Stiff Competition for Cheap Car Insurance Customers

Cheap Car Insurance – Three Ways of Obtaining the Lowest Rates

Providence, RI — (SBWIRE) — 01/28/2013 — For people who are looking to save money on their monthly bills, cheap car insurance is one way to cut the expenses while still getting the auto coverage needed. There are a number of ways to obtain the best car insurance rates, but as with any endeavor to save money there may be some other type of sacrifice needed.

For those who want the cheapest car insurance quotations, the first step is examining the policy that they have and answering a few simple questions.

- What is the required insurance on my vehicle?
- What is my deductible?
- Is there any information that is outdated?

If you have taken out an auto loan that is still being paid, then comprehensive insurance is needed so that the lender is covered in case your vehicle needs repairs or is “totaled”. The state you live in will also have requirements as well, so bear that in mind when considering what type of car insurance to select.

Knowing the deductible is also important as this gives you some wiggle room and finally check to see if any information on your insurance no longer applies. For example, if someone else was under your insurance that could drive the car and no longer does, then taking them off the policy might save you money.

Raise Your Deductible

One way to save money on your insurance is by raising the deductible. The deductible is the money that you must pay on repairs first before the insurance company. For example, if you have a $500 deductible, then any repair on the vehicle requires you to pay the first $500 before the insurance company pays one dime.

Obviously, the higher the deductible, the more money you will pay out of your pocket if your vehicle needs repairs. This is a risk that many motorists take when they raise their deductible, but for many the rewards of having a lower insurance bill can be worth the sacrifice.

Real Estate News Shows Market is Bouncing Back

In Las Vegas’ real estate market, short sales have become the norm

Short Sales in Las Vegas

Short Sales in Las Vegas

If you want to buy a house in Las Vegas, be prepared to be patient.

Short sales, which can take up to a year or longer to close, have soared to record levels in the valley. They now account for almost half of all home sales and show no signs of slowing.

In a short sale, lenders agree to sell a house for less than what’s owed on the mortgage. Buying one typically involves mountains of paperwork, repeated phone calls with bankers, back-and-forth letters with sellers and other seemingly endless frustrations.

The rising short-sale rate comes amid plunging sales of foreclosed homes, which once were a big source of local inventory. But just because short sales now dominate the market, it doesn’t mean they’ve become any faster to process.

It still can take six months to a year — if not longer — to complete a deal.

Las Vegas broker Beth Ellyn Rosenthal of eXp Realty said short sales now comprise 70 percent of her deals. She tells clients that buying a house is a roller coaster ride, but if they’re patient, they’ll eventually close the sale.

“It’s a torturous process,” she said.

Smaller banks that have paperwork in order can complete a short sale in as little as 30 days, Elite Realty agent Kolleen Kelley said. But in general, short sales take much longer. More typically, they get bogged down when third parties like second mortgage lenders or mortgage insurers have to sign off on the deal.

The real estate market has come a long way towards recovery since the desperate days of 2009. As we see, even MBAs are getting back into the game. The real estate numbers are looking much better, from improving sales of new homes, to housing starts, to first time home buyer activity, to national totals of real estate transactions. All in all, real estate looks to do well in 2013.

Real Estate Training Is Hot for MBAs

Forget about the housing crash—real estate is a hot new growth area for business schools.

Last week, Rutgers Business School announced the creation of a $3 million endowed chair in real estate in anticipation of getting an MBA concentration off the ground in 2014. Why? Demand.

“Real estate will continue to be a major facet of business, with its own unique characteristics,” says Darius Palia, a finance professor at Rutgers who grapples with the housing meltdown and subprime lending crisis in his classes. “There’s a lot of demand in the marketplace for people trained in real estate techniques. There are a lot of companies looking for people with that sort of training.”

In recent months, schools around the world have announced new real estate initiatives at the graduate and undergraduate level, including new degree programs, concentrations, and certificate programs. In May the University of Miami business school announced an accelerated MBA program with a concentration in real estate. A few months later Portland State admitted the inaugural class for a new master’s program in real estate development. About 15 percent of business schools surveyed last year by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business reported having graduate and undergraduate degree programs with an emphasis on real estate, including MBA concentrations. That number has risen by more than 30 percent in the last decade.

What do the latest real estate numbers mean?

When I asked Jim Smith about the latest office and industrial MarketView numbers from CBRE, he initially pegged himself as the “local cynic.”

“What happens from a quarter-to-quarter and month-to-month basis doesn’t really mean anything,” he said. “This market is so small. If you want to take Denver, Dallas and Phoenix, the smallest of those is about six times larger than Albuquerque. So, if you have one tenant moving into a 40,000-square-foot space, it will affect [all the numbers].”

• New ways to raise money. A few months ago, Congress passed the JOBS Act, an acronym for Jumpstart Our Business Startups, enabling entrepreneurs to raise up to $1 million from the general public and not just wealthy, “accredited” investors, as has been the law.

This is intended to enable companies to use fundraising platforms such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Fundable to launch startups or new products.

Small-business owners need plans, too

Small business owners tend not to have retirement plans at work, but that doesn’t mean that owners don’t have assets earmarked for retirement.

Or least so says two Small Business Administration research reports that focused on small business owners and their retirement plans: “Retirement, Recessions and Older Small Business Owners” and “Financial Viability and Retirement Assets: A Look at Small Business Owners and Private Sector Workers.”

The first study looked at how well older small business owners are prepared for retirement, and how well they fare during recessions compared to employees in the same age group.
