So you want to make money from home. Maybe you just lost your job or you know a job loss is coming. Maybe you are expecting an addition to your family and want to spend more time at home. Whatever the reason, you have decided that making money from home is the best course of action for you and your family. Here are some guidelines and tips to get you going in the right direction.

Don’t ever give anyone money in consideration for a job.

Think about it. If you went to a traditional employer and filled out an application for a job, you wouldn’t expect them to ask you for a fee to process your application, would you? The same thing goes for work at home opportunities. The first time you hear someone asking you for money, simply say, “Thank you, but no thank you,” and go on to the next thing. There are a lot of con artists out there who are anxious to take money from people who are trying to make money from home. Be cautious.

Pick a money making opportunity that fits with your family’s lifestyle.

If you have small kids, it might not be the best idea for you to take a customer service type job as those require you to be on the phone for long periods of time. You also have to have a quiet environment to work in which is almost impossible to accomplish with small children. That’s just one example of a mismatched opportunity.  Read more...

Tip #17 in our series of 70 ways to save money when buying a house is to never tell your agent the top price you will pay for a house.

In our last tip, I explained to you the importance of having your own real estate agent on your side. And if you are going to but property you should have an agent on your side, especially if it does not cost you anything.

But, your agent is human, and there is no way to tell if he/she has your best interest in mind. The higher the price of the house you buy, and the more you pay, the larger the commission for your agent. So if the agent was selfish, she would try to get you to pay as much as possible. She wants you to buy the most expensive house you looked at because if you buy it, it will be the largest commission for her.

By pushing you just a little bit towards the more expensive house, she will make a few hundred dollars more. Not bad for a few seconds of work.

Or say you are negotiating with the sellers, and your agent knows you can pay more than you are offering. Will she be able to go in to the sellers and really sell them on the offer? Probably not.

That is why I suggest you never tell your agent or any real estate agent how much you can pay for a property.  Read more... (537 words, 1 image, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)
