On household management and finances?

08 Jun

Should I give in and hire domestic help for the other house, or should I look at renting it out, even if it causes damage and prevents me from selling for at least two years, as I want to offer a two-year lease? I might offer a chance to break it more easily or for a simple sublet? Should I take care of it myself?

I am quite happy with the cabin but I don’t want a burden on my financial portfolio, what with the other condo. There is a two percent property tax I could defer till retirement and possibly till death when the amount is taken off the estate. I could also lease it for two years, then sell and pay the money. However, I am worried about a drop in real estate prices as the base-selling price average is dropping? What should I do? I don’t use it that much, it is more of a storage space, but we hardly have room here. I suppose we could have a garage sale, but my wife is a packrat.

Do you have any advice about the management of several properties?

asset management, under 75K?

03 Jun

Hi. What happening is that I openned an account with North Fork Bank asset management a few years ago. They manage your portfolio for you (buying and selling mutual funds as they go up and down) and collect a commision every quarter. Unfortunately Captial one took over them and is closing this service :-(

What was great about them was the fact that you needed only 50K at the time to open such account which is simply super.

Does anybody know of any asset management service that does help peeps like me (50K-75K) ? Most of them won’t even talk to you unless you bring 500,000 or more to the table.

I appreciate it guys. Thanks

Starting an Asset Management Company

30 May

I want to get your opinion about how I can quit my job asap. I read the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” long time ago and agree that the way to have freedom is to have tangible assets working for you.

I am a stock broker (Investment Advisor) in Canada and am pretty happy about my job. The problem is income would stop if I am not in my office. I want to be away from work and still make money.

I think one of the ways is to start my own Asset Management Company. This way I can generate funds that could pay me money even if I am not there to manage it.

What do you think? Do you have similar thoughts? Do you know where I can get a blue print/business plan of an Asset Management company?

Barriers:

I have a market neutral trading strategy that works already. The problem is I need to be a licensed portfolio manager to start an Asset Management Company in Canada. I need the securities commission to approve my trading strategy and I need initial start up fund to start it. I think I am looking at around 3 million USD for start up fund.

Sorry for not being clear. I am looking to raise 3 million for operation. I’d like to raise at least 50 million for the first fund.

Some of my friends ask me to audit my trades first. Hire an experienced management team with my own capital and then look for angel investors.

My goal is to host my personal webdesign portfolio. I need to have this features: a blog, a CMS to help me organize the content (I can read some code but I’m not a programmer), a photo gallery, RSS feeds.

I need a CMS (open source) and host (budget= $10/month) that are easy to use and have a lot of features.

Please give me the names and tell me why they are better than others.

Has anyone had any experience with Maxwell Sinclair Model Management? Is it a reputable agency?

07 May

They’ve said that I have potential for plus size modeling but will need training and will need to start a portfolio. I need to know whether this is a legitimate agency or if they’re just looking to make money.

Has anyone heard of Model Management NYC? They seem legit, but want $1695 to do my portfolio…?

02 May

I know that getting professional photos isnt cheap… BUT I do have what it takes to model, in fact, I have in the past. I just thought that 1695 was pretty steep to get my shoot/portfolio/com cards etc. updated. I dont really have anything professional thats current. Any thoughts out there?

Financial management homework question, dealing with Portfolio Beta’s…?

01 May

Suppose you held a diversified portfolio consisting of a $7500 investment in each of 20 different common stocks. The portfolio’s beta is 1.12. Now suppose you decided to sell one of the stocks in your portfolio with a beta of 1.0 for $7500 and to use these proceeds to buy another stock with a beta of 1.75. What would your portfolio’s new beta be?
I know that the answer is 1.16 but have no idea how to go about working the problem to get the answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the best way to start your own personal asset management company?

26 Apr

I am considering starting an “asset management company”, most likely under a LLC status. But I want it to be my own assets. I would like to purchase (for rent) small homes, condos and/or townhouses and then eventually diversify the portfolio to mutual funds, stocks, bonds, franchises, etc. Adding my own money and any profits from the rentals. Is it a good idea to put it under an LLC? Would this even be considered an asset management company? An advice or tips is appreciated.
