I have to admitt, i immediately went hard while looking at this glitterious Soho crash pad, who said that Porn was necessary to get aroused ?Obviously, I only need a 6000 SF duplex Penthouse condo loft. It has been newly redesigned and renovated with no expense spared to create the most luxurious and important property in Soho and in all of downtown Manhattan.But the price just pissed me off : 14,995,000 $ ! Jesus Heaven Christ, for that amount you can have a mad crazy place in Central Park + another mad crazy home in the Hamptons or Miami…

A single man (or woman) might find solace here in this neat and tidy unit in Greenpoint down by the river Newtown Creek.

Now you’ll see what I see…

- Spacious and gracious bedroom.  Accordion metal gates give it just a hint of danger.  Situated in the back of the building so the din of industry won’t disturb thee.

- Plenty ‘o closet for ye.

- Every king (or queen) needs his (or her) throne.  Sorry it’s a bit blurry but you can make out the outlines of the essentials.

- Technically this is the dining/living/kitchen.  All it’s really got goin’ for it is that little window high up there and the cabinets are an olivy green shade of gross.

- Here’s the great surprise… there’s another unit that’s privately connected to the one upstairs!  That means this is technically a duplex.  SAWEET!

- This is the bathroom that goes with it.  Standing shower and I swear there’s a toilet back there.

- And it gets SWEETER!  Your own private backyard patio and…

- …you’re own private ALLEY!  Never had one of these myself so I don’t know what to really do with it.  Might be an interesting place to grow vines.  Suggestions would be GREAT!

- You don’t need to rent both units to have the benefit of this common coin-op laundry!  Pretty sweet convenience considering there’s not much at all out by where this building is.

- Heat and hot water are INDEED included.

- If you choose to rent both units, the monthly total comes to $1495.

- Landlord requires first, last, and security to move in (that’s 3x the rent.)

- Not sure about pets but if you comment and ask me, I’ll find out.

- Available 12/1/09

- Map here.

First person to comment gets it.  GO!

This loft/duplex is located métro Abbesses, probably the best location in Paris, a 1min walk from the famous Amélie Poulain café. Near all cafés, restaurants and shops. But in a very quiet small street.

Working Mom October 2009 Issue

So Joanne Quintas, actress, make-up artist and mom, prefers to stay away from condominiums. “The fact that I have kids means that I shouldn’t live in a condo,” she says. “Otherwise it’s like living in a hotel for them. Being in an actual house is always a different feeling and a place like Helena is a great starter home for a family like mine.”

Helena is one of the developments in Mahogany Place III in Taguig and yet it has all the facilities that make condominium living so attractive but with the space of a real house. “My kids can feel part of a community,” Joanne shares. “And they can avail of the great amenities like the pool, park, and playground area.” It has 24-hour security service as well which means all day and all night protection for your loved ones. And since it’s not a condominium, it has high ceilings and a whole lot of space for everyone.

In fact, it is customizable and that makes it even more appealing for Joanne. “This way I can make it kid-friendly and make big bathrooms,” she exclaims. “I also like the kitchen area. Since I’m an HRM graduate, I love to cook which means I always want a big and nice kitchen. This way I can cook for and with my kids.” To add, Helena has oversized doors, 3 bedrooms, an open floor lay-out, and high-end finishes. It’s got 2 car parking docks and generous balconies. It’s a real home!

And it’s a home that’s not in the middle of the city with all the pollution and the noise. “Since I have kids, it’s important that we are away from the congestion and pollution,” says Joanne. Mahogany Place III is accessible from c5 and is only a few minutes from The Fort and Makati and is nearby all access routes to the rest of the city. And what are the advantages of this? Joanne quickly answers, “With Mahogany Place III, it is within the city proper and not in the heart of the city. The place is roomy and so quiet that she has the feeling that she’s outside Manila. But in fact, The Fort and Makati are really nearby. It has a really fresh and clean feeling”

Joanne sometimes finds herself coming home from a shoot or a taping very, very early in the morning. Sometimes, she comes home at 6am and just as she is about to sleep, the rest of the city wakes up. The noise of car horns makes sleeping very difficult for her. But she won’t hear any of those noises in Helena. For her family, Helena in Mahogany Place III is the perfect choice.

Condominiums offer so much but lack in what makes a home a home- space with which to do your favorite things with your family. Helena is the kind of house that families can grow in, and can be themselves in. It’s fully customized to suit your needs and is ready for occupancy.

“It is great value for money, especially since you get a lot and a house, all brand new and ready to move in,” explains Joanne. “And because you can customize it, this means this is a home that you have created that you and your family will really love and really use  based on the way you live and what you like”

Take it from this busy working mom’s happy smile.

… or how to get around the McMansion ordinance and its hatred towards much needed duplexes and still have cool design.Notice how the articulation makes the building seem to move and how the shared wall and the front are broken up and shifted to prevent a massive look.

By Ernest O’Dell

Guerrilla warfare is the unconventional warfare and combat with which a small group of combatants use mobile tactics (ambushes, raids, etc.) to combat a larger and less mobile formal army. The guerrilla army uses ambush (stealth and surprise) and mobility (draw enemy forces to terrain unsuited to them) in attacking vulnerable targets in enemy territory.

Guerrilla marketing utilizes many of the same tactics in the business world in the sense that small companies and individuals must use stealth and surprise to gain a market advantage. Not only S&S (Stealth & Surprise), but you must become adept at drawing your competitor into unfamiliar terrain to gain the “upper hand” on them and capture the lead in market share.

Guerrilla means “little war” in Spanish and was coined during the Peninsular War. The concept acknowledges a conflict between armed civilians against a powerful nation state army. This tactic was used by the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army during the Vietnam War. Most factions of the Iraqi Insurgency and terrorists use some form of guerrilla warfare.

In your business, whether it is an “Internet” based business, a used car dealership, a real estate agency—or any other type of business—you must be quick and agile and use unconventional marketing tactics against the bigger corporations.

Can you make a sizable “dent” in the marketplace? Yes. Can you make an impression on the big competitors? Absolutely.

In any business, “guerrilla” defines the smaller business as being able to move on a moment’s notice, and be more agile than the cumbersome giants in the industry. You have to be like a small wolverine up against a pack of wolves: you have to be lean and fast… otherwise, the corporate giants will have you for lunch. And I don’t mean that they’re going to invite you to their corporate galas: they’re going to pounce on you and try to force you out of business.

When it comes to the Internet based portion of your business, you’re going to run up against the likes of some big names in the Internet Marketing sector. I won’t name any names: you already know who they are.

When they find out what you’re doing and how you’re taking “market share” away from them, they’re going to “cry foul” and bad-mouth you on their forums and try to steer customers away from you. But you will have already had the “jump” on them, and they’ll never recover.

When you raise the eyebrows of the big names in the IM community—and trust me, you will—then you will know you’ve successfully learned, and implemented, “black ops” guerrilla marketing strategies for your business.

Your Size Is Your Strength

I’m happy to tell you that your size is an ally when it comes to your marketing efforts against bigger competitors. If you’re a small company, or a single individual, you can utilize the tactics of guerrilla marketing to your advantage—and your competitor’s demise. You can leave them in the dust of your trail, scratching their heads, wondering, “How did they do that?”

You Must Have Quality

What you are offering is quality: whether it is a product or a service, or both. Even the best marketing efforts in the world won’t motivate customers to purchase from you more than once if your service (or products) are lackluster. In fact, the most brilliant marketing campaign can speed the demise of a poor product or service, since people learn of the shoddiness much quicker. And with “word of mouth” , “word” will eventually “get around.”

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

The more attention you pay to your market and your competitors, the more agile you will be when it comes time to “strike” an attack. A great deal of marketing isn’t merely executed poorly these days—it’s just not executed at all! Pay attention to what your competitors are doing… and what they’re NOT doing.

There Is No Substitute For Excellence

Guerrilla marketing on the Internet dictates that you comprehend every facet of marketing and your industry. It demands that you employ your tactics and strategies with excellence. There is no room for error.

To understand the nature of this idea, it may be useful to examine the real reasons why Japan was able to knock the United States off its perch as world leader in the manufacturing, TV, stereo, automobile, and electronics industries.

For years, industry in the United States has been able to turn out excellent products and services with a low percentage of rejects. Occasionally, you might get a lemon, but it was rare. The buying public wasn’t really surprised by it, and eventually became accustomed to the concept. However, word of mouth got around and usually took care of the cause of the “lemons.”

After Japan suffered a monumental defeat in World War II, their products sold here in the United States carried an equally defeated stigma of poor quality. For years the phrase “Made in Japan” was a detriment to the product, and would elicit a smirk from sophisticated consumers. (Think Chinese: they now have the same problem. They turn out crap.)

How did the Japanese overcome this problem? They decided to fly in the face of the economic truism that allowed for a small percentage of inferior products and services. They figured if the public would accept, let’s say, a 5% inferiority rate in products, it might happily embrace products of which fewer than 5% were unacceptable. But according to economists, this would cost a lot of money. Perhaps that is true for big corporations, but it’s not true for small companies and individuals.

The Japanese really had no other choice: they had nowhere to go but up. They had no choice but to become successful. They were practically bombed back to the Stone Age, and figured it was worth the time and expense. They improved the quality of what they made to the point that right now, they have less than 200 rejects per million units. That’s less than 0.0002%!

Is it any wonder why we are seeing many of our industries failing because they’ve been conditioned to believe that 5% rejection rates are acceptable? Is it any wonder why our own auto industry is in trouble because they haven’t figured out how to “trim the fat” and make themselves “leaner and meaner” and more productive? Perhaps they could learn a lesson or two in guerrilla marketing.

Guerrilla marketing involves recognizing a myriad of opportunities and exploiting every one of them. Like the Japanese, don’t overlook a thing. Don’t discount or dismiss any tactic or strategy that you haven’t tried.

In the marketing of your product, you’re going to encounter problems and challenges from time to time. These are going to be opportunities for you to come up with a winning solution, not only for yourself, but also for your clients.

You won’t have the luxury of neglecting the smaller opportunities, nor overlooking certain tactics and strategies. You’ve got to go “all out.” Because if your competition uses a tactic or strategy that you wrote off as useless, you just might find yourself in the trail of THEIR dust! You don’t want that to happen!

To your success!

The “Black Ops Manual In Guerrilla Internet Marketing” will be due out before Thanksgiving on Amazon.com. Watch for it!

As “D-Day” nears for the first-time homebuyer tax credit, key Senate members have tentatively agreed to extend the existing $8,000 tax credit.

In addition, a $6,500 tax credit is being proposed for existing homeowners who have lived in their current home for a consecutive five-year period in the past eight years of home ownership.  For both potential tax credits, the buyer must be under contract by April 30, 2010 and must close by July 1, 2010.  The income eligibility prerequisite for first-time home buyers would remain the same, but would be higher for “step-up” buyers – $125,000 cap for individuals and $250,000 for couples.

As for mortgage rates, they are likely to remain low for the time being.

The Federal Open Market Committee said in its September minutes that when it came to interest rates, there is “no policy change.” And the minutes said that while the Fed believes “an economic recovery is underway,” it regards a weak economy as a greater risk than inflation. Source: BusinesWeek.com

In addition, unemployment remains high at 9.7% and the discount rate (the rate the Fed charges banks that borrow from it) has held at 0.5 percent.  The spread between the Federal Funds rate and the discount rate has varied minimally as well.

Guerrilla Real Estate Marketing by Ernest ODell – Your Secret Arsenal For Making Extreme Profits In Your Real Estate

So a few hours ago we signed a lease on a cute 2-bedroom duplex on the near-east side. It was our favorite place of all the places we saw but they supposedly didn’t allow dogs. So we begged and pleaded and the owner agreed to meet our dog and promptly fell in love.

We filled out the app and crossed our fingers and toes and legs and arms and hairs. Days went by and we’d drive by the street saying, “Come on, duplex!!” I’d drive home and whine that I want to be home NOW, HERE, AT THIS LIGHT, I don’t want to have to drive across Airport, whose light timing at the intersection with MLK is some of the worst city planning I’ve seen. 5 cycles during rush hour? Really?

And then we got the word that it was ours! It’s a recently remodeled 2 bedroom, 1 bath with sage green paint in all the rooms (so no painting!), gas stove, central A/H, ceiling fans in all the rooms and (faux, I think) hardwoods. The owner lives in the front part and we’ll share a laundry room. The backyard is all gravelly landscaping with some fresh soil by the door for me to grow a tiny herb garden. The living room/kitchen is a huge open space so we’ll get to be creative with that space, maybe dividing it up, etc.

I’m SO EXCITED to get our stuff back. We go back to Houston this weekend for a quick work trip for me and I think it will be weird. I still don’t really feel any ownership in Austin, but I also don’t feel like I miss Houston, with the exception of my friends and Anvil. I’m still living out of a suitcase so I’ll just be putting different things in that suitcase when we go to Houston. And I’m so tired of the same 5 shirts I can’t even begin to express it…

They say home is where the heart is, but I am beginning to suspect that home is where you can decide that you want to wear tights and boots and can do that without running to Target. Home is where you can use that classy raincoat, find an old photo, or decide to go camping. Home is where you don’t have to do laundry every other day because you have more than 2 pairs of socks and 3 pairs of underwear. Home is where you can ride your bike to work or wear purple eyeliner or use that bath bomb you’ve been saving.

On the OTHER hand, home is also where we don’t have a TV stand because we decided we didn’t like the old one and left it by the curb. Home is where we have a 2nd bedroom but no 2nd bed. Home is where we have no desk because we sold it. Home is where we will be figuring out where to put all the books we had on the built in shelves at our old place.

And I’m looking forward to it because once we’re settled I imagine Austin will start to feel like home.

Quand le prix demandé pour une résidence devient ridicule.

La bulle immobilière qui sévie sur l’île de Montréal commence à devenir ridicule.

Sérieusement, est-ce que vous payeriez 174 500$ pour cette résidence situé dans l’Est de Montréal ?

Je ne dis rien de méchant sur cette résidence en vente par un agent immobilier de La Capitale, mais avouons que la même résidence située ‘à 60km de Montréal se vendrait sous les 90 000$.

Les prix immobiliers demandés à Montréal défient actuellement toute logique.  C’est d’un ridicule déconcertant.

Si vous achetiez par exemple cette résidence à 174 500$ en donnant 8 500$ de mise de fond.  Vous auriez une hypothèque à payer d’environ 1 050$ par mois en plus des 150$ par mois exigées en taxes municipales et scolaires.

On parle ici de 1 200$ par mois avant impôts qu’une famille doit dégager uniquement pour payer son toît.  En ajoutant à cela les coûts d’assurances et les frais de chauffage et on arrive facilement à 1 400$ par mois le tout avant impôts et la petite famille n’a pas encore manger et ne s’est pas déplacé.

Regardez maintenant cette propriété en vente, un duplex situé dans le Nord de Montréal.

Prix demandé 599 000$.  Comme propriétaire vous aurez à débourser 405$ de taxes scolaires et municipales mensuellement.

Ayoye!

Ça n’a plus aucun bon sens.  La bulle immobilière à Montréal ne peut que péter.
