Real Estate - 2014 and Beyond – A Short Series of Predictions and Truths

It is the time for us to move forward without hesitation OR current events will freeze your ambition and dampen your will to succeed in the real estate industry.

Why does it seem so different in finding the answers to the same questions that are asked every year since the end of World War II? Same questions and so few answers!

What to build?

How to build?

When to build?

Where to build?

We all know that we need to build!

2014 will be a new horizon for the real estate development industry.

Land –           Land is not being made any more

                        All the “good” land is gone

                        Land prices for “buildable area” will continue to escalate

                        Less buildable area will be available due to government restrictions

2014 will be the defining time on how, when, what and where we will develop land.

2014 will be the year all levels of government will solidify their efforts to further control housing markets.  Remember ………………………….LAND!

Have Strong Beliefs

KNOW where you are going and where you are headed.  
It doesn’t matter where you have been or what you have done – 
look forward and not back.

We will need to strengthen our relationship with God, family members, friends and colleagues in 2014. Start today to ensure you have a group of people that you can rely on as we move forward into uncharted waters.

Stay true to your own values. We can no longer sit on the sidelines and quietly watch others shape our future. Stand up for what you believe in and bring your sphere of influence along with you.

“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”

REFLECTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR 

(From the writings of Harold Warbeirn)

Because the world is poor and starving,

Go with bread

Because the world is filled with fear,

Go with courage

Because the world is in despair,

Go with hope

Because the world is living lies,

Go with truth

Because the world is sick with sorrow,

Go with joy

Because the world is weary of wars,

Go with peace

Because the world is seldom fair,

Go with justice

Because the world is under judgment,

Go with mercy

Because the world will die without it,

Go with love.

Now, Let’s Put Everything into Perspective for 2014: The Gift of 86,400 seconds

Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest:  

Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use.
However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.

The first set of rules would be:
Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
You may not simply transfer money into some other account. You may only spend it.

Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.  

The second set of rules:
The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, It’s over, the game is over!  It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?  

You would buy anything and everything you wanted right?  

Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right?  

Even for people you don't know, because you couldn’t possibly spend it all on yourself, right?  

You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

ACTUALLY This GAME is REALITY!

Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.

The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!

Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost. Yesterday is forever gone.

Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?

Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars.
 
Think about that, and always think of this:

Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.

So take care of yourself, be Happy, Love Deeply and enjoy life!
