			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Consultants often toss around the term &#8220;per diem rate&#8221;, but the odd term does make some people wonder what it means. This Latin phrase’s definition is fairly straight forward. Per diem simply means &#8220;by the day&#8221; — the amount the consultant expects to be paid for a day of work. Some consultants only use a per diem rate. Others charge out by the hour and multiply by eight hours to get their daily rate — some discount that a little. And, of course, consultants use many other ways and means of setting consulting fee rates, as I’ve mentioned before.</p>

Unlike standard residential real estate mortgages, real estate investment financing is way much more creative and provides much more alternatives than you believe. The golden rule in real estate investment is OPM (Other People’s Income).</p>
<p>If you\’re conservative with your investments you may possibly be satisfied with this type of a return. Today you may obtain equal or greater returns with other conservative investments minus the hassle of becoming a landlord. But you do not mind becoming a landlord, for the reason that you have an understanding of and utilize the leveraging strategy with financing your real estate investment.</p>
<p>With the example above you will make roughly $15,000 a year in profits from your investment. Now let’s take a closer look at what leveraging can do for you. These days a typical real estate investor can buy financing as high as 95% – 97% of the obtain cost. Occasionally 100% financing is accessible as well. But this would be absolutely unfair in this example to compare this with all Money buying.</p>
<p>15% return sounds like a lot, but wait till you see this. Let’s assume that the rental Money will cover all your expenses which includes the mortgage payments. Taking the identical example from prior to your Web return would be the 7% appreciation profits of your property. This would translate into a $7,000 a year profit. With a 95% financing in location you would invest in $7,000 return on $5,000 (your 5% down payment) invested. This is a whopping 140% return on investment.</p>

Industry vet Garry Tucker has founded Eightbyte, a London-based financial services firm specifically focused on the needs of independent game developers.

<p>Survives and evolves by bring new creative ideas to market, and independents are best positioned to generate that innovation &#8212; if they survive and thrive,&#8221; Tucker says. &#8220;Eightbyte will work with companies who want to survive, and who want to be profitable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Among the specific services offered are cash flow planning and management, business planning and performance indicators, and purchase and sale due diligence.</p>

Financial independence is one of the most important goals for most people.</p>
<p>Yet people sometimes miss the opportunity to become financially independent because they avoid making decisions and taking action to influence their financial well being.</p>
<p>Sometimes they may not know what action to take. At other times, they simply procrastinate.</p>
<p>Understanding and evaluating where you stand today in terms of your finances is the first step in taking action and developing any sound investment plan. </p>
<p>You have to determine your net worth (your assets minus your liabilities) and what percentage of your resources you can apply to meeting your financial goals.</p>
<p>Net worth is the main measurement of your wealth. The best ways to increase your net worth are to increase your assets and to reduce your debts.</p>
<p>The other number to look at in evaluating your financial situation is your net income (your gross income minus your expenses).</p>
<p>Try tracking all of your expenses and gross income for several months. The results will help you to determine where your current income comes from and where it goes. </p>
<p>This information can help you better budget your spending and decide how much money you can set aside for meeting future needs and goals. </p>

Gaming is no longer just for teenagers &#8212; it&#8217;s entertainment for everyone. The gaming industry is not an exclusive club for large game developers, publishers and console manufacturers. Not any more. You too are invited.</p>
<p>The Internet has reinvented gaming, and now gaming is reinventing the Internet. Over the past 10 years, the Internet and gaming industries have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship, feeding each other new ideas and business models.</p>
<p>For instance, MUD (multiuser dungeon) games are not only the precursors of MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) such as &#8220;World of Warcraft&#8221; and virtual-world or alter-ego games such as &#8220;Second Life,&#8221; but they also embody many elements of a social network. </p>
<p>Nowadays it&#8217;s getting difficult to distinguish a game from a social network and vice versa, and virtual-world games such as Second Life are blurring the lines even further. Since these games are about virtual &#8220;realities,&#8221; anything that happens in the real world can happen in the game.</p>

We have now seen several straight years of rapid real estate appreciation on Long Island. With the current real estate boom, most home prices have doubled in the past six years. Buoyed by low interest rates and a hot real estate market, the mortgage industry has become incredibly competitive and has relaxed many previous requirements that have acted as impediments to former bankruptcy debtors seeking to obtain a new mortgage or refinance an existing one. You can help your prior bankruptcy client purchase their first home, or take advantage of increased equity in their existing home by helping them with refinancing.</p>
<p>Just a few years ago, debtors seeking to obtain mortgages under such circumstances found it difficult, if not impossible. Today, however, mortgage lenders actively solicit the profitable sub-prime market of recent home-owner debtors. A “sub-prime” mortgage is one where the borrower has a blemished credit history. Lenders, in their drive to maximize profits, have actually become quite lenient with the sub-prime market and have relaxed some previous requirements. Some lenders even specialize in providing financing to recent debtors. </p>

We heard about last month? Yeah, well it&#8217;s coming to California&#8217;s shores next year. An all new car company, doing business under the name of Coda Automotive, has just been formed in order to bring said vehicle into production. The all-electric, four-door Coda won&#8217;t break down any walls in the design department, but the $45,000 (mid-$30,000s after a $7,500 Federal tax credit and additional state incentives) whip sure sounds promising as an eco-friendly daily driver. Reportedly, it&#8217;ll cruise for around 90 to 120 miles without needing a recharge, and the batteries within can be charged enough for a 40-mile commute in two hours. It&#8217;ll also ship with a navigation system, Bluetooth, iPod support and power everything as standard, but sadly, there&#8217;s no telling when it&#8217;ll be sold outside of the The Golden State. </p>
