Author: Mark FerrerThere are plenty of reasons why Miami luxury homes are attractive. For starters, they have excellent amenities, rivaled only by their peers. Plus the fact that they make for a great investment property is reason enough why many investors are clamoring for a slice of the high-end housing market pie. The recent downtrend only made these properties more affordable. But before you jump in the bandwagon of luxury-home investors, be sure to take these simple guides with you. Opt for an easy-to-maintain property Return of investment is important. Miami luxury homes, while affordable, are certainly more expensive than your average real estate property. What makes them even more expensive is the maintenance. You must, therefore, choose a property that can be maintained for an affordable price. You will find your answer in the condo market.

Author: Jason MarkumSo you've got a few bucks put aside and are disgusted by the close to 1% interest your local bank is paying on your savings account. And you're thinking that maybe it's time to start investing in the stock market. Well you've come to the right place! First of all, I will tell you that I'm not a licensed financial planner in any way shape or form (though I did get a degree in economics with honors from one of the best schools in the world). And I don't do this for a living. That being said, I can help you greatly! First of all, get the notion of investing in the stock market out of your head right now. You are not going to open a stock trading account online or with your local stock broker and pick some stocks to buy. That's what most people do when they first get started and most people lose all their money. But not you, you are smarter than that, you are doing a little research first and you are listening to me! They say that the stock market returns an average of 6-8% per year. That's only *sort* of true.
