Never Get Caught Off Guard In A Recession Again!

How would you like to start earning the income you deserve so you can do what you want, when you want?

How would you like a clear, easy-to-use system to build your own nest egg? Is there a way to protect your family and safeguard your future?

You can. It starts with a sincere, overwhelming desire to make the kind of money most people only dream about. If that's you, keep reading.

There are a lot of "how-to" products on the market, but few of them explain what to do, why to do it, when you'll receive the benefit, who to talk to and what to say. When you understand that, the how becomes very simple!

Five years from now many investors will look back and say, "I'm sure glad I started investing in apartments in 2009 and 2010!" And others will say, "I sure wish I would've started investing in apartments 5 years ago." Which one will you be?

Most people don't understand apartment investing. If they did, they'd be watching the market like a hawk right now! There's a TON of money to be made, and the window of opportunity is short. You don't need money or stellar credit either. It's times like these where motivated sellers are especially creative!

This is probably one of the best times to invest in apartment buildings we've seen in over 20 years. If you've been sitting on the fence, unsure of where to start and how to begin, visit www.stevesteadele.net/mp.html to learn more about my coaching program. We have at home study programs available as well--but please, don't let this opportunity pass you by.

We also have an internet special available at www.apartmentbuildingriches.com.

Obituary - Common Sense

A friend of mine emailed this to me the other day and while I don't normally post stuff like this, it is.... well, I'll let you fill in the blank.


Obituary

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;

-I Know My Rights
-I Want It Now
-Someone Else Is To Blame
-I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
