PropertiesRe: Recession: 7 Proven Ways To Locate And Buy Houses From Desperate Landlords by midiwifi(m): 1:37pm On Sep 26, 2016
househunterman:
Are you serious about buying your own house during this recession with little money down? Are you confused as to how to go about it? Kindly take your time to intimate yourself with these pieces of advice and you are on your way to adding more cheap and quality houses to your property portfolios.
-You can write neighborly letters to property owners around the location you wish to have the property. This narrow down your search for desperate landlords who are your main target. These ones are no longer emotionally attached to their houses. They want to sell because they need money badly.

-Taking local ordinances into consideration, place I-buy-houses-for-cash signs at targeted area. Follow this up with distribution of flyers around the location of your choice. Your intended audience will get this message and respond almost immediately. I have been using it for years now and its working perfectly well for me.

-Position yourself as a new property investor in town and write to financial houses, lenders and creditors of your desire to buy up seized or liquidated houses with no litigation/legal encumbrances involved. Request to have access to these houses. Trust me, you will be in-undated with different properties from all over the country. Then you can choose and price accordingly.
You could also get words around to practicing real estate agents, home builders, surveyors and real estate investors about your specific needs (Type of property, location, features, pricing, construction materials used & ambience). Request to meet landlords one-on-one. They will bombard you with different options. Ask them to whatsapp more media info of these houses to you.

-When utilities are in a state of disrepair, when roads, electricity, water and even security of an area is nothing to write home about: Then, there are inherent opportunities present in this instance you may wish to consider on the long term. The truth is, many desperate landlords who hitherto have been in the area for many years may want to dispose these houses and relocate having been tired of waiting for government intervention that is not forthcoming. Thereafter and unexpectedly, government may give such an area needed attention it deserves. Prices of houses in these areas could sky-rocket to high heavens. Then you are bountifully rewarded for your foresightedness. The fact is, there are many of such areas in our country of today. So, put on your thinking cap and get smart!

- Avoid relying fully on online property listings and adverts as majority of landlords you meet there are business minded people who have invested considerable amount of their earnings with eyes focused on making huge profits. Their offering and net prices for houses are often way too high for a smart person like you to stake your scarce resources.

-Capitalizing on custom, ignorance and tradition: It’s been established time and again that an average landlord in this country is proud, secretive and highly reservative when it comes down to selling his house. He sees his house as iconic, historical and a family treasure that should continue to be bequeathed to his unborn generations. Hence, he’s unwilling to sell the house in question even when it is clear he can no longer address the dilapidation issues associated with such. Moreso, he doesn’t want to be seen as prodigal. He dislikes any form of advertisement of his property. He knows this will rub badly on his ego. This is one single reason while it’s difficult to locate good, desired and available houses for sale even with money-bag investors walking around looking to buy same. These categories of desperate landlords prefer secretive selling options. Yearly hundreds of such houses are being sold through this option. But when he’s hit with debilitating economic conditions due to recession like we’re having it now, then he succumbs. Also loss of spouse , divorce, relocation due to transfer, retirement, payment of fees of children in ivy league schools at home and abroad are some of the many factors that could economically handicap a landlord to want to desperately want to sell his house. As a smart and focused person, this is where you cash-in considering the location and structures of the house you are interested in.

-In conclusion, hone your negotiating skills. Do not allow your emotions to interfere with your ability to obtain the best price on your new house. Slash the offering or asking price down considerably. Don’t be in a hurry to close the deal. Politely, tell him you have other options. Point out all the grey areas in the structure and location, water the property down. Pretend to walk away. If he’s truly interested in selling, he‘ll call you to offer better prices.
Applying one or more of these non-exhaustive steps could go a long way in assisting you to meet up with your yearnings of becoming a landlord or real estate investor during this recession. Should you require further assistance. Kindly check my signature.

BusinessRe: Why Can't A Country Just Keep Printing Money And Become Rich by midiwifi(m): 2:02pm On Jun 01, 2016
This is why we should return to gold standard. We don't have money in our today's world, what we have is currency.

What is money? All these features comes to mind; portability, durability, fungibility, acceptability except - Store of value.

When we say store of value it simply means it can be stored for a very long time and still purchase the same commodity/service it will purchase today.

Your currency is not backed by anything it is simply a promissory note issued by your govt there by leading to more excessive spending which ultimately leads to deficit spending.

When you hear terms like bail-outs, quantitative easing all these terms simply means the govt is printing more money.

With all of John D. Rockefeller's wealth he wasn't called a billionaire in his time. But today billionaires are almost in every state in Nigeria. This is not because they are more successful than Rockefeller it's just that there is more money in circulation than in Rockefeller's era.

Don't be surprised if future generations have trillionaires. This is just simply having more and more money in circulation.

Do you know that even the American dollar is a fiat currency? This means it also loses its value over time.

In conclusion we have to return to real money which is gold and silver.

It's now obvious that the PDPians are cowards. If you're so sure your boss would win the Election, then let's go on with the Election. Buhari is no longer a serial loser. PDPians are cowards.

Looking forward to opening a weeping thread for the PDPians when Jega finally announces that the Election would still hold on the scheduled date!
Your leader that is not a coward has no certificate, runs from a debate that his party initiated and here you are typing trash.

SportsRe: Ikpeba & Adepoju Differ On Oboabona's Arsenal Trial Request by midiwifi(m): 6:31pm On Aug 02, 2013
How old was Oxlade Chamberlain before he was signed by Arsenal?
Theo Walcott was signed by Arsenal when he was not even eligible 2 play in the Premiership.
Could signings like Fabianski, Djourou, Chamakh, Cygan, Silvestre etc be compared 2 Obaobona?. Wenger has lost his eyes 4 talents, even wen he sees one, he allows emotions 2 be cloud his judgement.
If the likes of Real Madrid, Barçelona and Bayern München call Obaobona for trials, I'll understand though it may still not be proper. But not a club like Arsenal.
Arsenal is presently, among the least dominating clubs in europe. Worse still, their wage scale is nothin to talk about. Then such a club will ask an established player 2 com 4 trials. SMH in pity 4 not just the club called Arsenal but even her fans and shareholders.

PoliticsRe: 11,000 Youths Renounce Cultism In Bayelsa by midiwifi(m): 1:03pm On Jun 06, 2013
How many people are in Bayelsa? Does it mean everybody in that hellhole is a cultist?

It is people like you that claim 2 reside in V.I, while you actually reside in Okokomaiko.
Having said that, I think the governor is derailing from its core objectives - capital intensive projects that will affect lives positively.
He hasn't provided any form of employment opportunities for the unemployed graduates in the state he is busy talkin about cultists. Is it not this same governor that arrested, detained and has taken to court the unemployed graduates that were exercising their fundamental human right via a peaceful demonstration?
Mr governor, U r trying to re-integrate these people into the society as u claim, then what is ur plan for the unemployed graduates in the state?
My dear governor power comes and goes but what you achieved during ur stay in office is what u'll be remembered for. Your predecessor can not even go to his village because he is a rep.roach to his own people.
A word is enough for the wise.

A very interesting topic if u ask me.
Am not in support neither am i against it. But I'll like 2 ask d sistas dis question - If ur brother comes home and introduce a girl u knw very well that has/have a child/children as his fianceé, what will u ladies say? Believe me 80% of girls will be d first 2 crucify their own brother. They'll make statements like "of all the single ladies, it is dis one u see? Mtchew". Others will even go as far as sayin the girl has put jazz in their brothers food and he has eaten it. My point is: it is the same ladies out of jealousy n envy. Even we guys wouldn't mind in some cases but our sisters n mothers will call us all sorts of names.

BusinessRe: Soludo Versus Sanusi? Who Is The Better Reformer? by midiwifi(m): 9:04pm On Jul 05, 2012
with these few facts i believe we'll clear the air once and for all.
(1) it was in Soludo's era Nigeria got to experience what we the financiers call universal banking - where a bank can carry out several financial activities including insurance.
(2) bank recapitalisation and consolidation - banks had to increase their capital base from 2billion to a minimum of 25billion. Thereby strenghtening these banks not only to engage in d activities of securing customers deposits but also been buoyant enuf to carry out capital projects to improve the Nigerian economy.
(3) be4 soludo's era, Nigeria had 85 banks that couldn't compete favourably in Africa but during his tenure we have 25 solid banks. Atleast 5 of these banks are among the top ten banks in Africa 2 of these were among the top 100 banks on planet earth. (4) in soludo's era the capital and money mkt was operating vibrantly with foreign investorsqueuing to buy the shares of these banks but it is not the case today.
I could go on... The same banks Sanusi claims are insolvent are the same banks collecting various awards both home and abroad before he(sanusi) became the CBN boss. How could that be possible? All these are FACTS if u care to carry out ur own research. I am saying this cos i wrote an article on this back then. And the project i wrote back then in shool was about bank recapitalisation in Nigeria. No beefin but in Sanusi's wildest dream he can never picture or accomplish what a person like Soludo achieved. It is like asking between Tinubu and Fashola's era as Lagos state governor which is better.

these folks are just making noise. As far as Nigeria is concerned, all the other parties can gang up against PDP but it will amount to nought. This is because PDP has a strong hold on the balls of the man called Nigeria and she is not willing to let go in the nearest future. D children(Nigerians) may not approve of the marriage btw d man (Nigeria) and d lady (PDP). But d lady is not yet ready to file for a divorce. Not now, not in the near future.
