Motion Activated Spotlights Can Help Improve Home Security h

March 14, 2018   Home Mortgage

It is the fact that 60 percent of all Americans have their own home. Having your own house means that you are responsible not just to you and your mortgage holder but to your neighbors as well as your community. You may follow very strict laws about what you can and cannot do to your home which your neighborhoods set up.

One of the very first things you should consider is starting or joining a neighborhood watch program. If your neighborhood doesn’t have one they are easy enough to start up. And they are free. Just check with your local sheriffs’ department. They can help you get one going.

Of course there are many other things you can do to beef up their home security. Start with removing trees and shrubs that could be possible hiding places near lower-level windows and doors. Consider putting in some signage warning of a vicious guard dog or a security company. Some people spend a great deal of money on security systems that are monitored and they are fine if you have the money. Most new homeowners don’t.

Other simple things you can do are to install some door alarms window alarms. Surprisingly, 60% of all burglaries occur through unlocked doors and windows.

On a more sophisticated side, but really not that expensive, are motion activated spotlights with a home security camera. These have a spy camera and a DVR inside them-a hidden dvr. When the motion detector is tripped the bright 80 LED spotlight goes on and a DVR starts recording. Images go on to an 8 GB SD card that holds approximately 5 hours of video. It has the capability of the 32 GB SD card as an option.

The view range is 120degrees and 80 feet, which is very good for night time viewing. Since the recording is done on motion activated only it is possible, depending on the level of activity, to get over a weeks worth of recording on one SD card.

So you provide nighttime security for your home and as a bonus if anybody should be so crazy as to try and break into your house you will have their image on the camera. Beef up your security and surveillance with one of these new tools.

When are you getting one?

Why All Investors need an Assistant

March 8, 2018   Fast Loan

Would you like more time, better performance, more success, less responsibility? These are just a few of the reasons to hire an assistant. I want to quickly show you how to easily identify items you can delegate to an assistant. I will let you be the judge on how helpful it will be to hire an assistant.

Let’s do a quick exercise. Compose the following 2 lists:

List all of the tasks you do for your real estate biz and how much time that takes
List all tasks that would help improve your biz and how much time they will take

Example Tasks: Total 40 hours
Write 5 blog entries – 3 hours
Maintain participation in forums, social media – 5 hours
Send out newsletter – 4 hours
Answer my emails and phone calls – 10 hours
Market to find 25 prospects and evaluate – 10 hours
Write 5 offers – 5 hours
Face to face meetings – 3 hours

Tasks to improve my biz:
Market to find and evaluate 25 more deals per week – 10 hours
Write 5 more offers per week – 5 hours
Network, social media, buyers lists, private money generation, build relationships – 10 hours

Now I would like you to look at these lists and ask yourself, “Could someone else help me with these tasks?” “Do I HAVE to do this?” I look at the example lists above and realize that all of them can be delegated to some degree. Some I need to make the final say, but that would only require about 20% of the allotted time to each task.

The key is to define a system and delegate every process and task in that system that you do not absolutely positively HAVE to be you. Of course I want to make the final decision on whether to write an offer. But I can delegate as much of the marketing and evaluation as possible so I can quickly be presented with the all the information and make a quick decision. An assistant can easily maintain social media, email and phone calls. Anything an assistant cannot handle is passed on to me/you.

After a few months, you can really improve these systems and delegate many tasks to an assistant. It is amazing how much time can be saved, business can grow, performance improves, etc. I highly recommend getting an assistant, even Virtual Assistants are a great resource in your success.
