The mortgage brokering business is one of the fastest growing occupations in America today, yet the financial success rate for these new brokers is dismal. It is estimated that less than 30 percent of new mortgage brokers ever become financially successful.

You will learn how NOT to make the big mistakes most new brokers make, how to put a loan package together, how to find borrowers, how and what to charge, how to guarantee your fee, how to make buyers and sellers happy, and how to quickly and easily locate the best deals for your customers. Additionally, this book provides you with information on licensing and exam fees, the expenses of doing business, your vehicle and insurance coverage, sales techniques, simple methods to get hundreds of referrals, software programs that make running your business effortless, the private mortgage segment, the commercial market, secrets to using the Internet, realtors, online tools and ideas, mortgage technology tips, Internet leads, building partnerships, and much more.

We also spent thousands of hours interviewing, e-mailing, and communicating with hundreds of today's most successful mortgage brokers.

The Complete Guide to Investing in Commodity Trading and Futures: How to Earn High Rates of Returns Safely

Many people have become very rich in the commodity markets. It is one of a few investment areas where an individual with limited capital can make extraordinary profits in a relatively short period of time. Commodities are agreements to buy and sell virtually anything that is harvested except onions. (A 1958 federal law prohibits trading onions.) Such goods are raw or partly refined materials whose value mainly reflects the costs of finding or gathering them. They are traded for processing or incorporation into final goods. Examples are crude oil, cotton, rubber, grains, and metals and other minerals. Since it is impractical to transport these bulky, often perishable materials, what is actually traded are commodities futures contracts, or options, that are agreements to buy or sell at an agreed upon price on a specific date. Trading in futures and options is speculative in nature and there is a substantial risk of loss. These investments are not suitable for everyone, and only risk capital should be used.

As with many other business segments, the Internet and technology have opened up this attractive marketplace to a new breed of individual investors and speculators working part-time. You and I can now stand on an even playing field with the largest banks, wealthiest individuals, and trading institutions from the comfort of home.
Commodity trading can provide you with very high, secure rate of return, in some cases as high as 12%, 18%, 24%, or even 300% or more per year. If performed correctly, commodity trading will far outpace all other investments. The key is to know how to perform this process correctly.

This all sounds great, but what is the catch? There really is none, except you must know what you are doing! This groundbreaking and exhaustively researched new book will provide everything you need to know to get you started generating high investment returns from start to finish.

In this easy to read and comprehensive new book you will learn what commodity trading and futures are, how to set up your account online, how to choose software to use in trading, how to invest in commodities, evaluate their performance, and handle fees and taxes. This book explores numbers of investing strategies and tactics, charting techniques, and position trading. You will pick up the language of a trader so that you recognize terminology and know how to use leverage, call options, put options, advancing and declining issues, advancing and declining volume, the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and commodity charts, among others. Like the pros who have been trading commodities for years, you will learn how to pinpoint entry, exits, and targets for your trades, and use insider secrets to help you double or even triple your investment - all while avoiding the common traps and pitfalls.

In addition, we took the extra effort and spent an unprecedented amount of time researching, interviewing, e-mailing, and communicating with hundreds of today's most successful commodity Investors. Aside from learning the basics of commodity and futures trading you will be privy to their secrets and proven successful ideas.

If you are interested in learning essentially everything there is to know about commodity and futures investing in addition to hundreds of tactics, tricks, and tips on how to earn enormous profits in commodity trading while controlling your investments, then this book is for you. • 978-1-60138-003-6

The Hedge Funds Book: How to Invest in Hedge Funds & Earn High Rates of Returns Safely

Money managers have traditionally used hedge funds as they would mutual funds: to pool investors' money and place it in financial instruments in an effort to make a high positive return. Hedge funds have typically been available only to the very affluent or to investors with inside contacts, but today that has changed. Almost any investor can now participate in a hedge fund and earn high returns.
Why should you consider investing in a hedge fund? One reason is simply the high potential returns.

Many funds have earned triple digit returns.

You and I are now on an even playing field with the largest banks, wealthiest individuals, and trading institutions from the comfort of our own homes.

Green Your Home: The Complete Guide to Making Your New or Existing Home Environmentally Healthy

Helping the world go greener can begin with something as simple as changing an ordinary light bulb to a light-emitting diode (LED) bulb. The advantages of these bulbs include lasting much longer, using 1/30th the electricity of an incandescent bulb, having no fragile elements to break, and being cool to the touch. For those who want to make a bigger change by renovating their existing home or building a new "green house," this book is full of thousands of ways to make your home environmentally healthy. This new, groundbreaking book will help people make environmentally friendly home and building supply choices. From recycling to using alternative cleaning materials, minor changes at home can add up to real benefits.

Here are some interesting facts:
The U.S. generates about 208 million tons of municipal solid waste a year, according to the National Institutes of Health. That is more than four pounds per person per day. Every little bit helps; recycling just one glass bottle produces enough electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours.
According to the Energy Star Web site, if just one in ten homes used energy-efficient appliances, it would be equivalent to planting 1.7 million acres of new trees.
Using a broom instead of the garden hose to clean your driveway can save 80 gallons of water, and turning the water off while you brush your teeth will save 4.5 gallons every time.
Each person will receive almost 560 pieces of junk mail this year, which adds up nationally to 4.5 million tons, according to the Native Forest Network. About 44 percent of all junk mail is thrown in the trash, unopened and unread, and ends up in a landfill.
Each year, Americans throw away some 100 billion polyethylene plastic bags - from grocery and trash bags to those ultra-convenient sandwich bags. Unfortunately, plastics are made from petroleum - the processing and burning of which is considered one of the main contributors to global warming, according to the EPA.
American households use 80 million pounds of pesticides each year, according to the EPA.

Greening your home simply means finding things you can do around the house to reduce your impact on the planet. Things that green your home usually make it a safer and healthier place to live in as well; this new book will present thousands of low or no cost ways to make your home environmentally friendly.

You will learn 101 things you can do today to help save the planet. If you are building a new home these include how to locate a green-friendly architect and contractor, using energy-efficient appliances, using renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind, selecting earth-friendly products and materials, installing energy-efficient windows and skylights, and planting a green roof. Other great, environmentally friendly tips and tricks include stopping electronic waste and junk mail, non-toxic paints and stains, eco-friendly flooring, kitchen, and bath supplies, earth-friendly weed-killers, citrus pest killer, organic soils, compost, and fertilizers, and even plants that reduce indoor air pollution, rain barrels, smart sprinklers, water efficiency, tankless water heaters, energy efficiency, tax credits for earth friendly choices, environmentally friendly landscaping, plantings, fertilizers, and mulch.
We dissected your house, looking for easy (but not always obvious) ways that homeowners can conserve energy and water - and money at the same time. Here is an example: Replace just five of your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs (which use two-thirds less energy, generate 70 percent less heat, and last up to ten times longer), and you will save an estimated $35 to $65 a year in energy costs. You will also learn about the award-winning Caroma "dual-flush" toilet from Australia, an eco-friendly toilet whose half- and full-flush modes can save more than 65 percent of your toilet's annual water usage. There are hundreds of other great suggestions in this new and up-to-date book that will make your home greener simply and quickly.  978-1-60138-128-6  1-60138-128-X  $24.95  9781601381286
