A Senior Moment
March 23, 2007

    A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation. "You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear more...

February 28, 2007

    The recent correction in the stock market has occurred earlier than expected, this at the tail end of the correction in home and land prices. My data, research and analysis of the country properties market is that the market peaked in the late summer of 2005 and has now hit the bottom after an unusually long correction period of approximately 18 months. more...

Return of the Pilgrim: Old Thoughts for the New Year
By B K Haynes, Accredited Land Consultant

I live in a house that was built before the Revolutionary War.
After my wife died in 1988, I built a sanctuary and a study in one of the old rooms.

     I had been studying world religions and metaphysical books for several years. So my library is full of spiritual literature. Over the old fireplace I had hung a picture of Christ. He is standing in a pasture.
All around him are sheep. And he’s holding a lamb in his arms more...

21 Reasons the Sky Ain't Falling on Real Estate - and How to Profit if it Does
By B K Haynes, Accredited Land Consultant

It’s true. The sun is setting on the real estate market. But the sun also rises.

Figures from the National Association of Realtors show that, in mid-2005 --at the peak of home buying activity in the U.S.--an historic 40% of these residential units were purchased for investment or for use as second home.

Will this speculative activity and glut of homes cause
the real estate market to continue to underperform?

Successful investors in such lively real estate sectors as homes and land understand the fundamental factors that influence present and future market values. And skillful players in the race for profits tack toward the following trends as these tendencies become apparent and give direction to real estate price movements: more...

Cracking the code of the next bubble burst in real estate

By B K Haynes, Accredited Land Consultant


In a recent conversation about the coming bubble burst
in real estate I heard the code words, “DEEP PLACE” What do they mean?

These two words unlock the code that reveals when the bubble burst will actually occur, the reasoning behind the theory, the effect on our economy, and investor reaction to unfolding concurrent events. Demographic shifts and cyclical economic trends are both at play in the following scenario. "D" means deep trouble for the country at the end of the decade - 2009 more...

Wisdom from one of greatest and most loved people
of the 20th Century - Mother Teresa

ON THE FEAR OF CRITICISM
The Creator has given you the power of controlling your
own mind.Through the fear of criticism you relinquish this
power to others who may, in turn, successfully direct it to whatever ends they may choose. In afree society, your
only limitations are those that you set up in your ownmind (through fear) or permit others to establish for you
(through criticism).

_______________

DO IT ANYWAY

People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa
