how important it is to have a good quality chimney liner that is strong and durable. Have the chimney waterproofed with a breathable chimney waterproofing substance sprayed on the exterior of the chimney to prevent moisture damage. This will add to the safety value of your home and saves money in energy costs.

Chimney Problems: Diagnosing and Repairing Chimney Leaks and Fire Place Problems



Oh, how annoying! Chimney problems and faulty fireplaces are a frustrating problem for a homeowner to face. Chimney problems can be difficult and time consuming to diagnose. There are many areas that can cause a chimney to leak, including the chimney cap or the crown, or the roof flashing around the chimney, or even porous bricks. It’s much more complicated than you would think. That’s why it is a good idea to have a chimney repair specialist evaluate the problem.

You might have your favorite, all-around handy-man that you regularly consult with for small home repairs, but chimney repairs should be handled by an expert. Remember, your chimney is where hot air and fumes are carried from the home; if it isn’t functioning properly, it could be a fire hazard. If it is not venting properly, it is a potential health hazard.

When using a fire place, heat rises through the chimney, drawing cooler air from the room into the fire place, which fans the fire, increasing he heat, to continue on in a cycle. Like chimney leaks, fire place problems should also be evaluated by an expert. Understanding fireplaces requires scientific knowledge of air flow patterns and pressure differentials. It is also important be experienced with different fire place construction types when choosing materials and supplies and determining avenues of repair.

Do not trust the repair and maintenance of your chimney and fire place to just anyone; call an expert for a professional annual inspection and cleaning.

Chimney Safety Tips from Mark: Prevent Chimney Fires, Save on Energy Costs; have your Chimney Inspected and Cleaned Annually



It is important to have your chimney inspected every year to be sure it is safe and functioning properly. Remember, your chimney exhausts hot, toxic gases and carbon monoxide from your home. Mark Maupin of Brick Repair, LLC, offers the following tips on chimney safety:

Have an annual inspection done by a chimney repair specialist. Cracked, leaky, deteriorating chimneys cause water damage and exhaust flow problems; waterproofing with a breathable substance which is sprayed onto the exterior of the chimney prevents water damage.

Have the fire place and firebox inspected annually for damage and wear; cracked bricks and deteriorating mortar joints; repairs must be made with heat resistant refractory mortar to restore structural integrity. Tuck pointing and repointing is the process for repairing mortar joints.

Put a chimney cover or chimney cap at the top of the flue to avoid moisture damage to masonry and steel chimneys and to keep birds and other small animals out.

If you have a wood stove, you may have a catalytic combustor, which requires cleaning about every 5 to 6 years; check the owner’s manual and stick to the maintenance schedule

A smelly fireplace, known as chimney breath is often caused by moisture, rain and humidity. Early spring is a good time for chimney cleaning to reduce summertime odors from moisture.

Chimney Sweeps are best done in the spring time, in case repairs are needed. Things get hectic in the fall, when most people have their chimneys cleaned, and if extensive repairs are needed, it might be difficult to get them done in time for winter.

Mild winters mean more chance of chimney fires as people choke back wood stoves on milder days, leading to more creosote accumulation. Many don’t realize this, so they put off having a chimney cleaned after a mild winter.

Dry wood is the best wood to burn. Of course, Oak and other hardwoods are the most selected, but softer wood is ok too, as long is it is properly dried. It’s much more important to burn dry wood than to worry about what kind it is.

Stove and vent pipes should be inspected at least once a year and replaced if they show signs of rusting or wear. It is also important that they be properly installed and fastened securely at joints.

Gas logs produce a lot of water vapor when they are burning, which can cause mold and mildew, leading to respiratory problems. If you burn gas logs, it’s a good idea to have a CO detector, which can be picked up at any home-improvement chain store.

Spring time is the best time to have you chimney inspected and cleaned if necessary. It is a great time for any repair or maintenance work to be done to eliminate mold and moisture problems, fire hazards and venting problems. Water proofing, chimney sweeps, chimney liners tuckpointing and chimney reconstruction are best done during spring, to assure safety and proper function in the winter.

Tips for Homeowners: Dumpsters and Roll-Off Rentals are not just for Commercial Projects



Dumpster rentals are essential for homeowners who are doing large home renovation, landscaping or garage clean-out projects. The rubbish will have to go somewhere. Piling it up in the back yard or hiring a hauling service at premium prices isn’t the best solution.

A good trash company will accommodate the homeowner as well. They will explain the options to the average homeowner who may not be familiar with their terminology. Roll-off containers are rented in standard cubic yard sizes. The bigger the job, the larger dumpster you will want to rent.

Be sure to choose the right size container for the job; you will typically want a container that is one size larger than you think you will need. Carpet, scrap wood, drywall, yard waste and rubbish that has accumulated over the years will take up a lot of space. Concrete, rock and dirt will be heavy and should only fill the container about quarter or half full. Your rental company will be able to advise you on this issue.

Different volume sizes come in different dimensions. Height is an important thing to consider when lifting heavy materials over the side; you might ask if you can get a lower container if you’re disposing of heavy items. Following is a description of typical dumpsters and roll-off containers:

10 Cubic Yard Container: 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4 feet high is a 10 yarder. It would be good for a small job, like tearing out a small bathroom.

20 Cubic Yard Container: 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, 41/2 feet high. This is usually the minimum size container for a large job; it will accommodate the rubbish from a small bathroom without overfilling or packing the dumpster.

30 Cubic Yard Container: This is an ideal size; it fits in front of most houses and accommodates carpet rolls, drywall debris and scrap wood without too much trouble. It’s also good for disposing of concrete or rock.

40 Cubic Yard Container: This is the size for very large demolition and renovation jobs. It’s 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and eight feet high and will serve most needs.

Decide on the size container that is right for your job, then plan where it will be placed for filling. Remember, you cannot move it once you’ve started filling it. Plan where you will be parking, whether or not you need vehicle access to and from the garage and consider how far you want to walk the rubbish before throwing it into the dumpster. Be sure the way is clear for the container to be delivered. If you will be placing the dumpster on the street, be sure to check with the city or township for codes and light requirements. The dumpster service company should be able to supply adequate lighting; a local company will most likely be familiar with the rules and regulations.

Don’t forget to be sure the way is clear when it come time for the dumpster or roll-off container to be picked up. If the driver cannot get to it, he may charge extra for his time and trouble making another trip to pick it up. You may be delayed in having it hauled away and end up paying for an additional day.

Protect Your Identity: Dumpster Divers and Trash Pickers Steal Identities

What do incoming mail and outgoing trash have in common? Both are attractive to the identity thieves. Mail scams happen all the time; your trash is also a great risk to your identity.

One of the most notorious cases of identity theft prosecuted was a case of dumpster diving. Dumpster diving is when someone goes through other people’s trash looking for items they can use or sell.

In most cases, the dumpster diver is looking for clothing or household items, discarded by others, but useful to them. Some are even looking for food. Most dumpster divers are harmless; some are homeless and the items they’re looking for are necessary to their survival.

Then there are the dumpster divers who are desperate; they’re hooked on drugs and looking for whatever they can find to sell and finance their next fix. Back in the 1990’s, Stephen Massey leader of an identity theft ring, meth addict and dumpster diver, stumbled upon the idea of stealing identities when he found barrels of recycled paper in a dump. These barrels contained everything he needed including names, addresses, birth dates and social security numbers.

Massey and his partner were caught and imprisoned in the year 2000. This case led to certain legislative acts forcing corporations and businesses to handle personal information more responsibly. Many use paper shredding services to dispose of paper containing personal and confidential information on their customers.

Corporations and business handling personal information with care is good, but people need to do this at home as well. Dumpster divers also go through trash cans; many have the trash pick-up routes down pat and their own schedules as to when they’ll be in each neighborhood.

Office supply stores sell small paper shredders for homeowners as well as larger, commercial grade shredders for businesses. Very soon, paper shredders will be as common of a household item as the microwave oven.

People should be using care when throwing out junk mail, especially those annoying pre-approved credit card and mortgage loan letters which many people just throw out without opening. These are a great commodity to the identity thief; just what they need to get started in business.


In addition to identity theft, dumpster divers also pose a liability risk to business owners who have dumpsters. Most dumpster rental services provide dumpsters that can be locked at night.

Let’s Talk Trash—Dumpster Rental Service; How it Works


Dumpsters are not just for commercial or industrial sites. Many people who live just outside of common municipalities have to use a dumpster service for their trash pick-up service. There are many different cases where a dumpster rental service is the best option.

A common place to see waste receptacles is in front of a house that is being renovated. These are for disposing of rubbish; that is, garbage that is not food waste. Rubbish is placed in a different section of the landfill because landfills are organized by types of trash and its rate of decomposition.

If you’re working on a large project or clean up and need to have a lot of rubbish carried away, the simplest solution is to rent a dumpster. The dumpster rental company will deliver the container to your home and sit it by the curb or in your driveway. Once you have finished filling it, call the dumpster rental service and have them pick it up and haul it away.

A dumpster is good for the rubbish from a large home-improvement project where you might be ripping out walls, old flooring or bathroom fixtures. The easiest way of disposing of it is throwing it into a large dumpster and having someone haul it away.

A dumpster can come in handy when doing large projects in the yard like cutting down trees, removing shrubs or tearing down an old fence. Moving day is another time a dumpster would be a handy place to throw out whatever you don’t want to take to the new home.

If you’re thinking of renting a dumpster, keep in mind where you want to have it placed. Be sure the area where your want the dumpster and the area leading up to where you want it placed is clear. Also plan plenty of room to park your car if the dumpster is going to be in the driveway. Place the dumpster in a convenient location to your project to avoid spending too much time walking everything to the dumpster. And keep in mind that dumpsters are tall; you might need to create a temporary, but sturdy step to make it easier to heave the rubbish into the container.

Different dumpster rental services have different pricing; some charge by the day; others charge by the weight they’re hauling away. Some may just charge a flat rate determined by the size of the dumpster. Plan ahead and check out several different dumpster services to see what options they have to offer. A good dumpster rental service will be able to accommodate the occasional residential clean-up as well as the large commercial or industrial site.

Spring Clean-up: Trash Bins, Mini-Bins, Dumpster Rental and Roll-off Dumpster Service

Do the neighbors get an eyeful of rubbish every time you open your garage door? Are you’re a pack-rat? Do you have a large, 3-car Garage, but no room for even 1 car? Would you start an avalanche if you were to reach up and pull one item down from the rafters? It sounds like spring clean up time. You will need a large dumpster to throw the trash into. Otherwise, there will be an unsightly pile of garbage in front of your nice clean home when you finish the job.

When storage space for seasonal items becomes packed with other items, like things you mean to fix or repair or materials for unfinished projects, outgrown clothing, items the kids left behind when they moved out and many other things that accumulate over time, the job is often much larger that it looks. Be sure to plan ahead before tackling this project; allow twice the amount of time you think it will take to remove the clutter.

Decide what size trash bin or dumpster will be needed to get rid of the trash. You will save yourself a lot of time and trouble just throwing everything into the trash bin rather than stuffing garbage bags, not to mention that huge pile of clutter in the front yard waiting for trash pick-up day.

Be organized when taking on this project. Move the cars and use the driveway as a place to pile everything. Empty the garage completely, sweep it clean and begin reorganizing. This is the time to put up shelves, build a cabinet or install the organizers.

Now that everything is easy to see, you can decide what to keep, what to donate to charity and what gets pitched in the trash bin. Maybe you have things you’ve been meaning to give to a friend or family member, something you borrowed and need to return or things other people left at your home. Have different piles for different categories.

Handle each item just once! Put it in the appropriate pile, on the shelf, in the tool box or in the trash bin. Get rid of whatever you haven’t used in over a year; chances are, you really do not need it and will never use it. Continue with each item until the driveway is clean, the garage is organized and the dumpster is full.

Decide where to store everything. Items like tools or things used on a regular basis should be stored in an easily accessible location. Holiday decorations and seasonal items can be placed on high shelves or up in the rafters area. Remember to allow space for easy access to the lawn mower, bicycles and other large items that will need to be taken in and out regularly. Be sure to make it easy to access with or without the cars being in the garage.

When the project is complete and the dumpster is being rolled away, make a mental note to be more organized in the future; remember how this huge project took all day. Admire your handiwork for a few minutes to appreciate the nicely organized garage you’ve been thinking about and looking forward to all winter. Of course, clutter happens, over time, but a clean-up project this large can be kept down to an annual event if you remember to have a place for everything and keep everything in its place.

Economic Conditions Encourage New Careers in Michigan: Dumpster Diving, Pontiac, Detroit, and Michigan Urban Areas


Dumpster Divers are proud of their ability to provide for themselves and their families, without being forced to beg or steal. There are several different types of dumpster divers; some are actually looking for food! Others are looking for broken or discarded items that can easily be fixed and sold or traded. Some dumpster divers work alone; others team up in case help is needed getting to the bottom of a well packed dumpster.

Dumpster diving is growing in popularity and is most commonly witnessed in urban areas. Many homeless people have their favorite dumpsters to hit at various times. They may not be able to afford to eat at your favorite restaurant, but you can bet they know exactly what time the establishment will be closed and what time the unused portions of prepared food is thrown out. If they are able to get to it in time, and it doesn’t get mixed up with cleaners and buried under other garbage, chances are it will be edible.

One person’s trash is another’s treasure; the broken chair can be repaired; the coat with a broken zipper is better than none for someone who is homeless or otherwise less fortunate.

Some dumpster divers have their own clubs or networking groups. That’s right; this is growing in popularity and becoming a career of choice for many people who have it down to a science. They know the trash service’s pick-up routes and they know when the dumpsters are full and when they will be emptied. They keep in touch with other divers to inform them of when something is discarded that they may be able to use. They team up to help each other when more than one person is required to carry the bounty away. Some will collect useable items they do not need, and trade them to others who do need them.

Maybe one diver lives very close to a bakery and one lives close to a deli; they can get together at the end of the evening for dinner; one provides the main course, the other desert! Or, how about the one who has easy access to the building supply store or resale shop; he can get a good deal on a torn t-shirt or an old pair of tennis shoes, or the scrap piece of plywood that can be supported by two milk crates for a perfectly good table or shelf.

The possibilities are endless; however, there is also the chance of injury and liability issues to be considered. Dumpsters should be locked and secured to prevent the possibility of injury leading to a costly lawsuit. Business owners should be sure they have a secure dumpster and liability insurance to cover them in the event of a break-in.

About Dumpsters: Size, Shape, Type-Dumpster Rental


Spring time is a busy time for dumpster rental companies; if you have a large clean-up to do, book your dumpster delivery early to be sure the company has one available to suit your needs.

Dumpsters are available in a range of sizes and shapes to accommodate any size job for homeowners, business and construction sites. You can get a 2 cubic yard mini dumpster or a 30 cubic yard roll-off dumpster, an many sizes in between. The large roll-off dumpster is usually carried to the site on the back of a truck with arms that lift it on and off the truck.

Some dumpsters have drop-front or drop-side doors convenient for homeowners who wish to wheelbarrow their trash directly into the dumpster. This dumpster is in high demand during the spring and summer months, so book ahead.

If you are a homeowner with a small yard, or it is fenced in or otherwise unable to accommodate a dumpster, you will need to check with your city or township about leaving the dumpster on the street. The dumpster company should be able to provide proper lights for the dumpster for safety purposes, if it will be in the street overnight.

Dumpster rental companies use different bases for their fees. Some charge a flat, daily or weekly fee; others charge by the load or by the ton. Ask around to see what is available and how the fees are structured to be sure you’re getting the best deal and the appropriate size and shape dumpster to suit your needs.

If you are planning a spring-clean up of your yard, basement, or garage consider renting a dumpster to save time on disposing of the rubble. This way you won’t have the unsightly stack of trash bags and rubble piled up in front of your home waiting for your regular trash service. A reputable dumpster rental service will pick up the dumpster as soon as you are through with it, so your clean-up project is complete and the trash is hauled away immediately.

About Container Service: Ash Cans and Trash Bins

Hotel and resort owners know how important it is to maintain the outside of their establishment. First impressions are very important so litter and debris, spread all over the parking lot or front of the hotel or resort will not look good. Unsightly, overflowing trash cans don’t do much for the look of the place either.

To keep things looking nice and neat, have the proper trash receptacles where they are needed. Guests will be happier if there is a convenient place for them to pitch their trash on their way in or out of their room. Remember, they’ve been traveling, eating fast food in the car and they have trash to throw away when they check in.

Place the appropriate sized trash can, trash bin or ash can in convenient places for guests, and make sure it fits without blocking public access areas or creating an eyesore. People are more likely to use them if they can get to them easily and the parking lot and surrounding area will stay cleaner and free of litter.

Ash cans should be placed in typical locations near doors, benches and other outside seating areas, for guests to use. This saves hours of sweeping and picking up trash.

There are many styles of trash cans, garbage bins and ash cans to choose from. Different materials are used for different outdoor places, including heavy duty treated wood, metal, concrete or stone. Some are designed to look nice as well as being functional.

Stone or concrete are great for standing up to harsh weather and they come in many designs and styles from simple to elegant, to match up to the needs of the establishment.

While Diving for Hidden Treasure, Dumpster Divers Steal your Life


While most people think the idea of going through peoples’ garbage is disgusting, to an identity thief the reward is worth doing the dirty work for. The average victim is worth over $30,000.

The scary part is dumpster diving is not a crime if the trash is left in a public place. If it is out on the curb, anyone can pick it up and carry it away. Public dumpsters like those by apartment buildings are not off limits to the dumpster diver. Dumpster diving is only a crime when someone goes through trash on private property, like the trash can sitting out behind the garage.

So, if your trash is out by the curb, the trash picker simply takes it away to go through it and find the valuable information needed to create new accounts, take from existing accounts and take over other personal aspects of your life. This can be done rather quickly and the damage is done before you suspect a thing.

The sad part is it can take over two years to straighten out the mess. It’s so much easier to protect yourself from the start. The easiest way to protect your identity from the trash picker is to shred everything that contains personal information about you and your family. Use a quality shredder that cross-cuts your documents, turning them to confetti, making it impossible for the identity thief to put the pieces of your life together just to destroy it.

Identity theft by the dumpster diver is easy to prevent by taking the time to properly dispose of paid bills, credit card pre-approval letters, mortgage refinance offers and anything that contains personal information, account numbers or social security numbers. Shred everything before putting it out to the curb.

Ashley Tutors’ Helps Students Avoid Summer “Brain Drain”

Innovative tutors use physical activity to make education part of summer fun

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. – Ashley Tutors (http://www.ashleytutors.com) has hired an energetic and diverse team of tutors to put into practice the Ashley Tutors’ motto: LIVE! Learning Is Very Entertaining. The experienced tutors were assembled to make learning entertaining through the use of kinesthetic learning, a teaching style that engages a student using physical activity. Focused on keeping students sharp over the summer through the kinesthetic teaching methods of Ashley Fagel, a Maryland certified teacher working in Montgomery County, Md., Ashley Tutors offers in-home, one-on-one academic help in any subject to Washington, D.C. area students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Research shows children often forget some of what they’ve learned over the summer, according to Duke University education expert, Harris Cooper. Cooper and his colleagues found that achievement test scores declined, on average, between the spring and the fall. “Typically, the first quarter of the new school year is based on students catching up, learning new routines and expectations, and relearning previously taught materials,” said Ashley Fagel, a resident of Montgomery County, Md. and the founder of Ashley Tutors. “I see ‘brain drain’ every September in my classroom. That’s when those kids who took the summer off don’t get back on the learning track for almost three months.”

Ashley Tutors can provide what a student needs to start the school year well. Understanding that everyone learns differently, one of Ashley Tutors’ main goals is to figure out what type of learner each child is, and then meet their individual needs while also having fun. Kinesthetic learners account for 45 percent of the population, according to Muneera Spence, Oregon State University professor. The Ashley Tutors’ team focuses on the kinesthetic method in which a student carries out a physical activity, rather than listening to a teacher talk, and allows a student a two-minute motor break to move around for every eight minutes of learning.
“The breaks taken when using kinesthetic learning styles provide our tutors a chance to get to know each student better and make learning enjoyable,” said Fagel, who was featured prominently in a recent story about summer “brain drain” on NBC 4 in Washington, D.C. “This creates a strong foundation for a successful working and learning relationship that can begin in the summer months and carry over into the school year. Whether it is one of our reading tutors, math tutors or any tutor your student might need, our team can improve a student’s attitude toward learning and boost their confidence.”

In addition to teaming their student up with a tutor, parents can also check out Ashley’s journal on the Ashley Tutors’ website to pick up useful tips on how to keep your student sharp this summer, such as educational computer games or a daily writing journal. “If Ashley Tutors can make learning fun during the school year, I can’t wait to see what they have planned for the summer when there is less homework and more time to focus on my son’s areas of improvement,” said Chris Gault, parent of a student at Ridgeview Middle School. “I know that if I can balance my child’s summer fun and relaxation with educational opportunities, we will be able to set him up for a quick start to the next school year.”

ABOUT ASHLEY TUTORS: Ashley Tutors is an in-home one-on-one tutoring service covering all subjects offered to students in grades kindergarten through 12 in Montgomery County, Maryland. Ashley Fagel, a Maryland certified teacher with more than 3 years in private tutoring experience advises Ashley Tutors, and also developed its philosophy. Guided by Montgomery County resident, Josh Chernikoff, Ashley Tutors is staffed with exceptionally passionate and driven tutors who have college degrees and tutoring experience. Ashley Tutors sets itself apart from other tutoring centers as an in-home service that makes learning fun for its students, and helps students find their way to success in academics and life. L.I.V.E. Learning Is Very Entertaining!

The Ashley Tutors team is poised to help students retain knowledge over the summer break. Pairing your child with Ashley Tutors is just what is needed to start the new school year a step ahead.
“As a teacher, I see ‘brain drain’ every September,” said Fagel, who was featured prominently on NBC 4 in Washington, D.C. in a recent story about keeping students sharp over the summer. “Kids who took off don’t get back on the learning track for almost three months. Typically, the first quarter of the new school year is spent catching up, learning new routines and expectations, and relearning previously taught materials. Our tutors can help students avoid that pitfall by being the catalyst for an educational and fun summer!”

It is difficult for working parents to find time to provide a learning environment for their child in the summer. Ashley Tutors offers the perfect opportunity for your child to receive both an entertaining and educational experience. Parents can also visit Ashley’s Journal on the Ashley Tutors website for useful tips on how to keep your student’s minds moving this summer so they’re not behind next September.

The Ashley Tutors’ team that can make even summer learning entertaining consists of 12 instructors with learning from exceptional college and graduate educations and also come from differing backgrounds with intriguing personal stories. “With a lively interactive teaching method, it is important to have well educated and extremely energetic instructors,” said Fagel. “So, our team has been assembled to be as diverse as the students we tutor all over the Washington, D.C. area.”

How to Start a Business with Less than Perfect Personal Credit.
So there you sit. You have great plans for a great new business – a sure-fire winner. But there’s a problem. You’re pretty sure your personal credit is less than perfect. Well, actually you know it’s in the dumpster. End of dream? No, start of a plan to get this ship out of dry dock.
Here’s what you have to do:
Find out what your credit score is before you approach any financial institution about a loan. Maybe it won’t be as bad as you think, but you won’t know unless you check it out. That means getting your report from all three of the major credit-reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian or TransUnion. This way you’ll find out exactly where you stand.
There’s another benefit here as well. It’s possible your report may contain errors – a late payment, for example, you know you made on time. Or a claim of a missed payment, when you have the canceled check to prove it was paid. Errors do occur, and if you find any, now is the time to get them corrected, before you go out looking for business funding.
But let’s say that after checking your credit report, you determine that it’s correct, and yes, your credit comes up less than stellar. What do you do then? Get moving!
One thing potential lenders really dislike seeing is late or missed payments. If you had a good reason for that error (family emergency, out of country, hospitalized, etc.), write a letter of explanation to the credit bureau. It’s possible you could get it lifted from your report. You could also enlist the services of a credit repair company, if you don’t know where or how to start. And those high interest credit cards you’ve been carrying balances on? Pay them down to 30% of the credit limit as quickly as possible.
And a word about credit cards: Those colorful little pieces of plastic you’re carrying around are probably worth thousands in credit. If you’re like most folks, the temptation to use them to pay for less-than-necessary items (do you really need another flat screen TV?) could be a problem. If you can’t control your personal spending, do you really think a loan officer will think you can control your business spending any better? No! It really isn’t that hard to do, and whatever credit problems you might have, can be overcome by good financial management. You can do it if you want to.
Straighten out your credit problems well before going to any bank. While loan officers look fondly on borrowers with excellent credit, they also appreciate those with less-than-perfect credit who have recognized and corrected the situation. It says a lot about you and your worthiness to receive a loan. The key is to start establishing your business credit so that your personal credit doesn’t become as important. You should start doing this immediately, even if your business is a start up. There are lenders that will loan to start ups as well as established businesses but you must have your business set up correctly as a business and not as a hobby. You can work from your home and still be a legitimate business as long as all your documented information (EIN, State filings, business licenses, business phone number and address) is consistent. This is the key to unlock the doors to business funding.
And finally, one last word about credit: Once you do get your lines of credit or business credit cards, never, ever think about co-mingling your business and personal credit. Keep credit cards separate, as well as bank accounts. The temptation can be awfully strong to co-mingle, but it’s a path you don’t want to go down.

Small Business: You Need Business Credit Options
Credit – it’s probably one of the most important business tools your small business can have. In fact, it’s not only important, but essential. You need it to grow your business, take advantage of equipment and supply sales or leasing, expansion, and a thousand other things.
Most of the time, a small business doesn’t generate enough capital to supply all its needs. So when opportunities knock, savvy business owners turn to the credit market to take advantage and stay ahead of the competition. But what kinds of credit are available to the small business entrepreneur, and what types are best for his/her needs?
There are many types of credit available to business owners with realistic needs. Some secured, some unsecured. Having multiple credit sources available allows a business to pick and choose which one is the best for any given situation. And since no two businesses are alike, it makes sense that different businesses will benefit from different types of loans.
For many small businesses Unsecured Lines of Credit work well. An Unsecured Line gives the owner a lot of flexibility. You use only the amount of money you need, and can hold the rest in reserve. This can be a big plus, because since you’re only using what you need, your payments are smaller. This helps cash flow, since interest payments are only made on the outstanding balance. No collateral is required. That means no personal property or real estate is pledged against the credit line.
Unsecured Lines of Credit have interest rates starting around Prime and go up from there depending upon various underwriting requirements instituted by the bank. Some of these requirements are easily obtainable and some are a little more challenging. It’s best to be prepared when applying for any type of business loans.
Small Business Loans are the most common source of small business financing, after credit cards. There are a number of sources of small business loans, and with good credit, they’re generally not difficult to get. Some of these loans (SBA, eg.) are secured by the government. Result? Interest rates may be lower than conventional loans. They also can carry long repayment requirements which can be a big help with cash flow.
Straight bank loans (not government backed) can be very challenging to get, especially for a start-up. Unless your business has spotless books, and a solid track record over a period of years, or good financial projections for your start up that are created by a professional adviser, this is probably not a good loan to apply for.
Credit Cards are a great source of credit for small businesses. They can be used for everything from gas, to equipment/supply purchases (depending on the amount of your line). Credit Cards give you flexibility second to none, require no collateral, and give you an excellent way to track expenses.
One type of credit that generally gets little thought, but can be a significant player in fattening your bottom line, is Vendor Credit. This type of credit has a number of advantages: It’s free, unsecured, readily available, and easy to qualify for. And it can only be used for buying from the vendor’s products.
As with personal credit, there are a variety of credit sources and options available to small business entrepreneurs. As with any major decision, it’s always best to consider all the options, compare the benefits against the cost, time and effort involved. In some instances you may find that a combination of credit sources may work best for you. In others, just one.
Whichever way you decide to jump, properly used credit can be a huge boost in growing your business, and your bottom line.

Business Lines of Credit with Bad Credit? You better!
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that banks are more than willing to loan money to people with good credit, but shy away from those whose credit is less than perfect. Does that mean the loan you need for your small business is doomed? Not necessarily, because bad credit financing does exist.
First, there are other lenders out there who will, and they generally come in two forms – wealthy individuals (often local) who will make loans to local businesses. Uncovering them may take a bit of detective work, but they certainly are there. Then there are firms that specialize in small business loans to those whose credit is shaky. There are hundreds of them across the country, and they can easily be found on the Internet. But just because they’re there, doesn’t mean they’ll automatically approve your loan. Far from it. You have to persuade them that you’re a viable candidate, and to do that is going to require some work.
Here’s what you do: The very first step is separate your bad personal credit from your business credit. This is very, very important. You can do this by forming a corporation (S or C) or an LLC (Limited Liability Company) and applying for an EIN (Employer Identification Number). This allows you to begin establishing a business credit profile that’s completely separate from your personal credit. It’s like starting with a totally clean balance sheet.
The next step is fairly obvious. You have to build a strong business credit profile. That means finding suppliers who will report your payment history to the business credit bureaus-Dun and Bradstreet, Experian, and Equifax and making sure you are paying your suppliers on time, and adhering to other sound business practices. Make sure all your business information is correct and consistent with all of the business credit bureaus. Also, bring in a good financial consultant to prepare financial statements for your company. Any potential lender you contact is going to want to see a strong, professionally prepared financial statement. Even if your business is a start up you can still put together a financial statement with projections. This is acceptable to most any lender. Remember that you’re asking for unsecured lines of credit, which means you don’t have to use assets for collateral. Don’t even think about trying to do this yourself. Really!
And, of course, there’s still the problem of your personal credit situation. Even though you separate it from your business, it’s not going to go away, and will still be a factor in many lender’s decision process. You’re going to have to show that you’re making progress in rectifying the situation. This includes your ability to explain why and how your bad credit happened, and what steps you’re taking to remediate it. So pull your credit from all 3 credit bureaus-Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union and review it. If you’re unsure how to read them, enlist a credit repair company to assist you. Lenders want to see that you’re making an honest effort to correct past mistakes and avoid them in the future.
Essentially, it’s important for you to know that there are lenders out there (many in fact), who are willing to loan your small business money, even if your personal credit is pretty suspect. These companies, and individuals, make their money by making exactly these kinds of loans. It’s their business. Their specialty. It’s what they do. They want to loan you the funds you need. But it’s up to you to put in the effort and make the case that your business is worthy of the line of credit you seek. Remember, the lender is only looking for one thing: Your ability to pay back the loan.

Business Credit Cards: Awesome Business Tools

To any business, either a start-up or established, business credit cards can be very valuable financial tools if managed properly. Remember also, that because they’re business credit cards, they are unsecured and do not report on your personal credit report. Which means there is no collateral tied to them. Great benefit!! But if used improperly, it can have a devastating affect on your business’ credit profile, and hence, your business itself.
Managing your business credit cards doesn’t require an MBA from Harvard, or a financial specialist looking over your shoulder every time you plunk it down. But it does require careful monitoring, and plain old common sense. Here are a few tips you can use to get the most from your business credit cards:
· Always apply at your primary bank first. Why? Because you’ve already established a banking relationship which can pave the way for an easy application process. In short – they know you. Once you get the business credit cards, and pay them in a timely manner, it will increase your credit worthiness in the eyes of the bank. This will be of significant help when you apply for additional business lines of credit later on.
· Never co-mingle your business credit cards with your personal credit cards. However, here’s a little secret to the game. If you have business debt on your personal credit cards, transfer balance the debt to your business credit card and this will immediately improve your personal credit score by lowering your debt to income ratio. This is a huge benefit of being a business owner.
· Once your business credit is established, you’ll be deluged by special offers from credit card companies on a daily basis. When you’re invited to apply and the offer is good, then apply. Remember this: Just because you have applied and received a business credit card, doesn’t mean you have to use it immediately. It’s always a good idea to have extra “Rainy Day” money available. Every business goes through ups and downs and having the money available can be invaluable during one of those down times. It’s always easier to get money when you don’t need it.
· By all means, use the grace period when paying your business credit cards. Most providers of business credit cards offer a 21-day grace period before payment is due. This can be a big help in improving your cash flow, and it’s built-in for you to use. Don’t abuse it, and don’t pay later than the grace period deadline, however.
· Like many business transactions today, you can pay your business credit card bill online. This may not sound like such a big deal, but when you think of the time and effort it takes to write out and mail a check, it’s really a good deal. Especially since the mail can sometimes be unpredictable. Knowing you can choose the exact date your bill is paid, is priceless.
· Do not pay your credit card bills late! Yes, take advantage of the grace period, but paying late, especially if it develops into a habit, will end up costing a lot more than the actual bill. Late fees will bring about higher interest rates. But more importantly, late payments will go straight to your business’ credit profile – and you don’t want it there, especially if you plan on trying to get a line of credit from your bank or lender in the near future. Pay the bills on time, if possible.
Finally, always remember that your business credit card can be a very effective tool in managing your company’s finances. But like any tool, if handled improperly, it can cause irreparable harm – in this case, to your company’s business financial profile. Use it wisely!

The Information that Banks will need for Business Credit Lines.

Getting a business credit line from a bank isn’t the easiest thing to do – especially if you’re a start-up. Seed money, working capital, and other forms of loans, require that you pass a series of credit related checks.
So what do banks look for, and what can you expect? We’re going to tell you.
High on the list of establishing business credit is, of course, your personal credit history. No surprise there. If you’re a start-up, lenders will be looking at your personal credit. Banks won’t want to see late payments, missed payments, liens or a bankruptcy. The negative impact of these, and other credit deficiencies could have a substantial impact on your loan request. A late payment, here or there, won’t kill your chances, but if there’s a pattern of late payments, it very well could. If, however, you have a good explanation as to why these credit deficiencies exist, your chances of approval could increase. It’s probably a good idea to check your personal credit reports to clear up any possible discrepancies that could adversely affect your application. If your business is a start up, you may need to use your personal credit in the beginning, and while you’re doing that you can begin to establish your business credit profile as well.
But let’s say you’re already in business, and haven’t established a business credit history yet. Now it’s your business’ credit that comes into play. Dun and Bradstreet, Experian, and Equifax are often the sources the banks will turn to when reviewing your business credit reports, including history, public record information, company background and supplier payment history. Whether you’ve been in business one day or 10 years, if you haven’t established a business credit profile, then your business is still at Day One. But it’s never too late to get started. If you’re a start-up, the bank is going to look for some solid financial projections. Remember the projections you use, are based on the assumption that you’re going to get the financing needed. Work with a financial specialist to put your numbers together. The money you spend on a financial consultant will be well worth it, and the bank will appreciate your professionalism.
If you’re already in business, the same applies. But now you have real figures to present to the bank. Assuming that they’re good, that should be it, right? Wrong. The bank is going to want to see what you want the loan for. Working capital, expansion, new equipment are always good. A loan to take your top producers for a rewards week in the Caribbean is not.
Collateral doesn’t have to come into play when you apply for business credit. Why is this? Because the banks lend business lines of credit without it. They’re called unsecured credit cards and unsecured lines of credit. These are great avenues for any business that perhaps doesn’t have the business collateral. It’s never a good idea to use personal collateral to fund your business. The banks will generally lend up to $50,000 without collateral on these types of loans. The banks do require a strong business credit profile and sometimes a good personal credit profile and these can be easily established and obtained. Lenders know that there’s a strong correlation between your commitment to your business and the loan being repaid.
In the end, getting business credit is all about the figures. Do they or don’t they work. If they do, and if you present your case in a straightforward manner, you’ll put your business in the best light, and in all probability, get the loan. Always remember that the bank wants to lend you money. It’s up to you to show that you can repay the loan.

You can start a Business With Lousy Credit

You may be trying to start a business, or have one that’s in its initial stages. Your idea is great, your plan is flawless, and your product or service is ready for the fast lane. Only problem is, that super-charged, can’t-miss-small-business of yours is sitting by the side of the road. It’s stuck, and it’s out of gas.
The analogy may not be great, but if you’re in that type of situation, you know what it’s all about. Your personal credit rating is less than stellar. You found out just how bad, when the bank’s Business Loan Officer gave you a look of horror when you told him what you wanted to borrow, and why.
Let’s face it, he probably couldn’t wait to get you out of his office fast enough. Is there anything you can do to jump-start this situation? Yes there is. In fact, there a number of avenues you need to explore.
First things first. There are three credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You want to get your tri-merge credit report, which is a report from all 3 credit bureaus. Once you get them in hand, you’ll have a clear idea of exactly where you stand – and just as importantly, why.
Review each and every report. Look for errors, because (guess what), the credit bureaus do make them. Maybe a bill they’re reporting as unpaid, involved a dispute. Maybe a credit card purchase wasn’t yours. If you find any glitches, report them immediately to the credit bureau involved. You can also enlist the services of an established credit repair company, if you’re not sure how to handle the disputes yourself.
Creating a business credit profile can also be an answer to your credit issue. By creating a business credit profile, you can start establishing credit for your business, which is separate than your personal FICO score. Establishing a business credit profile can help you get your business started while working to improve your personal FICO score. Once you establish your business credit profile your business can start applying for business credit cards and other types of business financing.
But, when you get business credit cards, keep your personal and business credit separate – very separate. Many folks fall prey to the temptation of using business credit cards for personal expenses. This is more than a red flag to business lenders, it’s a giant red balloon. Commingling your funds can cause many problems for your accountant and attorney. When you commingle your personal and business funds, you open the door to lawsuits and your bookkeeping becomes a nightmare.
Business credit cards can be a great source of financing. One misconception is that business credit cards have a high interest rate. This just isn’t true. Many business credit cards fall in the interest rate range of 8-14%. But more importantly remember this; it’s not always the cost of money that’s important, but the availability of money. Wouldn’t you like to have an extra $30,000, $50,000, or even $100,000 right now to start or expand your business? Make sure you are diligent about making payments on time and, two things will happen: First, the credit card company will court your business, and probably offer you a credit line increase. Second, your credit standing will improve with the bank. Bank’s love it when you’ve demonstrated the ability to pay off a loan – even if it’s not theirs.
Finally, make certain that you use your credit wisely, and strictly for the business. And more importantly, to improve the business – new equipment or hiring employees, marketing, whatever it takes. This will show a Loan Officer that you’re serious about what you’re doing, and will make you a more attractive loan candidate.

Obtaining Business Lines of Credit To Fund Your Business

Let’s say your business needs a capital infusion. Things are going well, but you need extra cash to expand, hire new employees, make improvements, increase marketing – whatever. Where do you turn to get the cash you need? Can you leverage your business to fund your goals? And how do you do it? Actually, there are more ways of getting funding than you probably thought.
Assuming your business is in good shape, pays its bills promptly, has a good cash flow, and is professionally managed, you have a lot of options. You can probably narrow down the list by scratching off Venture Capitalists and Angels. The former are only interested in lending you money if you plan to go public at some point. Angels (not the celestial kind!), might be interested if you have a lock on the, “next big thing,” but only if the payoff is calculated in the tens-of-millions of $$. You may not be quite there yet.
What does that leave? One valuable option is to start creating a business credit profile for your business. Creating a business credit profile can be done easily and can offer any number of business loans, from Working Capital, to Lines of Credit, to Construction, to Term Loans, to even business credit cards. If you already have a good working relationship with your Business Loan Officer, this is probably the first place to look, once you have your business credit profile in place. They know you, and you’ll be able to skip much of the red tape. This makes sense a lot of the time. But hold on! You have quite a few other options available.
Business credit cards, for example. All major business credit card companies have branched into commercial lending. Obtaining cash from this method is usually easier than other sources. However, this method of financing still needs an established business credit profile. Because lending institutions don’t lend money to sole proprietors. That’s called a personal loan. This is one option to be considered. Business credit cards can be useful in many ways and have reasonable interest rates as well. Once you have established your business entity, you will be receiving numerous offers from business credit card companies to apply. This is a great way to have access to capital. Remember that your business credit cards do not show up on your personal credit report. So any business debt that appears on your personal credit can be transferred to your business credit card, freeing up your personal debt to income ratio. This will increase your personal credit score almost immediately. Many times the credit card companies will offer 0% interest for a limited time (I’ve seen up to one year), then have a reasonable interest rate afterwards (anywhere from 8-14%). That’s far better than a hard money lender or private lender.
Then there’s unsecured lines of credit. The objective is to stimulate micro-enterprises and provide unsecured loans of up to $50,000 to small businesses. You can apply for unsecured lines of credit through your bank or many other institutions that offer them. Once again your business credit profile will need to be in place. Typically, an unsecured line of credit has an interest rate of Prime plus one or two points, depending on some factors that are taken into account. But the bonus here is that the money is unsecured which means you don’t have to put up any collateral for it. This type of lending does not require any financial statements as well. This gives you flexibility especially if your business doesn’t have a great cash flow yet. This is a great method for obtaining capital for your business whether it’s to expand, advertise, or market a new idea.

HOW TO RAISE BUSINESS LINES OF CREDIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS
So there you are – you’ve done all your research, scoped out the competition, found your marketing niche, and spent countless hours planning precisely how you’re going to open, then operate your business.
It looks like a slam-dunk, except for one tiny problem – you need a bunch of cash to turn your dream into reality. Sure, you’re willing to put in as much as you can as far as time and effort. Maybe you can hit up your rich Aunt Gertrude for a few bucks. But, you still may need additional cash to get your business up-and-running.
What to do, and where to go to do it? Starting a business cash-poor is the quickest way of having that business cash you out – right on your ear. That will make neither you, nor Aunt Gertrude, very happy. So, you put on your, I-Need-A-Business-Line-Of-Credit hat and do a little thinking. Voila! The light goes on and blinks the word “Bank”. Halleluiah! Let’s open the doors and get this business rolling!
Or not. Stopping in to see your friendly neighborhood banker for a business line of credit takes a little more than shinned shoes, and an honest, open smile. That might have cut it with Aunt Gertrude, but your Business Loan Officer will be a bit more demanding. The Business Loan Officer is going to want to have a serious discussion about your business credit profile. This will help him decide your creditworthiness as a business. And that, not incidentally, is going to bring up the question of how you create one in the first place!
First, it’s essential that you separate your personal credit from your business credit. Reason? Personal credit is for your household expenses and business credit is to start, or expand your business. Your business will need more money than your household. If you use your personal credit to fund your business you could seem overextended to the banks and could be declined for any personal household credit needs, such as a new house or car.
How do you do this? Actually it’s simple. All you need to do is incorporate your business. There are several different entities to choose from, C or S-Corporation, or LLC (Limited Liability Company). That makes your business a self-sustaining entity, and takes away any personal liability.
. Next, Uncle Sam is going to require that your business have a Federal EIN, which is like the social security number for your business. Then, a separate bank account under the business’ name is required. And of course, you’ll need to comply with all local regulations regarding permits, licenses, etc. Naturally, you’ll have to get a business phone number (not a cell phone). You can use your cell phone as a secondary line but the banks will check to see if your business phone number is a land line in your business name corresponding to the physical address you have given as your business address. Now your physical address could be your home. If you do indeed work from home, that’s okay. The important thing is that all of your business information is consistent.
The last step will be establishing a business credit profile with Dun & Bradstreet and the other business credit bureaus. These are the premier credit rating company’s that all banks turn to. To do this, you’ll need to get several business vendors who’ll extend you a small amount of credit. Pay those bills promptly, and those vendors can then be used as credit references. They will be reporting your payment history so the banks can check your business credit.
Getting that first business line of credit isn’t rocket science. It just takes a little bit of work, and a lot of attention to detail.

How to Get Your 2ND Business Line of Credit

Good for you! You were able to get that all important 1st loan to start your fledgling business. Now you’re up-and-running, business is humming, and things are looking rosier than a horticultural shop in May. Time to sit back and smell those roses? Not quite. You’ve gone from working 10 hours a day to 12. You need money for expansion, marketing, people. You need to go back to the bank. But since you’ve already been successful once, you shouldn’t have any problem getting a second loan, right? Should be a snap!
Well, maybe not quite that easy. Because your loan officer is going to look at you just as hard the second time around as he/she did the first. There are no free passes when it comes to getting credit, so you better be prepared to look good.
Here’s how you do it:
· First and foremost, make sure your business credit is in good shape. That means that all business credit cards have been paid in a timely manner, as well as bills from suppliers, utilities and the like. To find out how you stand, check with Dun & Bradstreet. They keep tabs on virtually all small businesses, and will have a record of your payment performance. If by some chance, there’s a blot on your record, find out what it is. You can be certain your loan officer will want to know what’s it’s all about. It’s up to you to make sure it can be explained, or better, removed before you apply for a loan. Don’t have a Dun & Bradstreet credit profile? Get signed up as soon as possible. A Dun & Bradstreet credit profile is the best way to get your business credit on track and supercharge your business with vendors and lenders. This demonstrates to the banks that your business is a real business and not “in a van down by the river.”
· Ask for more than you actually need. It may sound scary, but remember you only use it as you need it. That’s the beauty of unsecured lines of credit. Yes, bigger loans mean bigger payments, but remember you only pay on what you use. This is about getting the right amount of unsecured lines of credit so that you don’t necessarily have to go back to the bank anytime soon. Applying for too small a loan can be just as dangerous as applying for too big a loan. Because then you have to keep going back. If you ask for the right amount then it will sustain your business for a little longer.
· Clear up your personal credit if you have any problems. Your credit was probably pretty good when you were granted your first loan, but if for some reason it’s taken a hit since then, you’d better clear it up – and fast! Even though your business may be booming, lenders know that personal credit problems could carry over to your business down the road. That means getting your report from all three of the major credit-reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian or TransUnion. This way you’ll find out exactly where you stand.
· Anticipate, organize and be prepared when you make your loan application. Sounds simple enough, but have your financial consultant prepare an interim financial statement, incase the banker asks for it. However, remember that you are applying for unsecured lines of credit so you don’t have to put up your business or personal assets for collateral. In short, anything that will make you look more professional and prepared in the eyes of your lending officer, but don’t offer it if they don’t ask for it. The fact that you’ve prepared this material means less work your lending officer. Nothing wrong with that scenario!

Buying a Franchise? How to Buy One that’s Already Successful.

If you want to buy a franchise, don’t buy a new one – buy an existing location that is already operational and successful.

Can you test drive a franchise? Maybe not, but you can certainly ask questions when deciding which one to get into. Visit or call existing franchisees in the same system and see how they feel about the franchisor and the business requirements. Here are some questions you should ask:

Do you feel the franchisor can be trusted? Why or why not?
Are you happy with policies and procedures? If not, what would you change?
Do you feel you’re getting the advertising and marketing support you were promised?
Is the business and profits meeting your expectations?
How would you rate the franchisor?
Would you buy this franchise again, knowing what you know now?
What are the main problems of the business?
Do you believe it has the potential to grow? How?


Once you are satisfied with your research on the franchisor, find out all you can about how the franchise contract is structured. There are many items in a franchise agreement that an investor should understand. Here are a few:


Is the contract transferable or is the buyer required to enter into a new agreement at new terms and conditions with the franchisors?
Does the franchisor have the right of first refusal to buy the business? Typically, they do.
Are there restrictions from owning other franchises or even multiple locations? Some franchise contracts don’t allow you to own other businesses; you must devote your full time to that particular business. It may not even allow you to buy a second or third of that particular franchise.
Will the franchisor assist in the financing? Approval by the franchisor is very often required and you will incur the cost of going through the training before you can close the deal. The approval process can cost up to $3,000 - $5,000, and you can still be turned down. Be sure to understand how much of your time and money is at risk subject to approval from the franchisor.
Your due diligence is very important in researching the franchise. Investigate both the franchise and the franchisor and all issues related to the contract.

Understanding the Role of Business Brokers when Purchasing a Business


Using business brokers to do the hard work can help at times, but they also have their drawbacks. There are some good services business brokers can provide, but don’t confuse using one with hiring one. Brokers don’t work for buyers; they either represent the seller or the deal. They are not trusted, unbiased advisors for the buyer unless they have been engaged by them exclusively and not being paid by the seller.

A common misconception about business brokers is that many relate to them as they would real estate agents. They go into the process thinking a business broker is going to deal with them as a buyer broker, as a real estate agent deals with a homebuyer.

Brokers can help you locate businesses, be a buffer between parties, and assist in putting the deal together. They will not represent your interest or negotiate you deal, or do your work. They will not take you to visit thirty businesses like a real estate agent will with houses.

With so many buyers and few sellers, brokers compete for getting as many listings as they can, good and bad. “There’s a buyer for every business”, in their mind, so business brokerage is a quantity, not a quality oriented business. About 90% of the listings online are controlled by brokers. Business brokers only sell about 4% of the small businesses that change hands each year. They’ll often represent selling more, but studies have shown the number closer to 4%. Eighty percent of online listings never sell.

To get a broker to point out the best businesses for you, it is important to demonstrate to a broker that you are serious about buying a business and you’re ready to buy immediately, should the right opportunity present itself. A business broker’s only asset is their time; they do not want to waste it. They leverage their time most effectively with having many listings and being able to sell them quickly. Impress the broker as a serious buyer to get them to choose you, over hundreds of other buyers, to show the premium listings to.

Points to Ponder when Choosing a Business Broker


Communication and feedback is important within a relationship with a business broker. A good broker will at least respond to all offers and inquiries quickly to show they are serious. Proper business courtesy demonstrates a professional attitude and that they are serious and committed. Another thing to look for is the level of detail in their business profiles.

There is a lot of information to consider when making an offer on a business opportunity listing, including the business’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, marketplace, competitors, legal issues and background. When a broker responds to your inquiry with a one-page description of the business, and does not have much more data or backup to provide to you, you know this broker isn’t going to be the most effective to work with. This shows how little they care to know about their listings. This is one reason why 80% of businesses listed do not sell.

A good broker will do all they can to insure the business will sell quickly if they are doing the seller a good service. They will understand that the seller has to keep running the company as if it is not going to sell. If the seller is forced to focus too much attention on the sale, they will find their business declining. With this in mind, a good broker will provide a good service to the buyer as well, when they care to know enough details about the business to present to an inquiring buyer even though they often represent and are paid by the seller.

There are three important issues to discuss with business brokers:

Ask them to walk you through their process of working with a buyer
Ask if they co-broker deals of if the simply sell their own listings
Ask what is the typical deal structure of their deals

Their answer to the typical deal structure of their deals is an indicator as to how effective they will be as a broker. If they simply answer, “mostly cash,” they are either “bluffing” or not selling enough businesses. If they answer “mostly third-party financing through a bank,” wrong answer, again; only about 6% of deals are financed that way. How about the broker who answers “Most of my deals contain some element of seller financing, creative financing, or creative deal structure.” This would be the broker to deal with. This one clearly understands that every deal is unique and they know how to massage the deal to a successful closing.

Your Time is Precious – Don’t Waste it When hen Searching for a Business to Buy

There are several areas where people commonly waste time searching for the right business to buy. Keep two things in mind when buying a business; there are many more buyers in the market than businesses to be sold and the good businesses sell fast. The biggest competition comes from other buyers; therefore, you need to act quickly on a good opportunity.

There are five typical issues that cause people to waste time:

Turning the search into a looking process rather than a buying process -The Internet is the best and the worst thing to ever happen to the business for sale marketplace. The best because of the abundance of businesses listed and the worst because it leads you to click, click, click to look at them all. We’re too quick to move on to what we think can be a more promising deal to digest the information and make an effective inquiry.

Fear of making an inquiry - It doesn’t cost you anything and you’re not going to do anything wrong. You’re just looking for additional information and making inquiries.

Apprehension about making offers due to missing information - For example, maybe you don’t know all the financial details reported by the business, which could affect your offer. On the other hand, you are worried about losing the opportunity. So make the offer with protective clauses to allow you to back out of the deal and be fully protected.

Letting others dictate the rules - Don’t be bullied by brokers; this is your money, your future, and you are the boss; be in control.

Looking for the Perfect Business - You won’t find it; they all have their drawbacks. It’s up to you to select one which your strengths will be a valuable asset to make the undervalued business and valuable business.

Cut down on the search time to be better spent on improving and growing your new business. Focus on the goal and stick to the plan and move forward.

Resources for Choosing and Researching the Right Type of Business to Buy

Manufacturing, service, retail, wholesale and the internet businesses all have different values. There are software programs available for determining value and helping to speed up the process of researching and analyzing businesses.

Through a good valuation program and interactive software containing legal agreements, templates and sample letters of solicitations you can cut the average business purchasing time by 70%. These time-saving materials can also be a savings on fees charged by attorneys and accountants. Of course you must use an attorney and accountant, but you can save a lot on their fees.

You can use solicitation letters to find businesses that are not currently on the market. The one we use generates as high as a 40% response rate. Follow up letters to send to sellers, forms, logs and checklists, and other interactive resources provide templates for doing your research.

It is important that the area of business you choose to purchase meets certain criteria about you and your needs. Choose business that will benefit from your strengths, while they do not suffer from your weaknesses. One common mistake made by many is turning a hobby into a business. This is a bad choice because their prejudices of the hobby can have an adverse effect on the business. The definition of a good business is one that has a good fit, has the opportunity to grow, make plenty of money and be enjoyable to run.

The resources are endless when considering the purchase of a business. The Internet, business brokers, classified sections, attorneys, accountants, Chambers of Commerce but most of all people are the best resources. Attend workshops and seminars; learn by networking with others who have businesses and get the word out that you are looking to purchase a business.

How to Find an Undervalued Business for Sale at a Great Price

There are over 23 million small businesses in the USA; about 10 million of them are non-home-based businesses. There is no shortage of businesses to be purchased. The key is to get in front of business owners, talk to people in the business community about businesses. Decide what type of business you are right for and begin your research.

An undervalued business is one where the foundation is in place, it is operating and bringing a profit, but not running at its full potential. It could be that the owner is tired, or hasn’t the will or ambition to drive the business successfully. How often have you gone into a local business and seen that it was making money, “in spite of the owner.” They’re not serving the customers properly or their product line could be better. Still, they are making a profit. This is an example of an undervalued business; one you could purchase and grow into a valuable one.

Once you have an idea of the type of business you’re looking for, you need to find a motivated seller; someone who wants out. They may not want out because it is a bad business; there probably isn’t anything wrong with the business itself. There are many valid reasons for selling a business, including death, divorce, retirement and many more.

What is a great price? Different types of businesses have different values. Examples of different businesses are manufacturing, service, retail, distribution or an internet business. We have proprietary software which we’ve used for over 1,000 transactions and specific businesses to formulate valuation. Simply enter in the data; answer the questions related to the business and it generates a valuation report.

The resources are endless when considering the purchase of a business. The internet, business brokers, classified sections, attorneys, accountants, Chambers of Commerce but most of all people are the best resources. Attend workshops and seminars; learn by networking with others who have businesses and research online.

Are You Sick of the 9 to 5 Grind?—Buy a Business and Work for Yourself



I recall reading a study that indicated 74% of people actually hate their job and dread going to work every morning. What would your life look like if you owned your own business? The simple fact that you are working 9am to 5pm is incentive enough to think about making a change. Add the commute back and forth to work and most of your day is spent working for someone else, doing something you hate; in other words, you hate most of your life! It’s time to stop making excuses and start making a change-motivate and create a path to success:

“I just don’t have the time.”

Focus on your goal, not your problems or excuses

Get educated; read books, attend seminars and workshops on weekends and evenings

Network with other business owners-get the word out that you are looking to buy a business

Search the internet for a business during “off hours”


“I’m too old.”

I said to my cousin, “I just can’t believe you’re turning 50!” She said, “It’s okay; fifty is the new 35!”

Colonel Saunders was 67 when he went into the Kentucky Fried Chicken business

35-55 is a great time to go into business for your self. You have years of working and acquiring skills and experience. You have developed the wisdom and to be able to identify your strongest skills and the patience to persevere.

“I don’t have enough money.”


Money is the point of all this and you don’t need as much as you think.

Start small and build something big

Ask for seller financing-if the seller is motivated, he’ll be inclined to agree. This way, he still gets to collect some cash flow from the business without having to run the business. There are also tax advantages to seller financing rather than getting paid off in one big payment at the time of sale.

So, problems are just excuses. Go on doing what you are doing and nothing will change. You will never have the time, you will continue to grow older, and you will not have enough money. Why not make the change? So many others have done it before you, and many more will after you.

Motivate and create a new career and start your new life now!

Buying an Existing Business versus Starting up a New Business

Starting a business is a rich man’s game, and buying an existing business is a poor man’s game. Most people would think that the opposite is true.

There are many advantages to buying an existing business rather than starting a new business. Statistics show that 96% of business startups fail within the first five years, with 80% failing with the first 3 years. With the odds of failure being so high that you are going to lose your entire investment of time and money within 5 years or less, that is a rich man’s game. Anyone who can afford this type of loss must be pretty rich.

Buying an existing business with an ongoing infrastructure of a provable business model, one that has been operating for a few years or more and is making a profit sounds like a much better deal. Profits will flow immediately versus a startup where there is no way to predict when you will be showing a profit. A solid customer base is already formed; people are familiar with what you have to offer, so there is no need for start up marketing.

The history of a business is in place and you can review it to determine potential profits for the future. Policies and procedures are in place, employees are trained, and the business is operating. Simply step into the seller’s shoes, add some of your own personal touches, maybe a new product or service, and you’re on your way to making your new business grow and thrive.

Tips for Buying a Business – it’s Easier and Less Expensive than You Think

Purchasing an undervalued business at a reasonable price can be quite profitable while it accelerates the path to financial independence and eliminates many of the risks of new startups. The key is finding businesses that are already profitable but earning far less then they could be.

An undervalued business is one which is doing well but it is not operating to its best potential. Maybe the owner just isn’t motivated to continue growing the business and updating the marketing techniques. Lack of motivation or desire to keep a business growing is often due to death, divorce, retirement or many other valid reasons. In any event, an undervalued business can be a great deal for someone who is fresh and motivated to improve the business. The idea is to get a good solid business and turn it into a great one.

There are some critical steps to take before becoming a business owner:

Become educated; read how the experts do it, attend seminars and workshops, network with other business owners
Take a self inventory of your own strengths and weakness to determine the type of business that would thrive from your strengths and not suffer from your weaknesses
Discover your passion; what type of business do you see an opportunity for yourself in?
Get the word out that you are looking to buy a business
Keep in mind the restrictions of owning a business; how much work is involved, how much of your physical time is required and whether running the business fits well with your needs and lifestyle.

When you are accustomed to working for someone, you begin to see things as an employee. Many people never get out of the mindset of working for someone as opposed to working for themselves. Going into business does not allow the luxury of getting on the job training, because the goal is to make sure that the money which has been invested is not wasted. The beauty of purchasing existing businesses is that they are not as expensive or involved as people may think. Owning a business is well within reach of the majority of people who want to own a business.

Pat Gage Reveals the Secret to Business Funding

A formula emerges that systematically and predictably puts unlimited capital into your pocket

Detroit, MI — Many real estate investors and business owners are suffering in today’s economy. Some are closing down, others face bankruptcy, because they do not know how to get the capital needed to operate or expand their business. They spend time and money on application fees, phone calls, letters, etc… and just end up frustrated and closer to being broke.

Pat Gage, the Opportunity Creator, went through this too; he nearly went bankrupt, spinning his wheels to obtain the financing needed to run his business. He attended seminars and purchased materials from others who were successful. He networked with others to learn how they managed to finance their business ventures. Through this experience, Pat stumbled upon several key answers, from which he developed his own program. Now he has all the financing he needs, and much more. “Investing in businesses in one way lending institutions make their living, so they want to make loans.

Go Fly A Kite! -- Learn a Life Lesson


Here in the midwest United States it is now spring and yesterday was the first really nice spring day. It was 65 degrees and a beautiful blue sky. So I promised my daughters that we would go fly kites. About 2 in the afternoon we headed out with our brand new kites that my wife had purchased that morning and went to a local park.

We had a lot of fun flying the kites and at one point I was helping my daughter let out all the string on her kite so we could fly it as high as possible. She asked what would happen when we got to the end of the string, concerned that the string would not be tied to the handle and the kite would fly away.

I realized at that point that there was a great lesson of success I could teach my daughters at that very moment. So I explained to them what kept the kite flying high.

The only thing that keeps the kite in the air is the string. The string provides tension on the kite which makes the kite fly higher in the wind.

I then explained to them how life is the same way. We have tension, conflict, and struggles in life, but that is what gives us the opportunity to soar higher. Most people just complain about their problems and want them to all go away, but that is like the string in the kite. Without the tension what happens??

Well since my daughter was so concerned about the kite flying away I had to demonstrate to her what would happen if I just let go of the string. So the kite was flying high and the pull on the string was very strong. I explained to her that we were going to let go of the string to see what would happen. I don't think she believed what would happen.

As soon as I let go of the string the kite started to fall. Because there was no tension on the kite it now just floated with the wind and started falling. It fell to the ground within 100 yards of where we were. My daughter thought it would fly higher and be lost if we let go but quite the opposite was true.

Flying a kite is just like life. Many people think their life would be so much better if they didn't have any struggles, but quite the opposite is true. Without the struggles and the challenges in life we have nothing to overcome, nothing that allows us to become stronger and to soar higher.

So stop right now and think about your struggles. Take a look at them and STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM. Figure out how you can use these struggles to SOAR HIGHER. Use the tension of them to fly higher and overcome and achieve bigger and better things.

So that is why I say Go Fly A Kite. There is a great lesson of life in doing so!
Soar high in life by overcoming your struggles!

Financing Apartment Buildings—Cash on Cash Return and Cap Rates

Financing apartment buildings is a lot easier that most people think. It’s all about the income that is generated from the property. Commercial buyers and brokers use Cash-on-Cash return and Cap Rates to analyze the deal.

Cash-on-cash return is looking at how much money you have to take out of your pocket to purchase the building, then how much you get back at the end of the year after all expenses and debt services have been paid. For example, your down payment and closing cost are $120,000 and at the end of the first year, your profits were $12,000. That is 10% cash on cash return, which is average for an apartment building. Anything less than 10 – 12% return is not a great deal. It means you are either overpaying for the property or didn’t get the best financing.

Cap rates, short for capitalization rates, is a formula that’s used in the commercial industry, to show how much income is being generated from the property had you paid all cash for the property. For example, you paid $1 Million cash for a property that generated $100,000 net operating income. This would be a 10% cap rate. Of course you’re not going to hand over $1 Million cash for a property; this is just to simplify the explanation of cap rate.

Market cap rates vary in different cities and with different classes of apartment buildings. There are 4 different classes, ranging from A to D, A being brand new to 10 or 15 years old, with all the amenities of new buildings including pools, fitness centers and gated communities. Class B are 10-15 years up to 20-25 years old with whatever amenities were most common in their time. Class C are about 20-25 years old up to 40 years old and in need of more maintenance. Class D are like class C, with the only difference being that they’re the ones you hear about in the news, for the wrong reasons.

With good market research and analyzing of the numbers, the lender will be more likely to finance your deal. Remember that the lender is your friend; he has done the same analysis of the property that you have done. He is putting his money on the line, so he will be likely to catch something if you should miss it. It’s a good idea to develop a relationship with a lender and appreciate his concern, even if he denies the loan based on his analysis; chances are, he’s saving you from making a costly mistake.

Boot Camp-Eight Weeks to Educate on Purchasing and Managing Apartment Buildings

Anthony Chara is an experienced investor in apartments who has also mentored hundreds of students. The eight week program begins with a three day boot camp where students are taught the full process of buying apartment buildings, from locating the property, quick analysis, and making an offer.

Many people spend so much time looking into every nook and cranny that they lose their focus and never get around to making an offer. The quick analysis takes about five minutes, then it’s time to make an offer. Since the analysis and offer are made quickly in order to tie the property up, it is important to have escape clauses built into the contract. This protects the investor in the event of an unforeseen detail in the property arises, making the deal less desirable.

Investors also need time to perform their due diligence to confirm the accuracy of the numbers received from the seller are accurate. If there are discrepancies, further negotiations on price and terms are needed to come to an agreement. The final step is to teach students how to close the deal.

This is a lot of learning packed into a three day event. Many come home and put their books away and get back to their same routine. They never take action and apply what they have learned in the boot camp. To avoid having students held back by fear or lack of confidence, there are eight weeks of follow up consisting of teleseminars and webinars to get through that mindset and give students an action plan to follow.

Can a Nine to Five Worker Handle Investing in Apartment Buildings?

You work 9am to 5pm, living paycheck to paycheck, and have very little or no money in the bank. You know there has to be a better way to live. Anthony Chara is a real estate investor and mentor. Read on for a story about one of Anthony Chara’s students.

George did not work 9 to 5; he worked 8am to 8pm, before coming home to his wife and two small children. His days and evenings were eaten up by work and family. Thanks to the internet, he was able to search for an apartment building, analyze the numbers and make an offer. He would often stay up until two or three in the morning. He would send his letter of intent to the seller’s agent in the middle of the night and call them on his way to work in the morning to request they take a look at it and get back to him. That is how he got started investing in apartment buildings.

So, the answer to the question is yes, you can do this part time because you are buying a business. You can have a management company handling the maintenance, collections, accounting and other tasks, while you continue to work your regular job until you are sure you are making enough passive income to give it up if you choose to.

Investing in Apartment Buildings-Market Cycle and 10/31 Exchange

The beauty of owning apartment buildings is the monthly cash flow. But, there comes a time when you have paid so much into the principle and reach a certain peak that you are no longer able to depreciate the building as much as you would like to. How do you determine when it is the right time to sell?

This is a good question for your accountant to answer, but on the average, it is recommended that you own the building for somewhere between five to ten years. Unlike buying a house, fixing it up, and flipping it to make $50,000, you are buying the apartment building for the cash flow. Look at the market cycles because each city has its own cycle regarding apartments, single family homes and the economy in that particular city. There comes a time when you will be receiving maximum rents, getting maximum depreciation and expenses should be under control. When you are no longer able to depreciate the property quickly enough to enjoy the tax benefits that is the time to do a 10/31 exchange, which is when you sell this first building, by a new building, and transfer the equity and start the depreciation cycle all over again for another five to ten years.

Purchasing Apartment Buildings with Seller Financing

There are several ways to finance the purchase of apartment buildings besides traditional financing and conventional mortgages. Seller financing can be a favorable option to both the seller and buyer.

One of the things investors do not think to ask for in purchasing an apartment building is seller financing. There are some sellers who are not open to it because they don’t understand it or they don’t know about how they can reduce their tax liability by accepting monthly payments rather than getting the full payoff up front. They do see a large amount up front, and by taking a carry-back, they continue to receive payments for the next few years. Another advantage is that they continue to see the cash flow from the building without the headache of management and maintenance.

The advantage to the buyer is they are able to purchase the building with less conventional financing. Perhaps they are held back by credit issues and are unable to qualify for the full amount required to buy the building.

Purchasing Apartment Buildings with No Money Down

Is it really possible to buy an apartment with no money down? Absolutely! Anthony Chara, a seasoned real estate investor with over 15 years experience, has mentored several hundred students. Here is his story of how some of his students purchased their apartment building.

First of all, lose the mind set, “I don’t have the money for a down payment.” If you continue to say that, it will be true; you’ll never be able to do anything because you don’t have the money. Realize that ‘no money down’ doesn’t necessarily mean you are buying without making a down payment. It simply means you are using other people’s money.

Two students found a 98 unit building in Louisiana; they each put in $1,500 ($3,000 between the two of them). The total down payment was $300,000! They were able to convince other people to invest in their venture for a return at a later date. They bought the building for $1.2 Million; within 12 – 18 months it should be worth close to $3 Million. They will share the cash flow and the equity with their money partners.

It’s all about mindset. Lose the attitude “it’s too much work,” or “I cannot afford to invest the money.” Look around you; people are doing it all the time. Make a plan and work the plan. Set a goal for yourself and take action now-see yourself as being financially independent and you will succeed.

Time Management Software is a must-have when Purchasing Apartment Buildings

Once you have your business plan down and a team of professionals to work with, it’s time to begin seeing what is on the market. Remember, it’s all about the numbers, total units, market rent, debt service, property taxes, insurance, utilities, management fees, repairs and maintenance and any other unforeseen costs that may arise. The analyzing can take literally days to accomplish.

Investors use two forms of special software to expedite the analyzing process quickly and accurately. One is called the Quick Analysis; it looks at the numbers of as many as 100 deals and generates an income and expense report within minutes. When one found that meets the needs of your team, do your letter of intent to make an offer. The goal is to get as many offers on the table as soon as possible.

The other piece of software is called an APOD, which stands for Annual Property Operating Data. It actually breaks down all the information into a detailed look at the numbers. Rather than just providing total income and expenses, it will show each individual expense amount. These numbers matched up to IREM reports, obtained from IREM.org, and compared to data obtained from property managers in that market to verify and confirm that you are within the right tolerances for each category.

Investing in apartments is a lucrative form of business. The average apartment building is going to appreciate about 5% a year on average over the long term.

Consider the Capitalization Rate when Investing in Apartment Buildings

The difference between determining value when purchasing apartment buildings and single family homes is valuation determined by the capitalization rate and valuation determined by comparables based on supply, demand and emotion, respectively. The decision making process in purchasing an apartment building is all about the numbers, there is no emotion involved.


An apartment complex is valued based on the income generated from the property. Look at the number of units and the average rent being generated by each unit. Subtract the expenses to come up with net operating income, also known as capitalization rate, or cap rate for short. Based on the cap rate for the type of building in your market, you come up with a value. You’re not buying the building because you like the exterior, or it has a nice, big yard. Your lender doesn’t care about any of this; he’s going to have his own set of guidelines for making the decision to finance the purchase. A lender’s decision will be based on the income generated from the property and the average cap rate for the market. The purchaser must show adequate income generation to cover any unforeseen crisis he may encounter, to assure the lender that the payments will be made timely and there will be minimal risk involved in financing your business venture.

Investing in Apartment Buildings versus Single Family Homes

Real estate investing, like any other business venture, has its pros and cons. There are reasons why some real estate investors do better than others; they take the time to fully analyze the deal to make better choices.


Some investors are not aware of the profitability of investing in apartment buildings versus single family homes. Apartment buildings can generate $1,000 to $5,000 a month in positive cash flow, where the profits on single family homes are as low as $100 to $150 per month.

Many investors will not take an interest in purchasing apartment buildings because of their lack of knowledge and experience. They don’t understand how investing in apartment buildings works and they feel they do not have enough money to make this large of an investment. A surprising fact is that it can be easier to purchase an apartment building than a single family home. When purchasing an apartment building, you are buying a business stream of income in which the cash flow makes the payments and pays overhead costs. A lender looks at this when analyzing the risk factor of his investment in providing the financing. So, even if you don’t have great credit, you can team up with other people and borrow-in essence, use other people’s money; use other people’s credit. So purchasing an apartment building is easier because the lender will see that the building stands on it own financially before they even take a look at the borrower.

What it really comes down to is they are limiting themselves with their own thought process, telling them selves “they can’t do it,” instead of changing their mind set and taking action to do what many others around them are doing.

Teamwork is the Key to Successful Investing in Apartment Buildings

Real estate has proven to be an effective means of reaching a desired lifestyle of comfort. The challenging decision to make is the particular area of real estate to go into. The bottom line is whatever area of real estate you enter the key to success is research, networking and coaching.


It has proven that buying an apartment building with a group of people is far more profitable than purchasing the property alone. Building a solid team is paramount especially on the first or second deal. With a team, the risk is being spread so in the event of financial crisis, the team as a whole will cover the challenge. With a team of multi-talented professionals to share the workload, each partner performs their given task, including bookkeeping, repairs and maintenance, collections, tenant relations and more. Each partner is of the same mindset; they share same goals, therefore, they are all motivated to do quality work as their contribution to the venture.

An important step for the team to consider is financing. The lender will want to see an appraisal on the building, and the business plan that shows income and expense flow. During this investigation period the lender will determine profitability of the investment to be sure the venture covers expenses including mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, utilities and repairs. The lender wants to there is enough profit to cover any losses, including vacancies, non-paying tenants, eviction costs, and upcoming repairs and maintenance. The more the cushion that’s left over each month, the less stringent the lender will review the credit worthiness and reserves of the perspective buyers. Simply put, if the investment is not profitable, the lender will not approve the loan. One factor to remember is that when an investor buys an apartment building, they are buying a business. The building must stand on its own financially and create the money to support the business. A great team with a great business plan reduces the lender’s risk concern.
