I have had several in depth conversations with other real estate experts whom believe based on the Government deficit, current policies and our economic foundation of being a Country that “doesn’t make anything” anymore we are headed for a double dip recession in real estate. If and when this happens, people flock to safety.
Traditionally, there have been two safety routes for long term investors to hedge inflation and avoid stock market volatility. Buying gold and land. Generally speaking, I continue to think that land will be a better investment than stocks, bonds and commodities in the future. Land values will rise because of population growth if nothing else. As a finite resource, more people should mean continued demand and appreciating prices, even if the middle-class shrinks some as the consequence of structural changes in the economy.
I am always acquiring new properties. If you are interested in learning more about these properties let me know as I only have a handful of lots and have not started marketing these yet online.
Useful websites I have found:
Check out luggage luggagelimits.com. If you plan on traveling any time soon you will find this site useful. Different airlines have different luggage policies. Frequent travelers know the inconvenience it can cause when one has got extra luggage and the airline either refuses to accommodate it or charges exorbitant fees for carrying it. LuggageLimits is a useful website that can help you avoid such situations. Select the airline, departure and arrival airports, and get the corresponding luggage weight limit. No registration required which I love!
Check out http://www.crossfit.com. If your New Year’s Resolution this year was to get fit then this is the site for you. Crossfit is an online training program which includes exercises and workouts that help in improving the overall physical fitness of a person. Their main website, which goes by the same name, contains detailed information about the program and the exercises included in it. There are demo videos, articles, Crossfit games and even a section for kids. There’s also a Workout of the Day (WOD) posted on the website everyday. The Crossfit training program has been implemented across various institutions around the world which includes police academies and military organizations. The program isn’t intended for beginners. Therefore, if you are a newbie, you should go slow on it.

Check out http://www.couponcraze.com/ CouponCraze, as the name suggests, is a site where you can find thousands of coupons and discounts for a wide variety of products and services.
