CashNetUSA Responds to Readers
Posted on October 27th, 2010
Our CashNetUSA family was overwhelmed with feedback from our last post “CashNetUSA Looks into Your Budget Mirror.” Our readers actually sent us more excuses about not saving money. Excuses they have heard, or told themselves. Your CashNetUSA family wanted to list some of the “best” excuses and solutions our readers shared.
- “I don’t earn enough money.” – We always want more. Every person you know can probably tell you that they don’t make enough money. Start by tracking every expense you have over two weeks to a month. Then create a budget by differentiating between costs. You’ll realize you can start saving sooner than you thought.
- “I’m too young to save.” – The best time to save is when you are young. No mortgage, debts, or children? No better excuse than to use some of that income to save.
- “I deserve to spend the money I earn.” – Of course you do. However, there is a difference between spending responsibly with a budget, and spending with no budget. Always make sure to pay yourself when budgeting. This way you can feel good while saving.
- “I’m not good with money.” – You’re either not good with money because you avoid thinking about it, or have not learned to deal with it. Pick up a book, read a blog (like this one), or talk with your friends. Everyone has to learn to deal with their money. Start now.

Purchasing Real Estate Property In Minnesota
Posted on October 23rd, 2010
You can make a healthy supplemental income just by purchasing some real estate in Minnesota. Unfortunately, you can lose a lot of income with real estate as well. Your skills as a property investor will largely determine whether or not you earn or lose money. I wrote this article to tell you about some of the skills you should improve so that you’ll make more money as a real estate investor. I’ll even tell you where you can go to build up your real estate investing team.
The first thing you will need to do is to determine which kind of real estate investing is best for you. Are you going to invest in residential or commercial property? Will you buy rental properties for long term investing or will you try to do a quick flip? Choosing one type of investing to focus on will allow you to become great. Becoming an expert is easier if you focus all your energies into one topic. Once you’ve mastered one form of investing, you can then move onto something else.
Now that you’ve decided on and mastered an investing platform, you can move onto mastering your market. You’ll want to focus on one particular market at a time. Looking through all of the Minnesota mls listing is much more difficult than simply looking at one local towns mls listings.
Choose an area that is close to your own home. You’ll want to be within a fifty mile radius of your own residence. It is much easier to inspect properties and deal with emergency situations when you live close to your tenants.
When choosing an area you might want to consider purchasing in a neighborhood with newer homes. Even though the price might be higher, you’ll be able to get your utilities separate. Its tricky to manage houses that have master meters rather than split utilities. You’ll have to try to bake the cost of utilities into your rent which can be tricky due to fluctuating commodity prices.
Make sure you have a good team to invest with. You can find a realtor at www.mnrealestatesearch.com. This company has experience in Minnesota and can help you quickly master your target market. You’ll also want to find a flexible lender and a knowledgeable accountant. Over the years your team will prove invaluable. Make sure the team has a clear idea of what you hope to do with your investments. With a little bit of clarity, they’ll be able to lend their aid to you with ease
