Property Investment Key to Economic Recovery, Says Rick Otton

UK’s economy is in chaos due to the euro-trouble however Rick Otton believes that property investment is the key to economic recovery.

The UK economy is now sliding downhill.

Official figures have revealed that activity in the UK economy has slowed down during the last quarter of last year, as the eurozone crisis continues to threaten the country’s financial stability.  With the  second recession at our doorstep, only a bleak economic future awaits the UK and the rest of the members of the coalition.

As the Euro trouble drags down worldwide economy, property guru Rick Otton believes that contingency plans should be executed to cushion the effects of the crisis and bring the economy back to its feet. He also believes that new investment opportunities would be the key to the economic revival.

“With the Eurozone crisis dragging our economy down, we should employ new strategies, new ideas to stimulate our financial recovery.  Discovering new investments would greatly pull up our economy,”  Mr. Otton said.

Rick  Otton is recognized as an innovation leader for his introduction of cutting-edge property investment strategies in the real estate market. For more than thirty years, Mr. Otton has continuously challenged the existing system of real estate investing.

“I have been teaching my students how to make money in real estate without the need for bank loans and huge cash for deposit. My strategies are flexible that it can be employed by various types of people from all walks of life—from professional investors, to ordinary office workers and even your regular man on the street,”  he said.

“Investing should not be exclusive to people with money or to people who are employed,” Mr. Otton declared. “If investment opportunities are revealed to the public, I believe that this will help alleviate our economic situation,” he continued.

Mr. Otton’s strategies have been formulated  during the Savings and Loans Crisis of the late 1980’s and early 90’s in Texas, where a majority of the banking system has collapsed.  Using his non-conventional techniques, Mr. Otton has built himself a solid property portfolio during his first year in property investment, and his assets grew exponentially since then.

“I believe that by employing the same strategies that I have created thirty years ago under the same economic conditions, this country can ride out this financial crisis and gradually recover.  Real estate investing will put on the brakes to our backsliding economy,” said Mr. otton.

Mr. Otton shares his techniques through seminars and  his websites where he regularly givesreal estate advice. You can read up more here: http://www.rickotton.co.uk/sales-page

Weak Job Market Will Drive Real Estate Price Cuts, Warns Property Guru Rick Otton

A recent study shows that UK’s unemployment rate has increased since late last year. Property guru Rick Otton discusses the implication of this unemployment boom to the real estate market.

Finance experts consider unemployment as the most powerful sign  of an impending recession.

That is why UK economists are bothered by the recent study made by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) which showed evident deceleration in the economic activity of the country due to the increase in the unemployment rate. Many experts fear that this dilemma will surely lead to UK’s second recession.  Even property expert Rick Otton warns that the declining economy  will lead to property price cuts.

“It’s actually a snowball effect. A weak economy is characterized by an increase in unemployment. With more people getting laid off, the lesser the buying power. Now sellers are forced to cut prices just to accommodate the few qualified buyers,” Mr. Otton said.

The report said that the growth in the unemployment rate is affecting the whole Eurozone, including advanced economies like Spain, UK and Germany. The report also forecasted the joblessness to increase up to 9pc next year, which is the highest record so far.

“A lot of people are either losing their job or getting wage cuts. If this problem continues and the government doesn’t do something about this, this uncertainty in the job market  will surely drag down prices of properties for sale,” he said.

Mr. Otton also added that with the job market in a sensitive state, the banks will be less willing to lend money for purchasing property.

“One of the main aspects the bank looks into when it comes to loan is job security. So It’s hard to acquire loans today because of the unstable job market. How can you pay if you’re not employed? This is the reason why investors and home buyers are looking into the possibilities ofcreative real estate,” Mr. Otton explained.

“My strategies have helped a lot of people become successful in the property market through alternative lease options,” he said. Mr. Otton has been teaching his students—more than 30,000 to this day, how to purchase properties with no banks loans and with as little cash as possible.

Rick Otton shares his strategies by travelling to different countries and conducting real estate seminars where he explains each investment technique through examples and actual deals. The students also get to interact and share experiences among themselves, which is a very effective teaching method.

“This is a good opportunity for the youth, especially the unemployed, to gain financial freedom in the midst of our weak economic conditions. Unemployment is forecasted to rise in the coming years and it would be a good chance to start a career in real estate investment,” he added.

Not Too Late: Baja’s Famous Whale Watching Now at its Height

Thanks to La Niña, more “Friendlies” will remain in Baja until mid-April 2012.

San Ignacio Lagoon, Baja California Sur, Mexico (March 8, 2012 — Ecotourism-Newswire.com)

Each year, gray whales migrate thousands of miles, from northern Alaska to Baja. It is the longest migration of mammals on earth. And this year, it is still going strong. The Sea of Cortez has also filled with blue, humpback, Bryde’s, and pilot whales – 2/3 of marine mammal species call this sea home in the spring.

In the shallow, protected waters of three Pacific lagoons, the gray whales congregate to mate, give birth, and — in the case of “the friendlies” — interact with curious travelers.

February is often thought as peak season for whale watching. However, the whales do not migrate all at once; there is a steady stream of whales heading south in December. This year La Niña has created cooler water temperatures, and more whales are going farther south and staying longer in the sub-tropical areas. Thanks to the favorable conditions, the San Ignacio Lagoon has seen a record breaking number of grays this season. The migration north typically begins in February with the single whales leaving first; the mothers and babies stay long into April.

About “The Friendlies”: whales seeking the company of humans

San Ignacio Lagoon is the acknowledged “home of the friendlies.” For 30 years now, the whales here have seemed to actively seek out human contact. Mother whales wintering here appear to teach their babies to approach human visitors. This is not a staged experience performed by captive whales. These are free, wild whales who play with humans by choice.

Baja is the only place in the world where whales are known to exhibit this behavior. It is because of the “friendlies” that Baja Expeditions’ head naturalist Jose Sanchez calls San Ignacio Lagoon “the most magical place on the planet to see gray whales.” Sanchez says people love the intimate feeling of connection they experience when visiting the whales in this, the smallest and most conservatively-protected of the three lagoons.

A close encounter with a friendly whale can be a life-changing experience. “Whale Watching in Baja” is a featured journey in author Patricia Schultz’s book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. Schultz recommends Baja Expeditions as “the only operator to use,” praising the company’s naturalist guides, small groups, seasoned crews and local chefs.

SIDE BAR: HOW TO TAKE THIS TRIP YOURSELF

Baja Expeditions organizes premier whale watching trips that start and end in San Diego’s Old Town. These multi-day trips include a charter flight direct to the lagoon, making transportation simple and convenient.

Guests are picked up by a luxury shuttle in San Diego, and flown in a 14 passenger Cessna Caravan from Tijuana (Click to see video of border crossing) to the lagoon. In San Ignacio, guests stay in sturdy waterfront cabanas or safari-style tents. Guests enjoy three full days of twice-daily excursions into the whale watching area, delicious meals, and happy hours beneath a star-studded night sky.

Dates available: March 10-14, 14-18 and 18-22nd. Prices have been discounted from $2395 to $2150/person. Call to ask about custom trips from now through mid-April.

San Ignacio Lagoon, a part of the Vizcaino Biosphere Reserve, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993. This designation protects not only the gray whales, but also seals, blue whales, sea turtles, and many species of birds and terrestrial animals and plants. There are 890 World Heritage sites worldwide, from Stonehenge to the Serengeti.

Accolo CEO Explains How to Turn Your Company into a Hiring Machine at Marin Business Forum Meeting March 22

Quarterly Event Gives Marin Business Professionals an Opportunity to Network and Share Insights on Best Business Practices.

LARKSPUR, Calif. (March 8, 2012) — Need to find the best talent? Need help prioritizing your “hiring intelligence”? Or want to re-spark your employees’ work ethics? If so, join the Marin Business Forum (http://www.marinbusinessforum.com) on March 22nd for its quarterly networking event where the featured guest speaker will be John Younger, President and CEO of Accolo, the leading Cloud Recruiting company. At the next Forum gathering, Younger will explain how to “Turn Your Company into a Hiring Machine.” The networking event will take place at the Wood Island Office Complex, 80 East Sir Francis Drake Blvd. in Larkspur at 5:00 p.m., and will give local Marin professionals an opportunity to meet one another and make business connections.

The highlight of the event will be Younger’s presentation on staffing strategies in a tight economy. For more than 23 years, John’s experience and passion has been to dramatically improve how companies find quality employees, and drawn from his deep understanding of technology, the recruitment process and a core belief that everyone deserves courtesy and respect. He will address effective strategies that work for small businesses with limited staffing and human resources capabilities, and how SMBs can identify and hire the perfect candidate to meet their needs.

“When there is an economic crunch, effective hiring becomes more of a challenge because the pool of qualified candidates suddenly becomes much larger,” Younger said. “It’s harder to sift through the applications to find the right candidate for your needs. I want to show attendees at the Marin Business Forum how to identify their real staffing needs and refine their search to uncover the right candidates without having to wade through a mountain of resumes.”

In addition to Younger’s presentation, there will be wine and appetizers, as well as time to mingle with other local Marin professionals and entrepreneurs to exchange ideas.

“Unique to Marin, Marin Business Forum provides informal networking opportunities with small local business owners and decision makers – a great way to expand your business network!” said John Thornton, Partner with Tregaron Capital after his experience from the last event.

The Marin Business Forum was the brain child of Pacific Crest Group (http://www.pcg-services.com), Filice (http://www.filice.com), and Cypress Partners (http://www.cypresspart.com), who pooled their expertise to create a networking group to give local entrepreneurs and professionals a chance to meet one another and make new business connections. This event is to provide expert guidance, education and inspiration to take back to the office and concentrate on core business strategies for growth and expansion.
