What is the problem?

Well basically the problem is that the world is run on currencies that are not backed with anything more than reputation.

Currency really is no more than a piece of paper that we all agree is worth something. It used to be that the dollar was backed by gold reserves but during the Nixon administration that all changed with a stroke of a pen. President Nixon changed the law that required all dollars be backed with gold and when he did that the dollar instantly became a currency.

You may wonder why that is a big deal well here it is. Instead of having to acquire more gold to expand the money supply all the government needs to do is to print more money. With that can come the abuse of power and potentially a collapse of the monetary system not only in the USA but in the world. Since 2007 the supply of printed money has gone from $825 billion dollars to $1,700 billion dollars.

The interesting thing is that most countries around the world back their weak currencies with the weakening USA dollar. What other choice do they have? The Euro? Yen? Peso? They are all in the same boat. They are all currencies.

Think about it for a moment.. If there is more money out there is that going to increase or decrease what things cost? What do we expect to see happen? Inflation? Deflation?

The reality is history shows us without fail that there will be inflation and that will eventually lead to a market collapse. In this case a global meltdown.

The new economy

I think it is about time that we faced what the realities of our new world. It isn't business as usual and I don't believe that it will ever go back there again. If we take a look at all of the indicators it points to the simple fact that economically we are in trouble.

Some people say that we are in recovery. Others say that we are on the verge of collapse on a global scale. Over the next several weeks and months I would like to explore this very idea and what are some of the possible solutions to the problem.

I would love to have feedback from anyone who would like to comment.

“What is market analysis?”

Over the years there have been a lot written about real estate investing and how to get started. There have been volumes written about creative financing, but how do we get started. When we talk about becoming a professional investor we need to understand what are a professional investors and what do they do different than the hobbyist investor.

Professionals begin by understanding the market. So let’s start from the beginning what is the market and is there a way to understand it?

The market could be as large as a city or as small as a neighborhood. In fact we should consider that we could track trends on a larger level such as state and regional levels, but when it comes right down to it we should keep our market analysis on a city-by-city level or smaller.

The reason that we keep our analysis on a smaller scale is because the factors that we look at for market analysis can change on a city-by-city level (see further articles for details). What we are really trying to do is to gather the data necessary from a neighborhood, city, etc to find out if it is a good place to invest. Meaning is the property too expensive and the rent too little to create a positive cash flow? Is the crime rate too high? Are there enough renters in the market to keep our property full? And may more factors that we need to take into consideration as we analyze our market.

Let’s look at it from a different angle. If we don’t know what our market is doing then there is a good change that we are going to lose money. This article is being written as our country is going through some tremendous changes economically. A new president has just moved into office and there is a sense in the investment community of lets wait and see.

There is a danger in that approach because potentially if we really understand what is happening in the real estate market then we can take advantage of what is happening instead of waiting for someone else to tell us now is a good time or not to invest.
