Property Management 101 – Rental Property Brand

admin

From a property management point of view, branding covers the personal branding of property managers. This includes signage (office and street signs), the office, the website, profiles, uniforms, brochures, window cards, and the properties they are renting.

If a home is not well presented it will reflect on the property manager and owner as well as the real estate business and will not attract the desired tenants. While some homeowners understand this and keep their homes well presented, others don’t see the relevance.

I always suggest that our owners, when possible, stop by or visit their property at least once a year. Things like faded paint, overgrown trees, leaning fences, etc. really put tenants off and your investment becomes ‘the rent’ on the street. It can also mean the difference between good tenants and not-so-desirable ones applying for your property.

Most repairs and upgrades are tax deductible and actually prevent higher maintenance costs. Your tenants will also appreciate the upgrades that ensure tenants stay longer, minimizing costs and giving you security. You may also consider that tax depreciation will guarantee higher tax returns on your investment.

It would also be worth considering some internal work between tenants. He may consider painting the entire property, changing the carpeting or window fixtures, re-tiles, or even stain the hardwood floors. All these items are really difficult to do with the tenants of the house. It’s hard to predict how long someone will live in your property, and no one wants to move a big tenant for renovations. Simply doing one of these things between tenants at each move can increase your rental income.

While a good property manager will tell you about this, sometimes it’s helpful to see for yourself so you can make an informed decision about routine maintenance and future preventative or upgrade maintenance. Ask them to help you with quotes, hire dealers, organize key collection and even pay bills on your behalf.

I believe there are three types of maintenance on your investment property:

1. Routine Repairs: These are common, wear and tear items. Routine repairs can be leaky faucets, broken air conditioners, or a garage door that won’t roll smoothly.

2. Emergency repairs: These are unexpected and usually require immediate repair. Emergency repairs include hot water systems splitting/bursting, a gas leak, pipes backing up or bursting, or property security.

3. Future repairs: This is your long-term list of things to do when you have the money or between tenants. Future repairs include things like carpet replacement and painting as noted above.

There is also another side to consider. Don’t spend so much that you have no income. While it’s lovely to make everyone happy, it’s still an investment, so you don’t need to do all the bells and whistles.

Did you know that you can attend a routine inspection of your property? It might be worth considering.

The fight between the game console and the Trusty PC

admin

Computer games will never die for me. They’ll have to remove my steaming mouse and keyboard from my cold hands and cut the cable to disconnect me from my steaming server. The reason for this outburst is someone pointing out the information that PC games are “smaller” than console games. What exactly is that supposed to mean? Computer games have a greater scope for modification that allows gamers to vary the way they play the game. Players can create their own maps much more easily than console games. Digital download seems to be a promising future for computer games, as long as the price works. What is not usually mentioned about the physical box and the disk is the security of the backup.

Enjoy computer games, sound, and movies with theater-quality sound and bass at home—within your own personal listening environment! As a result, the PC game market is increasingly devoted to more immersive games, such as complex first-person shooters like Crysis, while consoles are seen as more of a social event.

Not only is the hardware more powerful, but developers are more used to working on computer architecture than consoles, and there’s a lot more graphics RAM, system RAM, and storage space to play with. Compare Bioshock in 360 to Bioshock in a mid- to high-end PC, it’s obvious that the PC can achieve more meticulous textures and impressive effects. Computer games have evolved over the years to be just as sophisticated, fast and graphically rich as console games. In fact, if you want the ultimate in gaming machines, the polygon-generating king of the hill, you should look to a computer, not a console.

With today’s growing data storage capacity, the rise of downstream ISPs, and developments in multimedia computing technology, the demand for a single-service multimedia platform has developed significantly in recent years. When PC game sales fall, a major factor is probably the absence of rationally constrained, quality-focused game design on that platform.

Although the console market dominates the gaming world, the personal computer remains the king of first-person shooters and real-time strategy games with its incredible ability to display excessive high-resolution and amazing effects. visuals. Some of us swim against the current and see the demise not of computer games, but of game consoles. The main reason consoles are marketed so heavily is that piracy prevention is the main reason for their current form, and explains how the marriage of the GPU and CPU is the next big thing in the gaming industry. . The situation prompted Infinity Ward’s community manager to complain about the number of people playing Call of Duty 4 online compared to the number of PC versions of the game that have been sold.

Overtraining is Overtraining

admin

I get this so often that I thought it was important to reiterate it again. If you are at an impasse, if you feel tired, lethargic or your metabolism is slow… your body is trying to tell you something and that something is that it is very possible that you are in a state of overtraining, a deep overtrained state or approaching an overtrained state! It may require a layoff, a prolonged layoff, a change in volume and frequency, or all of the above. Overtraining is overtraining people! Try to get this as this is the deadliest mistake a bodybuilder or athlete who trains at high intensity can make.

High intensity training theory was proposed by Mike Mentzer, Olympic champion, bodybuilder and trainer. Mike was the thinking man’s bodybuilder… who spent much of his career and his life testing and researching the theory of high intensity training. He did it both in the gym, his phone clients, and in person. Mike’s contributions to bodybuilding and understanding of anaerobic training were excellent, but the most valuable thing he taught me was how to think!

I was recently on a High Intensity Training forum and a member had questions about training with a technique called Rest Pause. This technique is the one that allows a maximum contraction in each repetition, while resting for seven to ten seconds between each repetition. Repetitions are usually no more than four or five and only one set is used. The only thing about the post was that after doing a rest break workout, this athlete felt tired for many days and wanted to train more often for the experience of training…he liked it and had an emotional bond with it! He reasoned that if he waited longer between reps where he could do each rep without using assistance or dropping the weight and not training to failure, it would be easier on his system and he wouldn’t feel as tired. This was just a byproduct of a very important point that I will discuss below, which was my response to the HIT athlete.

Mike Mentzer said…

When Mike Mentzer said that overtraining isn’t just a bad thing and that sometimes it takes weeks to recover, you better believe it’s true…I’ve seen it in the gym and with my phone clients…although I don’t like to hear it and usually not until we’ve gone through an exhaustive phone training session. Your negative results so far can generally be related to overtraining, not a high intensity stimulus… but not resting long enough to allow the surge to occur after a high intensive training.

You have to check your logic here…emotionally detach…because if you think about it, you said RIGHT NOW…you’re the strongest and most muscular you’ve ever been and you’ve been training high. intense fashion. IF you continue to train within a specific rest spectrum, and I find this quite often… you are going to lose the battle. WHY? Because his strength can increase by 300% while his recovery ability can only increase by 50%! If you do the numbers you will see that the seesaw tilts to one side. The only way you can offset the effect of growing bigger and stronger is by taking more time off.

It takes time for the body to recover. I can’t begin to tell you how important it is. If the body doesn’t recover… it can’t move on to the next step of building muscle. I have trainees who train every 10-14 days and not until then…compensate let alone overcompensate for exhaustive effects of training. it’s genetics. There are those who can train every other day and recover… (although not forever….) and those, and I’ve had clients like that… who have had to take six consecutive months off before starting . back to training because it took them a long time to fill the ditch… that’s true guys! High Intensity, Heavy Duty (trademark of Mike Mentzer), UK Serious, call it what you want is extremely demanding and therefore extremely productive. If you have a deep understanding of the theory, there are no doubts.

This is the way to think about it…

Okay, you’re training intensely, with intense contraction to stimulate muscle growth, to activate the growth mechanism.

You’re training briefly, not using recovery too much and leaving as much as possible there… being mindful not to dig too deep a trench…

***Question… Are you really training short or do you need to cut back more? Remember, training is always negative, we are talking about VOLUME….

If you’re still tired after a week or two or three, your body hasn’t compensated for the exhausting effects of exercise, let alone overcompensated…more rest is required. Not everyone is using recovery enhancing drugs etc so it will take time but the wait is well worth it…we are talking about FREQUENCY

Read about Lethargic…

Lethargy or Lethargic- deficient in alertness or activity; “bullfrogs became lethargic with the first cold nights” [ant: energetic] … it’s a lack of energy… energy is something we are, everything is energy… when we spend it… we have to replace it. The body systematically recovers and replenishes energy as such.

Have you ever noticed how when you’re sick or too tired, you don’t even feel like eating? Animals are the smartest… when they are sick, they don’t spend energy on eating, their body saves all its energy to fight STRESS, and illness is a stress… Look… everything is related to stress. .. the body doesn’t know the difference…

So if your metabolism seems sluggish, you feel lethargic, etc., chances are you’ve allowed yourself to go into a state of overtraining and carry on, so just dig a deeper hole. A slow or lethargic metabolism are the first symptoms I use, along with slow progress, to analyze the onset of the overtraining condition. If you are active and healthy and not overtrained… you should feel energetic. If done correctly, you should never get into an overtraining condition.

If we realize that there is a valid theory of high intensity training, if we really understand anaerobic exercise, then the answer is not to change routines, not to go volume approach, not to decrease intensity, the answer can be found by problem or question. in one of the two elements of this training … which is in volume or frequency or both …. who says you have to train every few days? Who says your training has to be one, two, three or five sets? Who says those abbreviated workouts have to all be big compound movements? Continue with the theory and you will find the answers to the question.

This really has to do with being 100% for your next workout. Personally, I couldn’t imagine at this point, another rest-pause leg workout, which is my next workout. I am scheduled to return to training tomorrow and I have news for you, I will re-evaluate where I am next Monday… I have already taken eight days off since my last training, tomorrow it will be nine. I’ll add five days and if I’m 100%, I’ll be there, 14 days later… if not, no problem. I look for the result, not the experience, so I am less in the gym; better since it gives me more time to live, play and enjoy the result, a strong, muscular and energetic body…

Always use logic to solve these similar problems and you will find the answers accurately.

Love Message In A Bottle: 5 Tips To Give Your Lady A Great Valentine’s Day Perfume Gift

admin

Perfumes are a great Valentine’s gift for women, both very useful and long-lasting, and also very romantic. Most women not only love to wear perfume as it can help boost their confidence and enhance their feminine charm, but also directly convey the message of love.

Many perfume ingredients are aphrodisiacs, supposedly possessing magical powers to enchant and increase the loving feelings of that special person. So giving a perfume to your lady can be translated as a direct message of love in a bottle: Spell me even more, I’m all yours.You can also gift the perfume to your sympathy, but make sure it’s not one-way “traffic.”

Take some time and go the extra mile this year by following 5 simple tips to prepare your lady a beautiful and memorable Valentine’s Day perfume gift.

1. Do not rush with the choice of perfume

Do not rush when buying a perfume as a gift for any type of occasion. Make it a beautiful gift, not a skunk! Start by researching the perfume preferences of the gift recipient. Do you wear any perfume? Ask him (in)directly about his favorite (signature) fragrance. Buying your signature fragrance or the fragrance from the same olfactory family is the safest perfume choice.

If you don’t know her perfume preferences, consult her friends or family if possible, or go to the nearest perfume shop and let the clerk help you select the right perfume for her age, personality and style.

Another great help in choosing among the many women’s perfumes available is to consult the wealth of information online. Visit perfume review websites, where you can get information on perfume notes, suitability by age groups, occasions and seasons, information on related perfume products (for example, scented body lotions or shower gels), prices and, most importantly, customer reviews. .

2. Spice up your gift with words from the heart

Personally, when I receive a gift of any kind, what moves me most are the words written or spoken from the heart by the giver. Buy or make your own Valentine card and write a beautiful love quote or poem on it. Look up books, remember your favorite romantic movie quotes, or check out dating websites. Even better, say or write how you feel about her in your own words, maybe even your own poem. How? Just think about her, what you value about her, how she makes you feel, and what she means to you.

3. Wrap your gift

Buying a perfume (or any kind of gift) and presenting it in a plain plastic bag will ruin the entire gifting experience for the gift recipient. The message of a gift in a plain plastic bag goes something like this: “Okay, I remembered to buy you something for this occasion, but it took exactly two minutes of my time, since I bought it at a gas station on the way here.” Furthermore, it also shows that the gift giver has a low level of good manners.

So, be sure to put the perfume (or any other Valentine’s gift) in a beautiful gift bag or wrap it in decorative paper or cellophane. A great way to organize a perfume gift for women is to make a perfume gift basket, which can also contain other gift items, such as candy or small stuffed toys.

4. Behave and dress to impress
More than the monetary value of the gift, it will be important how your lady will feel when you give her the Valentine’s gift. Make that day special. Let her feel that she is the only one, that you have prepared yourself and that you care how she feels. So brush your teeth, cut your nails, put on a nice suit, a red rose between your teeth, and present the perfume to her in some nice meeting place. You’ll impress her for Valentine’s Day this year, make sure of that!

5. Let treasuring your loving bond become your daily habit

You can’t buy true love with money or things, because it’s priceless. Therefore, the monetary value of the Valentine’s gift is the least important. What really counts and what your Valentine’s lady will appreciate is that you’ve spent some time and consideration preparing a romantic ‘gift’ for her.

Valentine’s Day is only one day a year and if you want your love to grow, flourish and be fruitful in the future, you have to take care of it every day of the year. Choosing the right perfume for a Valentine’s gift for your lady can take some time, but it’s worth it. It can be a thoughtful gift that can help nurture your love bond with her.
