Huff and Puff Your Way to a Fortune in Real Estate<\/h1>\n

Part 1: Get Your Head in the Game<\/span><\/strong>

\"DrFilling up a plastic bag with propellant and and then squeezing the bag to force it into your lungs is the new, cutting edge way to stay positive about the Real Estate Market. Are you up on the latest?<\/p>\n

“Huffing” — as its known — is the coolest thing since Twitter. If you aren’t killing a few hundred thousand brain cells before each showing with someone under the age of 50, then you are missing a golden opportunity to reach the red-hot Gen X and Gen Y market.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I keep an industrial sized drum of Aquanet<\/a> in the hatch of my Lexus SUV<\/a>. That’s right, S – U – V.\u00a0 “Oil is $140 a barrel!”, “Our Oil Based Economy is Unsustainable!”, “Al Gore is right!”, “A Gallon of Gas is $4!” these are the headlines that the Chicken Little press is using to scare us out of our SUVs and into a hybrid.<\/p>\n

Don’t let them fool you into buying a Prius. Imagine what would happen if you got rear-ended by a semi with an industrial sized drum of Aquanet<\/a> in the hatch of that tin can. Besides, according to OPEC, President Bush and Osama Bin Laden, it could be a lot worse. AND the Chicken Little press is wrong as usual: Gas is more like $4.25 a gallon. But I digress…<\/p>\n

Of course, there are certain risks associated with inhaling propellant. Look at this way:\u00a0 If you were able to look first-time homebuyers in the eye and tell them that house values always<\/em> go up and a NINA was a great way to get into a home that was way beyond their earning potential, then you shouldn’t have much Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
