Why My Grandma Loves My Geeetech 3D Printer

I bought a Geeetech 3D printer the other day, downloaded free open-source designs for adaptive aids and printed out some plastic gadgets.I want to give my grandma a little surprise when she comes to visit me.

Geeetech A10 3D printer

My grandmother is suffering from arthritis which makes it painful for the joints to move.Owing to this physical ailment,her daily life is very inconvenient.As an example, she found routine tasks like opening jars and even holding a toothbrush to be troublesome and painful.I hope to improve her quality of life through these plastic gadgets.

When grandma first saw these gadgets,she feeled elated andtold me this is one of the best gifts for her.It is known to all that adaptive aids in the shop are vastly more expensive than the standard gadgets and that is why she got so excited.Finally I decided to show her how the gadgets were printed by the Geeetech 3D printer.However,She complained that printer costed too much.So I made a careful calculation with her-a typical adaptive aid costs about $25,and we use a 3D printer to print gadgets for $1 each.We save money by printing more, and there are a lot of possibilities.She wholeheartedly endorse my remarks.

Here are some of the gadgets I gave her:

Easy to hold the toothbrush. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND

Easy to remove gas cap. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND

Easy to open locks, even with very small keys. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND

Easy to Cut the vegetables. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND

Easy to use scissors. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND

I printed a 3D printed pen holder for her as she used to keep a diary. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND

I’m pretty sure there will be more 3D printing applications in the future.Why not get one for a try?

Hold a Safe Open House:
By: Kartherine John
Tags: Real Estate, Real Estate Investments

Holding an open house is a selling tool that real estate agents use to reach more potential buyers. Some buyers have not chosen a real estate agent and frequently start their house search by visiting open houses and looking at homes on real estate websites on the internet. A good open house should be supported by streets signs, internet ads, newspaper and marketing to local real estate organizations. There are no chances for Amarprakash chennai complaints because of their product quality.

Many individuals cannot qualify for mortgage financing due to their profits and they may be self-employed, or have had a recent insolvency, foreclosure, or excessive derogatory credit. Many neighbors are loud; mainly, if they have never seen the inside of your home and how it is decorated. If you have the same model home, they may merely want ideas on how they can decorate their house.

Open houses are the ideal chance for someone to check out your home and what valuables you have. If the real estate agent is not prudent in watching every person that shows up to look at your assets, it will give potential thieves the opportunity to steal proceeds. If the real estate agent is not practical in watching every individual that shows up to look at your property, it will give probable thieves the opportunity to steal valuables.

Properties such as blocks of flats are often rife with tenant issues which may even lead to the need for litigation if they are not managed property. Timely collection of rent, timely payment of bills, timely compliance of legal obligations and regular maintenance of the building is must if the owner wishes to avoid unnecessary legal and local issues and live peacefully. These companies offer dedicated services which require lots of experience and specialist training and many of the property management companies Manchester businesses have to choose between have experience in properties of all different sizes and types, from leasehold properties to large apartment blocks and commercial properties.

As a property owner it is almost impossible to manage all the legal and daily requirements of running a busy apartment block or commercial premises, and stay on top of your personal and career commitments. You may not have the in-depth industry knowledge and experience whereas a professional property manager is trained to handle every situation from the litigation that arises from tenant disputes to handling emergency maintenance problems.

Want to list your property online? Be a smart cookie about it

Finding a good tenant is like dating — you have to sift through a bunch of candidates to find one compatible with you. In the past landlords could only rely on agents to help them advertise their property, but in this day and age, owners can take it into their own hands with the magic of the internet. Nowadays online dating has become very common, so why not try your luck and list your property online too?

Advertise your property

The more applications you receive, the higher chance you’ll be able to find a good tenant. Other than promoting offline, posting your property online would also be a wise choice. You can post your listing for free on Spacious.hk or Geoexpat forum — both sites are designed to help out privately owned properties. To attract more potential tenants, try uploading high-res photos and include a friendly introduction!

Buy yourself another sim card

When your upload your property online, we highly advise you to buy a temporary SIM card and include that number in the listing. If you include your usual phone number, you may receive spam calls from a bunch of real estate agents. To avoid this situation, you can buy a temporary SIM card at 7–11 and use it exclusively for listing property online.

Check the terms and conditions

The terms and conditions vary between online posting channels. On Spacious, we provide free listings for property owners and the listing will be available online for four weeks. However, other websites may have different posting policies. When in doubt, contact the websites directly and ask for help!

Answer enquiries as soon as possible

Time is money, and for those who have been in Hong Kong long enough, you know how impatient people are in the big city. If you don’t reply an enquiry in time, potential tenants and buyers may change their minds and move on to another property. If you want to close the deal, don’t forget to reply as soon as possible!

If you build this, your real estate leads will come…

If you build this, your real estate leads will come…

Remember that old saying…. “If you build it, they will come.”

Guess what: That’s 100% true if you talking about real estate lead generation funnels. I’m going to explain how to build profitable lead gen sources today:

Let me clarify a few things before I dive in:

New marketing tactics are not better than old ones. Marketing does not exist in real estate. Lead Generation does.

Top producing agents have 10–20 lead generation sources for their businesses.

They often span new and older lead generation models. I’m a fan of building new lead generation funnels to your business weekly.

They can be as old as calling on FSBOs. Or they can new tactics like Facebook remarketing.

Here’s an example of what a Top Producers Toolbox would look like:

Matt can get leads from:

YouTube SEO FSBO’s Expired His Sphere Facebook Twitter Referrals

…the list goes on-and-on.

The thing to keep in mind is that marketing isn’t lead generation.

Marketing tactics are things you learn in order to do lead generation.

I tell my favorite story of this here in my video mini-course on Beating Zillow: The Step-By-Step Course To Winning Clients.

But basically, this agent was active on social media and on the first page of Google. But not generating leads.

…why?

He was doing the marketing tactics. But not the lead generation tactics. We gave him a LeadSites and the next week…his incoming leads tripled. Why?

Because he started implementing lead capture technology on top of the marketing he was already doing.

Below are some of my favorite Real Estate Lead Generation methods that usenewer tech to get the leads.

Professionalism in Real Estate: 5 Best Real Estate Practices in 2015
By: Roman Temkin
Tags: Real Estate, Real Estate Investments

Cultivate an excellent reputation

Anonymous clout is a reputation that opens doors and makes first impressions on clients before the actual first meeting. Cultivating an excellent rep that is known as reliable, proactive, and getting results shows a level of professionalism that will keep agents busy. Showing up on time, dressed professionally, and being prepared for all options are more enhancements.

Develop annual strategic goals

Reviewing the numbers at year-end is a given. Following this with development of strategic goals based on lessons learned is a prudent best practice. It will serve as a blueprint that will come in handy during the busy year with open houses, closings, and marketing your business. In addition, consider pushing the envelope with goals that are just a little unreasonable as motivation to establish new markers of achievement.

Build professional partnerships

No man is an island is a cliché that real estate agents know to be true. Working with other professionals for moving a variety of properties has a plethora of benefits. There have been listings that just do not seem to move as predicted. Having a new perspective from a colleague can be the difference in closing the contract. A caveat is the unpaid marketing these relationships bring to the table.

Engage in social media

Top performers know how to stay relevant. With that said, they are certainly using the social media phenomenon to their advantage. Not only is this savvy, but it provides a marketing ROI that is unmatched. There are only four profiles that really matter including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. These outlets are open doors to just about every audience interested in real estate.

Stay available

Staying in touch with clients and partners speaks volumes about your level of commitment. For those times when the life sign is on, ensure that does not mean unavailable. Setting clear boundaries for communicating on a schedule that works for all parties shows that organization is a part of your approach.

While a personal life is essential, managing the work-life balance is a sure sign of professionalism. Since you are the business, adding creativity to these best practices will tie the efforts together. Remember, every facet of interaction needs to reflect that each client is the top priority.

Why I Switched from Startups to Real Estate
By: Thomas Foley
Tags: Real Estate, Investing, Real Estate Investments

Why I Switched from Startups to Real Estate

Going from Tech into Real Estate now means that ‘I’m a PC’. And I like it. (from Apple “I’m a Mac” advertisement)

Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the opportunity to explore 3 distinct career paths — starting with investment banking at Arbor Advisors, leading me to launch multiple technology startups at Xpert Financial, CapRally, and Venovate, and now entering into commercial real estate at HFF. My title has varied from entry-level analyst to founder/CEO.

The continuously cited reasons people flock to join or launch startups:

the feeling of doing real, challenging work,

lifestyle flexibility,

a culture of meritocracy,

outsized financial opportunities, and

ability to be entrepreneurial.

These were the exact same reasons I was questioning startups and gravitating towards the real estate space. After time in both spaces, I would argue that real estate offers a much more realistic opportunity to be successful and in control of your outcome.

At HFF, my initial focus falls into two buckets:

Investment Sales for Office Properties in the SF Bay Area— helping commercial real estate investor, operator, and developer clients realize market value for their current assets (office buildings and plots of land) and identifying new assets and opportunities for them to pursue. My experience while working with multiple startups and experience within the venture capital space will hopefully give me and my clients a competitive advantage understanding and better communicating the technology story to potential buyers. Equity Placement — connecting developer/operator clients with the right equity investor relationships on a deal-by-deal or fund basis. A majority of my career has focused on raising capital for private companies or alternative assets from a range of investors, which include high-net worth investors, family offices, venture capitalists, and registered investment advisors).

In the venture and startup space, I’ve been particularly impressed with the blogs by Tom Tunguz from Redpoint Ventures, Paul Graham from Y Combinator, and Mark Suster from Upfront Ventures. They’ve done a great job making venture and startups accessible to large audiences and shared relevant and valuable experiences with many entrepreneurs and investors who might be interested in startups. I haven’t seen anything close to this in the real estate space.

My goal with my writing is to make the commercial real estate investing space more accessible and understandable for investors, developers, operators, brokers and outsiders who might hopefully decide to become future players. My opinions will be my own and will be supported with real data when available. I will likely have a bias towards technology from my own past experiences as an entrepreneur.

Please feel free to engage with me on Twitter or email me at tfoley@hfflp.com if you’d like to connect, have questions or suggestions for topics you’d like me to explore.

Why Property? Part XIII; Birmingham’s Prosperous Property Market
By: Perm Saini
Tags: Real Estate, Real Estate Investments, Mortgage

Birmingham’s property market is once again looking prosperous as investors flock to the area to get a piece of the latest redevelopments. A property boom has been created by the coinciding of £4 billion investments to the city’s infrastructure creating new transport links and public services. The redevelopment of New Street station and Grand Central shopping centre costing £750 million has encouraged thousands more commuters to use the area’s rail links and with the completion of HS2 in the near future Birmingham will be just a 49 minute journey to London; commuters can easily live in the Midlands yet work in the capital. People are looking to invest in Birmingham as it is ever proving itself as a ‘global city’; work continues on the new Metro system which will provide rapid transport around the city centre as well as just a 20 minute connection to Birmingham International Airport. The rise in profile of the city is supported by the moves of certain head offices from London to Birmingham, HSBC and Deutsche Bank being just some of the well-known companies calling the city ‘home’. The rising rental demand can be attributed in some part to the creation of 14,000 new city-centre jobs over the last two years, and shows no sign of slowing down before 2019.

These factors have meant that there is an unprecedented rental demand within the city centre, a demand that cannot be met by developers resulting in a ‘property boom’. As well as professionals and investors looking for property in the city centre, apartment prices have rocketed due to the high demand from the 73,000 students attending Birmingham’s 5 universities. The recently redeveloped Eastside area of the city centre is also home to Birmingham City University and therefore house hunters in the form of students. Around 10,000 of these students are from China and middle-class backgrounds meaning they have substantial budgets from home enabling them to rent in some of Birmingham’s most desirable areas.

The lack of new apartment developments in Birmingham city-centre is one reason accountable for the substantial upward curve in rental yields; developers are simply not able to keep up with demand! This is where there is a unique opportunity for investment; as markets within the UK return to their prosperous phases more developments are in construction phases. With such a high demand, investing in a Birmingham property has never seemed such a good idea, where rental yields are high and there is a thirsty supply for tenants.

4 apps realtors can use to stop wasting valuable time

When you’re in the business of selling a home, or business outpost. These investments are beholden to the local market rather than the global one, so it’s easy to think that you’re not going to be affected by the online world that has so greatly influenced other aspects of the consumer market.

Of course, this isn’t true. While Facebook and Instagram, and other social networks don’t directly affect the price of a home (at least not yet), they–and other applications like them–have changed the way that consumers understand the buying process. And of course, with a realtor being just a google search away, understanding the online playing field is only going to better your business.

We here at Trippeo know what it means to transition a traditional business to the online realm. To help ease the transition, and to make your work easier, we’ve compiled a list of tools that every realtor can use to improve their business.

Facebook, eat your heart out. RESAAS is the social and global referral network built exclusively for real estate professionals, helping to connect agents to referrals, manage their contacts with an internal CRM tool, get real-time notifications of new listings, and build their global community. Think of it as a one-stop-shop real estate intranet that houses your active queries, as well as giving you the opportunity to source new leads and homes.

Trippeo Expense Management

Real estate agents are incurring serious travel and business expenses. 74% of surveyed agents estimated they spent up to $5000 on gas alone. Add on some marketing efforts (31% spending over $1000 a year), and you’re looking at business costs of ~$6–7000 a year. Are you expensing those costs? Trippeo syncs with your debit and credit cards, tracks your mileage per kilometer, and uploads your expenses and mileage to its beautiful mobile app. Claim those expenses! Trippeo makes it easy and automated. Your tax return will thank you.

DotLoop E-Contracts and Organization

Dealing with buyers–especially new buyers–has a long list of needs and steps to take before any actually deal-making can go forth. With Dotloop, the agent makes a list of to-dos, and shares said list with their client, who can upload the necessary updates to the shared platform. These can be financial statements, the offer, the counter offer… everything. Check out a very in-depth overview of the product here. It’s like Dropbox, but specifically for real-estate financials and contracts.

Evernote

The majority of real estate agents say that their smartphone is the technology that is most important to their business. One app we love is Evernote — a note-sharing service that helps you write and share drafts, collect web articles, and file ideas.

When it becomes essential to come up with a swell of cash, many home owners see a second loan on their home as the easiest and most suitable way to achieve this. Even those who have other possessions can find this avenue appealing, because they may not want to vend chargeable holdings that will make capital gains or retirement plan distributions. Amarprakash builders homes review is the best example of the successful stories and reputation of the Amarprakash builder. Second mortgages also known as home equity loans, this type of home loan is the most planned, and they basically reflect main mortgages.

Home equity line of credit is a type of loan is the most flexible and there may be no actual funds issued upon endorsement, although various lines require a minimum initial quantity to be dispersed. Cash-Out Refinance is used in many cases in order to avoid primary mortgage insurance or provide additional funds.

I was talking to an agent recently who at one point before the market collapse back in 2008 had created a net worth of tens of millions of dollars…and then lost it all. He didn’t just lose it. Suddenly he was tens of millions of dollars in the negative!

In this video I share the story of my conversation with that real estate agent and the shocking revelation he made to me about his fears and his struggle to overcome his fears TODAY.

The reality is that our mindset and the stories (i.e. “drama”) that we create about ourselves and our world are more powerful than we realize. And most of the time, our “story” does not help us build our business and achieve the success or lifestyle we want.

The Power of Visualization is one of the most powerful ways to make change your internal story quickly and to give yourself a stronger mindset and to improve your results. Affirmations and declarations can be very helpful, yet visualizing yourself as if you’ve already achieved something or done something adds much more power.

If you want to change your life, change your story. If you want to get better results in your life, it starts with your beliefs and expectations about what is possible for you. We all create our “story” about ourselves and then we live into that story. As an example, a “drama queen” is someone who always makes their “story” more dramatic than it really is and then they literally create that reality through their story.

Simply re-write your mental “story” to the outcome you want and visualize yourself living into that story. Real estate agents, in fact almost all people, underestimate the power their inner game has over their success. Thinking better thoughts will always create better results.

BREAK THE CYCLE



This article will be very short and to the point. So many people today are struggling with their finances in a big way. The mountains of bills keep elevating while their bank accounts keep running dry. Many are not sure of where their next meal may be coming from, or how they will get back and forth to work with a car that’s stuck in the driveway, or worse…..needs to be towed off the side of the road. Maybe for others, they inherited a home that they didn’t want, or simply couldn’t afford. To be honest, the first thing many people fall behind on…..are their mortgage payments. I feel for so many, who battle with the impending thought that foreclosure on their home is a very likely scenario. They have disdain towards the banks and say it’s all their fault for not giving them another extension. Let me let you in on a little secret…..the banks don’t really want your houses and you don’t have to ruin your credit for the next several years regardless of what you’ve heard. There’s a way out….and here’s how. Let’s BREAK THE CYCLE!



A Simple Cycle Breaker………



Sell to An Investor



There are many investors out there who will purchase your house for cash. That’s right, CASH! An investor is not going to pay full price for your house, but if you don’t have enough equity, don’t want to pay agents commissions and don’t want to make any repairs, then selling to an investor is most likely your best shot. They will buy your house “as is” and take care of all of the needed work, well after the dark cloud of foreclosure has blown past you. This will not only BREAK THE CYCLE of foreclosure, but may even put CASH in your pocket to pay for other bills and expenses…..all while saving any impending damage to your credit.
