Do You Have The Courage and Fearlessness to Elevate Your Business in 2018?
Establishing purpose, fearlessness, and determination.
When you look at businesses across the real estate industry, you see the ones that succeed all share a common trait: they have purpose. The idea of establishing purpose is absolutely critical to any entrepreneur’s journey if they plan to grow their business. Without knowing what you want and why you want it, you can’t formulate the goals you need to achieve in order to succeed.
Courage is refined, renewed and revealed in ordinary everyday living. Courage is never the preserve of the heroes or the powerful. The choice to choose courage for daily living is life-altering. How about choosing the word “courage” as

Not every business listed for sale will ultimately sell. In fact, some trade groups in our industry have stated that less than 10% of businesses that are listed "for sale by owner" will actually sell! They go further and say that businesses that are listed by Business Brokers actually have a 40-50% probability of selling. That's a 4 to 5 times improved rate of success, when a business uses a business broker! As a business broker, this is great, but I know why this is the case. I, myself, as well as other Business Brokers (at least the good ones), screen the businesses we want to work with. We have limited time and resources, so we want to take on clients whose businesses we KNOW have a greater chance of selling.
Seasoned investors seeking their road to wealth will readily acknowledge that the easiest and surest path to long term wealth is through holding a portfolio of houses. And the best way to keep your houses is using the lease options. To appreciate how important lease options are to your financial prosperity, it is important to first having an understanding of what a lease option is.
Lease options as an exit strategy may or may not result in the actual sale of your property. You are renting the house out to someone and giving them an option to later buy it. They have a rental agreement with you and then they pay you additional money in exchange for the right to purchase the property at some point during their lease. It is customary to charge 3-5% of the

This mornings News Tribune published a very informative article about the supply of available homes in King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties. This is how bad it is if you're looking for a house. The shortages are now reaching critical levels states the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. I'll bullet point some of the article and for the full story you can read it online at The News Tribune.

You? Buy a home? If that prospect sounds as unlikely as your becoming the next U.S. president—well, this campaign season has shown us that anything can happen.

Still, if you just assume there’s no way you could buy a home, without doing any research, you could be missing out.
Here are some oft-cited reasons people don’t buy a home, and the reality checks showing why they shouldn’t give up hope.
Reason No. 1: ‘I don’t have enough money for a down payment’
This is probably the most common justification for not making the leap into homeownership.
The South Sound real estate market showed no signs of a seasonal slowdown in December as sales once again jumped by a double-digit margin in Pierce and Thurston counties. And the lack of inventory continues to drive the market, according to Northwest Multiple Listing Service data released Wednesday.
Pierce County months of inventory — the amount of time it would take to exhaust the number of single-family residences for sale — fell below two months to end the year at 1.78 months. In Thurston County, it was 2.4 months. A healthy supply of single-family residences that doesn’t favor either the buyer or seller is thought to be around six months.
But with little to choose from, combined with buyer demand (mortgage interest rates are still low and the
