Homeless But Not Hopeless: Millionaire Chris Gardner’s Early Years
Chris Gardner wears a $10,000 watch on each wrist. On the right hand is a Cartier set to Chicago time, and on the left is a Roger Dubuis set to South African time. “I was late once and it cost me $50,000,” explains Gardner. “I figure it was cheaper to wear two watches.” For a man who not too long ago had only two suits to his name and could not even afford to pay rent, Gardner has come a long way. From living on the streets and bathing in public restrooms to owning a successful multi-million dollar stock brokerage firm, Gardner is living out the American dream.

Home Staging Aids Homeowners Facing Foreclosure
As with any problem, the key to avoiding foreclosure is to be proactive. Many people facing the prospect of foreclosure will decide that the best solution is to sell their house.

Having a guilt free spa bath
How to live in a home that is more energy efficient, more sustainable and have a guilt free spa or bubble bath every week! Imagine living in a home that stays between 16-24°C all year round and paying just $2 per day for all your heating and cooling costs. It Is Easier Than You Think... But only after you abandon what most people ‘know’ about energy efficient and sustainable homes and follow the simple steps that work 100% of the time, in every style of home, and in every climate. Ordinary people in apparently ordinary homes across Australia have already cut 41% and more off their electricity bills, 56% off their homes CO2 emissions, and saved hundreds of litres of water every day.

How Mobile Home Parks Make More Money Than Single-Family Home Investing
Just about anybody who watches late night TV, or receives email, or reads, knows that there are hundreds of people promoting concepts to make money in single family homes. "Buy foreclosures", "profit from short sales", "wholesale houses", there are at least 1,000 different concepts. Unfortunately, the only people who actually make money in many of these ideas are the promoters.

How to Market Your Mobile Home Park
When I am looking to market my mobile home park whether it be to potential residents to bring their homes in or to sell homes in the park, I believe that the first contact with the potential customer is key. This first contact may be via a telephone call to your office, a drive-by by the potential resident, or in many cases could be a referral from a current resident or some other local business (chamber of commerce, dealer, broker, etc).

Why Lonnie Scruggs' Mobile Home Park Deals Don't Work for Me
There are people out there who think they can make big money buying and selling used mobile homes. I am not one of them. And after owning about 200 homes, I think I'm pretty qualified to point out the problems with the business plan. The first major flaw in the strategy of making money buying and selling mobile homes is that you have to sell the home for more than what you have invested in it. And what you have invested in it is more than just what you paid for it.
