In this age of technology, there seems to be an overload of communication devices: cell phones, PDAs, email, websites, and the list goes on and on. While it may be tempting for companies to allow employees to use these devices, that’s not true for the medical industry, especially first responders.

First responders do not always need two-way communications, in fact, sometimes two-way communication devices can cause more hazards and hazards for the first responder. Additionally, these devices can be inherently unreliable, presenting another set of issues for a first responder to manage. For these personnel, it is essential to have a secure, reliable and proven form of communication. These people need the best communication resource, which is still the pager.

Pagers remain one of the most reliable methods of relaying information to first responders who may find themselves in dangerous and chaotic situations. Pagers also have higher reliability and work in situations where cell phones fail. Pager systems feature high power transmission of up to 3500 watts of effective power, while typical cellular systems are rated at 100 watts. In addition, the simulcast network from which a pager operates provides simultaneous delivery of a radio signal from multiple transmitters providing a wider coverage area and better penetration into buildings than other technologies. By comparison, cellular-type networks allocate a single channel on a single transmitter to a mobile connection with a smaller range, and then rely on the network to “pass” the call to another tower, if a channel is available and not overloaded. Paging systems can easily designate priorities and automatically block or limit non-critical users during periods of time when priority access is imperative for emergency users. Pagers are also not subject to ground faults. Should a pager communications tower fall, it can be erected quickly and easily, even in the back of a pickup truck. The same is not true of cell phone towers.

What does all this mean for the lifeguard? It means that the safety and ability of first responders will not be compromised by equipment failure. Emergency personnel deserve and need to have reliable and effective communication in any given situation. Cell services are not that reliable. Whether it’s inside a building, a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, an underground structure, a rural location, or simply a dead or overloaded cellular zone in a neighborhood, the pager will continue to function so that essential messages and information can be transmitted to those who are in the front. lines. Pagers also have a long battery life and a first responder will not find themselves in a situation where the communication device needs to be charged and does not work. Pagers have also been shown time and time again to be the only effective way to communicate mass messages simultaneously, whether those messages are directed at first responders or other groups of people who need emergency information. In natural disaster situations, this type of communication is not only necessary, but can mean the difference between life and death. And, in situations where flammable chemicals are present, pagers are not flammable and cannot release enough electrical or thermal energy to cause an explosion. This provides safety and comfort for those who put themselves in harm’s way.

For first responders, there really is no other reliable, secure, and effective means of communication than a pager. They are intrinsically safe, reliable and durable devices. The pager has stood the test of time and has proven to be the leader in communication devices year after year for the most important people in any emergency situation, the first responders. When other communication devices fail, the pager will continue to work to ensure the responder does their job like the professionals they are. Pagers for first responders are a must!

So how do you calculate positive cash flow from a real estate investment? Are you saying that cash flow is the difference between your monthly rent amount and your mortgage payment? If so, shame on yourself.

There are more expenses to managing a rental property than the mortgage payment. Most banks use 75% of the monthly rental amount as a guideline which they believe is a better indication of what you will actually get in the bottom line. For example, if the monthly rent is $1,000 per month, they will say that you have $750 per month of income.

So where does that other 25% go? Well, it goes towards maintenance, availability, administration, taxes, insurance, legal, accounting, and other expenses you would have running a business, and don’t be fooled; real estate investing IS a business.

There is a calculation often used in commercial real estate investing that some of us have adapted to the world of residential real estate investing: net operating income.

The net operating income calculations involved determine what the property’s true income is (not including the mortgage payment).

So, if you had a rental income of $1,000 per month and you subtract taxes, insurance, a reasonable estimate of the effect of vacancies, maintenance, and administration, the number you are left with is your net operating income for that property.

If we calculate this number first, we can use a financial calculator to determine the maximum debt a property can bear with that monthly payment and the interest rate at which we can borrow.

If the amount we can borrow is more than the purchase price (minus what we’re willing to put down), then we can honestly say that the property appears to be cash flow positive. If it’s lower than the purchase price, then we know we either need to put more money down or we have negative cash flow which is really like making a down payment over time in my opinion.

Therefore, the next time you do your investment property analysis, I encourage you to do your own net operating income calculation to determine the cash flow of the potential real estate deal.

There is a house on your block that is vacant. The grass is a bit unkempt. The exterior could use a good pressure washing. You find yourself daydreaming about buying it, fixing it up, and then selling it for a nice profit. But you think that’s all you’re capable of right now, just dream. Doesn’t buying a home, even one that needs improvements, involve a hefty down payment? A down payment you don’t have.

The house is not the only thing that needs a reform; your mindset needs to be redone. You can finance the purchase of a home with no money out of your own pocket.

Is your iffy credit score showing up causing you more doubt? Obtaining a loan from a bank is not an option, what do you say? Here’s a new way to think about real estate investing: get private investors to give you the money you need to make the purchase.

If your idea of ​​a private investor is a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, think again.

A private investor you can approach to invest in real estate may be as close to you as right next door. Do you have a family member or neighbor who runs a successful business? A business person who would like to make an investment but isn’t sure where to put their money? Do you know someone who invests in the stock market? Not everyone with a stock portfolio is rich; They may simply be looking for a way to get more for their money. Offering these potential partners a better return can get you the funding.

Financing to invest in a property is the main part of the first step to remodeling a house. After you secure the money, the next 4 steps include: finding a home you want to buy; subcontracting the repair work to a contractor; have a real estate market and sell the property; and find a title company to handle the paperwork.

Okay, you have the funds, but what about other expenses that will occur during this process?

The real estate agent and title company will be paid when the home purchase closes, just like you. You can find a repo or short sale home to buy through MLS listings and government foreclosure listings. Even driving through a neighborhood you’d like to invest in will help you find obviously vacant homes that might work.

The steps to invest in real estate and change your investment are simple. However, there is another step in the process. Find a trainer. Someone who practices what he preaches. Someone who will help you take those steps, using his experience to help you succeed. Find someone who can teach you how to get financing and help you get started on those steps toward investing in real estate.

You may think that having bad credit will keep you from owning a home, but your credit situation doesn’t necessarily have to dampen your dream of owning a home. Think about it. In today’s economic realities, many people have struggled with some bad results on their credit histories. And all of these people still have longings and yearnings just like those who have somehow managed to maintain their good credit ratings. Recognizing this untapped market, lenders have stepped up and designed bad credit home loans.

Engineering Loans

These bad credit home loans do not place as much importance on your credit rating as regular mortgages. They will be more interested in your debt-to-income ratio. They will want to know exactly how much you have left over each month after meeting all your necessary obligations, such as utilities, life and health insurance, along with other necessities, and they will look to see if you have been responsible enough or not. Have a savings account as well as an emergency fund. Many lenders will also want to have a down payment. This could require a sum of 10-20% of the cost of the loan. You can find bad credit home loans that require no down payment, but their interest rates will be significantly higher.

Pre-approval test

If you’re really unsure of your qualifications, you may want to get pre-qualified for a home loan. This does not require a commitment to the specific lender from whom you are pre-approving. But it will identify any credit problems, reveal how much money you can really afford to spend on a home, and show all lenders that you are serious about homeownership. This is good proof of qualification even for buyers with excellent credit. When a real estate agent or homeowner asks you about your financing, it lends itself a lot to their conversation to negotiate when you can say you’re pre-approved for a mortgage. Having a buyer with cash practically on hand really brings the pot to a boil.

Finding a bad credit home loan lender

If you have a longstanding relationship with a bank or credit union, if you have had accounts with them for a considerable period of time, and especially if you have retirement or investment accounts with them, ask them there first, their interest rates they will be lower, if you can qualify. If that is not the case, your best option would be to search for suitable lenders on the Internet. Simply enter the key phrase in your web browser: Bad credit home loan. You will be introduced to a number of lenders willing to offer you the opportunity to obtain a bad credit home loan. You’ll even find brokers who will take your preliminary personal and financial information and come up with a list of lenders who are likely to approve a bad credit home loan based on the information you’ve provided.

Other considerations about home loans with bad credit

When you’ve narrowed the field down to four or five lenders who seem to work with you, check their credentials. A good place to start would be to check the Better Business Bureau’s online listings. There you will find the qualified companies and the comments of former customers. You can also check personal finance forums to see if you can learn more about the lender from past clients. At this point, if it’s possible given your credit score and salary, you may want to borrow a little more than the cost of the loan to buy a new car or start some home renovations right away. With the expanding market for people with bad credit, you may be surprised at some of the deals you can get.

The dead weight. The elevation of the ego of the lower part of the body. Big numbers and big weights can go up pretty easily for most athletes when practicing this lift. Like everything, with success comes rush, and with rush comes declines in quality and diligence. For any athlete who uses the deadlift regularly, CrossFit, powerlifters or traditional athletes, it is a movement that must be used with care. This article will talk about why you don’t need to deadlift for max weight, their replacements, and specifically how this applies to CrossFit athletes.

Do not misunderstand. As a coach and athlete, I will argue that the deadlift is an invaluable strengthening tool for the posterior chain. Not many lifts use so many large muscles that they allow us to lift such a large amount of weight. It’s not that unusual to see an athlete training with deadlifts for just a few months to get to the point where he can lift 1.5x or even 2x body weight and more. With more accessory training and time, a 3x bodyweight deadlift can be achieved for more highly trained and better trained athletes. For this and other reasons it is a lift that needs to be done very often in the training cycles.

The reason I am careful with the deadlift, both in my own training and in the training of the athletes I work with, is that it is extremely taxing when fully trained, both on the CNS due to the high amount of stress. weight being held, and on the posterior chain. In reference to the former, if an athlete is training max (and max refers to working at max weight for a 3 rep scheme or less) every week or more than once a week, they are most likely that the body is using drops more than it is worth, which greatly affects the following days of training. In reference to the latter, any coach or athlete who is relatively well schooled in strength training will tell you that training lifts to the max will sometimes cause a lifter to lose perfect form. Some coaches may even argue (including myself) that it’s okay to lose form to some degree during a max lift because he trains the body to come out of a less than perfect lift safely and successfully. However, with the sheer amount of weight lifted in the deadlift, less than perfect form can lead to strain and pain in the lower back, hips, and hamstrings, and can even lead to injury. Like the problem with CNS taxes, this leads to athletes missing training days. No matter what sport you are training for, this is not good.

So what other options do we have?

The Soviets were onto something with their weightlifting studies back in the Iron Curtain days. The reason so much good information, not just about lifting but strength development in general, comes from that time is because they had such a large population participating in the sport of powerlifting. With so many people training for strength, Soviet trainers were able to come up with some very tried and true theories on how to get stronger by maintaining a very high level of volume every day.

The key ingredient: speed.

Speed ​​is king. This philosophy has been adopted by training methods all over the world and in all different sports. Louie Simmons took this idea and created an entire training template based on moving the weight as fast as possible and keeping the muscles under tension during these high speed lifts. It has been proven time and time again that the best way to gain strength is to apply maximum force on a bar as quickly as possible.

This speed is all relative. Obviously, the speed at which you squat which is your 1rm is going to be much slower than the speed at which you squat 50% of that on your dynamic squat days. But exerting as much force as possible to lift that weight is equivalent to moving a lighter weight with explosive speed, allowing you to engage different/bigger motor units and muscles than a lighter load/slower lift. What is important is the number of times you can activate these motor units.

The motor units are what cause the muscle to contract. You want to lift something, the brain sends a signal to the muscle, the motor units fire, it makes the muscle contract, we lift it. However, their motor units are ordered from small to large. Smaller ones fire the easiest and first, bigger ones are harder to recruit and fire last. You may have guessed that smaller motor units are connected to smaller muscle fibers while larger motor units are connected to larger muscle fibers. So what we have here is a neat little order that dictates how and when we access the largest muscles in our body. This is called the Henneman Size Principle. Use small motor units to lift loads that are below maximum and only take advantage of larger motor units by lifting maximum loads…or lifting with maximum speed. Small motor units are more sustainable, meaning you can use them repeatedly more easily, while large motor units tire faster and take longer to recover. Remember this, later.

Think of it in terms of the fight or flight mentality. In the past, I’m talking about a long time ago, fight or flight meant being eaten by a saber-tooth tiger or not being eaten. The peak of this fighting mentality is when you are getting out of that cave faster than the tiger, or even ripping the tooth out of the tiger’s mouth and using it to kill the beast. It is at this peak that you are recruiting everything, including the largest muscles and motor units in your body. It’s how/why you can achieve uncanny feats of strength under pressure.

How do you simulate this situation during training? Making your body exert the greatest amount of force and therefore speed possible on a load. So let’s take a look at the deadlift. It takes a ton of force to lift a 500# 1RM, right? It may not be super fast, but you’ve definitely flipped that fight switch and gotten into those larger motor units during the lift. So why not just lift a 1rm once a week?

Think about how often you can lift that 1RM deadlift in one session. Then think about how often you can safely lift it. This is where we get into efficiency of use. What Elwood Henneman discovered, the Soviets experimented with, and Louie Simmons applied is that we can get bigger and stronger by not just raising highs here and there, but raising sub-maxes as fast as possible over and over again. If you can recruit the same large motor units that you do doing a 1rm, the same ones that are connected to the largest muscles in your body, lifting 50-70% of that multiple times in one session, what do you think is more beneficial? to build strength? If you can tap into those large motor units/large muscles multiple if not 10 times in one training session, you will train those nerves (motor units) to be able to shoot more often without fatigue and therefore you will be able to train those muscles more bigger/stronger more often.

For example, instead of lifting that 1RM deadlift weekly, think about doing Olympic lifts in variable percentages almost every day. Not only is this done to improve your Olympic lifts, but explosively pulling off the ground (exerting maximum force and speed on a load) takes advantage of those larger motor units. While you may not always be recruiting the biggest and strongest, you are training him to harness those larger muscle groups and units on a repetitive basis. Not only applicable to strength, but also specifically applicable to CrossFit. To perform at the highest level in this sport, you must be able to move the weight very quickly and over and over again. In other words, you need to be able to recruit those high-end motor units, the largest muscles in your body, over and over again. If you only train them once at a time, you train them to fire/recruit once at a time.

To replace the lack of heavy loading, he also performs heavy but explosive pulls once a week. By putting more than your maximum load or snatch into your pulls and doing them as fast as you can, you’re taking advantage of the larger, harder-to-reach motor units. By doing them for repetitions, you are forcing/training them to fire repetitively. So not only are you mentally training yourself to be able to pull a weight heavier than ever before, but you’re physically training yourself to actually be able to do it. This correlates to a higher deadlift because regardless of the load on the bar, you’re training the largest and most powerful muscles in your body MULTIPLE TIMES per set, not just one at a time. Build muscular strength and endurance in a variety of ways.

Where Louie Simmons helped most was in convincing the masses of the benefits of accommodating resistance. The bands and chains used for vertical lifts mean that even when using a sub-maximal weight, an athlete has to shoot through the entire lift. This is made possible by accommodation resistance which adds weight/resistance as the lift (generally) becomes easier. Think top deadlift, bench, squat. This results in an athlete having to be explosive not only during the hard “sticking point” of the lift but throughout the entire exercise, making the aforementioned high-level motor unit recruitment happen even at a “lighter” weight.

Note your speed on each lift. Lifting aggressively and quickly allows him to get stronger. You don’t have to always use a max charge to get stronger using the above science. That’s why with The ProgramWOD and at CrossFit Lando we do squats with specific percentages and reps and why we do a lot of dynamic lifting. If you can move it faster, do it.

Elite athletes need to train efficiently. This refers not only to time, but also to the tension in the body. It doesn’t do an athlete any good to train on the ground or get injured. The goal is to be able to train at a high level all or most of the time. Deadlifting isn’t necessarily “bad” for you, but it certainly strains the CNS and causes a lot of pain and injury. If we can avoid this, why not do it? Of course, the stimulus of pulling a deadlift several times should still be used because it is a very different and specific stimulus. But movements like dynamic pulls, box squats, and lighter deadlifts with adaptive resistance can be used in place of multiple days of max deadlifts in a training cycle. This allows an athlete to continuously build strength throughout waves of training without taking extended rest time due to exhaustion or injury.

BOOK SEARCH TIPS: Originally for the Beck Valley Books website, but can be used at many online bookstores.

quick search

Use the quick search at the top of the website to enter the book title, author, ISBN, or a keyword. You can type the words in upper or lower case, getting the same results. Always be very careful about the spelling of your search information.

Keep in mind that not all books have ISBN numbers, even modern fiction. These books are published primarily for book clubs by the publisher, they are exactly the same as the original book but do not have an ISBN. By typing in the ISBN, you could be missing out on potential books for sale.

If your search is unsuccessful, you will automatically be directed to the advanced search page.

Advanced search

Advanced search is a more detailed search, allowing you to search for your book in a variety of ways, with additional options for you to choose from if needed.

Qualification:

You can enter the full title of the book, part of the title, or keywords. If you have ‘&’ in the title and the book doesn’t appear in the search results, try using ‘and’ or you’ll miss it entirely. Also, if the book title has commas, voice marks, apostrophes, etc., and again it doesn’t show up in the search results, try again by omitting them entirely.

Be careful if you are typing the full title of the book, as the book titles on the website may be slightly different or abbreviated.

Few places in the Caribbean rival Puerto Rico in beauty and even fewer rival it in investment potential. As a territory of the United States, it has almost been recognized as one of those states several times in the last two decades. Political optimists predict that, in our lifetimes, the United States will add Puerto Rico as its fifty-first state. With statehood, real estate values ​​in this small island country will skyrocket. Savvy investors are busy scanning Puerto Rico real estate listings today with an eye toward what tomorrow might bring.

Of course, there are many more reasons to buy land, a house or a hotel in this tropical paradise. Rich in history, natural beauty, and a vibrant yet colorful lifestyle, it is a natural draw for tourists, retirees, and those who can afford to spend weeks or months in one of the many rentals that range from small apartments to beachfront mansions. sea. Many who visit, however, don’t bother to leave. With home and property prices still in the “reasonable” range by investment standards, there are many individuals and companies eager to close the deal on investment-quality Puerto Rico.

Unlike some of the smaller island countries in the Caribbean, it can give you a view of the city or the countryside. It has great beaches, towering cliffs and waterfalls, and an economy driven by tourism. Of course, tourism is not the only attraction for people interested in investing in its offers.

The industry is also pushing here, where shipping routes to the US, South America, and Central America intersect. This makes this a place where investors interested in industrial, commercial and residential properties can make a financial killing. The Puerto Rico real estate market is an attraction for almost all types of real estate investors, and perhaps for some of us who are simply enchanted by the beauty of the place and the warm tropical winds.

Whatever the reason, I suggest you spend a couple of weeks in Puerto Rico and familiarize yourself with the different regions. There are many real estate agents offering international rentals and you can use the time to sightsee and view specific areas for potential investment purposes.

With its tropical undertones and subtle Americanized social infrastructure, this country is possibly the most underrated investment opportunity in this region of the world. That does not mean, however, that real estate in Puerto Rico is not selling or that prices have bottomed out. While good deals can be had, there isn’t a glut of properties desperate to be sucked up by investors. Even with the current housing crisis in the US, the Puerto Rican market remains strong and reselling property here generally gives the investor a good return on their initial investment.

So for warm winds, a range of geographic beauty, and a variety of properties with varied potentials, think about it and consider it an investment with a bright future.

Ten years ago, I was sitting in a conference. The announcer began to show his life on the screen. As we sat back and watched his incredible story unfold from him, our lives changed. How we think is who we are. What we think is what we are. I want to share with you my photo. As you read my photo, think about your photo.

Outside there is a patio that surrounds the house. There is a stream that flows near the house. There are some dormant willows and a nice oak tree. As I walk up to my beautiful Catherine-built home to the tall doors, I turn to look at my favorite leaning tree. He leans towards me. My house is white with black details. When I walk through the doors of my house, I am standing in the foye’. There are high cathedral ceilings. I look ahead and see the spiral stairs that go up to the second floor. I look around and I can see the open second floor. I look to my left and walk towards the living room. Here is my furniture from my white living room. There is a black and white plush rug. I walk through the living room to the kitchen. There is a marble island and double sink and flat top stove. My assistant is having dinner. I turn to my left and open the metal fridge to get a drink. I reach the cabinet and grab a glass. I push the glass under the ice maker for some ice. Me for my drink. My assistant is giving me my messages and tells me how his day has been. I have to check on mom and dad and my brother called to find out what’s up with the Dallas Cowboys group trip. I step out of my sliding glass doors onto the patio. The sun feels so good. I think I want to make plans to fly to Jamaica for a month. I return to the kitchen and walk to my left towards my dining room. There sits a beautiful Queen Anne set and that sideboard has all my grandmother’s and aunt’s china on it. I walk through the dining room to my office. There is this image in a frame on the wall. This is the first thing I will talk about in next week’s seminar. This really works. I sit and call my sounds. They are very successful and sooo smart. I am very proud of them. WOW look what we have accomplished. After talking with mom, I decide to go upstairs. I’m going up the spiral stairs, turn right, and walk down the hall to my bedroom, which is above my office. As I walk into my room, there sits the huge 4 poster king size bed. I lose myself there The carpet is beige plush. I walk past the bed to the Jacuzzi. I climb two steps to turn on the electric massage water. I go downstairs and go into the bathroom. I look in the mirror and say to myself, Yes! You are so successful and you are making a positive difference in people’s lives. I undress and walk to the jacuzzi. Ohhh this feels so good. I sit back and relax. I thank our Lord in the heights because without him nothing is possible.

Which is your photo?

When you need to sell your home, things can get pretty emotional.

For one thing, you want to get the best price and terms possible. On the other hand, you have a timeline that could keep you up all night wondering how you’re going to make it.

In a perfect world, you’d be able to call your friendly real estate agent… get listed on the MLS… schedule the property for showings… and wait for the best offer.

For most people, however, it’s not that simple.

You may not have the capital necessary to pay commissions and fees. And you certainly don’t have an extra $10,000 to $20,000 to bring to the closing table…just to sell your house.

Or, you may not be able to sit back and wait 3-6 months of open houses and showings until the perfect buyer shows up, cash in hand, to pay you full price for your home. It could be a job transfer, an illness, or any other unexpected surprise in life.

In these situations, the best thing to do is wait and pray, or attack the problem a little more creatively.

There is an option available that most people overlook when trying to sell their property. One that can help you sell the house fast, get full price, and provide instant (or almost) relief on your mortgage payment. And that solution is to sell with a lease option.

A lease option (or rent-to-own) is when you sell your property to a qualified tenant/buyer through a lease-to-own option. The lease establishes a predetermined term, which can range from 6 months to 10 years (depending on the price you need to pay your current mortgage) and an option that sets the purchase price and closing terms.

By selling this way, you get the full retail price of your property, which is perfect if you don’t have a lot of equity or if your mortgage is higher than the home’s current market price, and you don’t have to pay any fees. or commissions, since you are selling privately and not through an agent or broker.

Now, you may be thinking, but I don’t want to rent my house, I just want to sell it.

And that is a completely valid statement. This is not the best solution. far from there However, it may be the solution that gets you under your payments and allows you to move quickly, while still getting full price when the tenant/buyer collects it.

The tenant/buyer is a different type of buyer. Not just a serial renter, jumping from one rental to another, but an actual buyer who really wants to buy his property, but needs more time to get his mortgage approved. Since the real estate crisis, home loans have become a headache. Working families, with steady jobs and sufficient income, are having trouble getting through all the loopholes created by lenders before they write a check…resulting in more time to save more for a down payment and fix any little kinks technician on your credit. They work monthly with mortgage brokers to get your paperwork on board to get your loan closed.

And this market is huge. Not many people right now can buy a home with cash, and those who can will rarely pay full retail price. After all, they have a huge bargaining advantage. So they will wait and make multiple low offers until they can find a seller desperate enough to sell for pennies on the dollar. However, if you are open to selling creatively, then you have access to this untapped market of real buyers (not a hedge fund or other foreign investment trust looking to improve their bottom line) who just want a beautiful home to live with. your families. . And you can have a win-win situation selling your home and helping these hard-working families at the same time.

Post-bubble bust, real estate investing in a networked world pretty much achieves this discussion, grab your web surfboard and enjoy the ride.

In this article, I show you what’s working in real estate today and how to use the web and automation to create stimuli you can use right away to take advantage of real estate investment opportunities today. You’ll be shown how to find, finance, and market exciting properties while building large lists of buyers and sellers using the Internet to do some of the critical heavy lifting for you.

There are a variety of reasons why the following property types are all the rage, just know that Single Family Homes (SFHs), Condos and Townhomes, Apartment Homes (Multiple Units), Mobile Homes, and Parks and Vacation Homes in many markets are for sale now Some methods to find and control these assets are: wholesale, rehabilitation and retail, purchase, hold and rent, lease with options to buy, assumption of existing mortgages, subjection to existing mortgages and processing probate, auctions, foreclosures and short operations. dirty. (Buying lists for bankruptcies, foreclosures, probate, tax liens, evictions, and divorces also work well.)
