Driving up to Seagram’s Four Roses distillery makes you feel strangely like Warren Gates at the start of Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. This bizarre lemon-coloured confection of a Mexican-style ranch seems incongruous with Kentucky’s gentle rolling grasslands and tree-lined hollows. Thankfully, master distiller Jim Rutlege is more hospitable than the patriarch in Sam Peckinpah’s violent film classic.

This is the last remaining Kentucky outpost of the mighty Seagram empire: in fact, until the firm’s Lawrenceburg plant in Indiana reopened it was the only Seagram distillery in the United States – stark evidence of the decline that beset the American whiskey market from the 1970s. That hasn’t stopped Jim making a pretty classy whiskey at Four Roses, with ‘pretty’ being the operative word.

It’s a given that every distiller has his or her own technique, but Four Roses stands apart from its colleagues in Kentucky. Perhaps it is Seagram’s Canadian roots showing through, but no other distillery in the state makes such a range of different base whiskies.

With five yeast strains being used on the two mashbills-one with 75 per cent corn, the other with only 60 per cent-Jim has 10 subtly different whiskies to blend into the Four Roses style. When you drop in different distilling strengths and different ages you’ve got a pretty complex package of flavours.

‘We feel that you get most of the flavour from the small grains,’ says Jim. ‘In our case that means rye and some malted barley.’ He then explains that, contrary to popular belief, bourbon-makers don’t use malted barley solely for its enzymes, but for flavour and another little-known property. ‘Malt does two things,’ he says. ‘There’s the enzyme conversion which begins to break down starch molecules and change them into soluble and therefore fermentable, sugars, and also liquefies the corn slurry by breaking down its molecular structure’.

Jim therefore adds malted barley twice during cooking (mashing). First, the corn is cooked at a high temperature with some malt, to help liquefy the thick gloop; then the temperature is dropped and rye is added (this stops rye balls forming and cuts down the risk of bacterial infection in the ferment). Then the temperature is reduced once more and the malted barley (along with some backset) is added for its enzyme.

The mention of backset triggers a long and patient explanation about pH levels, consistency and soleras. ‘The backset comes from the bottom of the still and is high in acidity,’ says Jim. ‘It is put into the cooker and the fermenters to get the correct pH. As the ferment proceeds, the pH drops and turns sour.

You know by the smell and taste how far it is advanced. It is science and art combined’. Jim places a priority on careful monitoring of the process, from smelling the grains as they arrive, right through to the end of the distillation – and on to maturation. ‘I’m looking for a rich, sweet aroma from the new spirit,’ he says. ‘

But to do that you need to have built-in good flavours to begin with, and they are first generated in the ferment. You can run a still wrong, but you can’t make your basic material any better’.

Even the maturation is different here; in a single storey palletized warehouse, rather than the traditional racks. But, hey, who is to say what is right and what’s wrong? The end results – the precise, pretty, spicy Yellow Label and the richer, complex Black Label -are bourbons of the first order.

TAST1NG NOTES

Four Roses Yellow Label
Gentle and lightly oaked, with fragrant lemon notes. A great mixer. * * *

Black Label
Firmer and smokier, with hickory wood, honey and a crisp rye-accented finish

If you ask most real estate professionals what their number one business asset is you’ll get a variety of answers.  Some answers may include their office, their listings, their agents or sub-agents, their marketing materials etc.  All of these are good answers but in this humble real estate entrepreneurs opinion they would all be WRONG!  It is my strong belief that an active buyers list is by the most valuable asset to have for your real estate business (when you think about it this probably holds true for any business).  In fact I believe a buyers list is the closest thing to a money machine as there is in the game of real estate. Craigslist Marketing Matrix

Let me give you a couple of examples illustrating my point.  Earlier this week I had a former client call and tell me that he had a rehab property to sell.  I had sold several of his properties for him in the past and so I was the first person he called.  We came to terms and the very first thing I did, before even getting the property on the MLS was I sent it to my own in house buyers list.  Here are the results.  I had 9 people respond to the email in less than 12 hour.  Three of them saw the property the very next day, one came to see the property the day after that and the rest of are seeing it over the weekend.  I already have one offer and will taking other offers through Monday.  This is all before even inputting into the MLS!  See what I mean about a cash machine?

Here is another illustration of how valuable this asset can be to your business.  Do you think have a strong and active buyers list could make a difference in a listing presentation.  You better believe it.  How many other Realtors in your market do you think would be able to make that same claim?  Not many I can assure you.  This immediately makes it a no brainer for that seller to work for you.  In fact just this week I had a seller call me to come take a look at his house.  I went out took a look and went through a presentation.  At the end I asked why he called me.  He said well I am on your buyers list and get your emails and I figured you have a big list of buyers already so it would only make sense to work with you versus someone else without a buyers list.

Let me give you one last reason why a buyers list is a cash machine.  Do you think there are other products and/or services that you have access to that might be of interest to your list?  Absolutely there  are!  Find something that is a fit for your list and offer it out to them.  In fact with this strategy you can make money with your list without selling them a home.  Of course you need to take into account any rules, stipulations or disclosures you must make, but this is a great way to add revenue streams to your business and make money from an asset that you have already built.  Some examples would be home warranties, lawn care, pest removal, radon, contractor services, credit repair services, etc.

If you aren’t building a buyers list, what are you waiting for?  Start building one today.  If you have one keep building your list and your relationship with the list as well as trying to add some revenue streams.

Are you thinking of selling your house in Orlando on your own for sale by owner?

If so, you probably know that trying to sell your Orlando, FL house on your own can be a costly, verifiable nightmare, especially in today’s highly competitive buyer’s market and troubled economy. You probably know what it’s like to have to keep your home cleaned up, month after month, ready to show it at any given time to perfect strangers who probably aren’t qualified to buy your house anyway. In the meantime, you have to continue to make your mortgage payments, pay your taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, home owner dues and other costs while you wait and wait and wait to sell your Orlando house. If you do find a buyer who is interested in purchasing your home, don’t forget that it takes another 45 to 60 days on average for them to get financed. And what if their financing falls through? After all, many buyers in Orlando can no longer get financed, especially in today’s tough economic times and troubled mortgage marketplace. If this happens, you’ll have to start the whole process all over again which is not uncommon.

Are you thinking of hiring a real estate agent to sell your Orlando home quickly?

Selling a house is usually a expensive and complicated process. That’s why real estate agents make such big commissions (often thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars) on a single home sale. And most successful agents in Orlando, FL usually have 5, 20 or 20 houses listed at any given time knowing that these houses will probably sell within the next 3 to 6 months or longer. Since most of the good agents have so many listings, it’s rare that they will spend the time, money and personal attention needed to sell your house quickly. If you don’t have much equity in your home, your home selling options are even more limited. You may have to write a big check at closing in order to sell your Orlando house and cover any negative equity, closing costs, taxes, etc in addition to your agent’s large commission check.

Wealthy home buyers who buy multi-million dollar homes are typically self-made millionaires with new money, according to a recent online survey of 683 Coldwell Banker Previews International property specialists. The study revealed the top professions of these affluent customers. According to the respondents, 88 % of their customers are business or corporate executives, 37 % are physicians, 31 % are lawyers, 30 % are financial professional and 14 % are entertainers, entertainment executives or professional athletes.

Wealthy home buyers require their real estate agents to be equipped with special skills, according to the Coldwell Banker’s survey. Given the magnitude of the financial transactions involved in luxury home purchases, 78 % of sales associates said that the top most need their clients require from their real estate agents is privacy and confidentiality. The luxury customers also want their real estate agents to exercise discretion while dealing with their multi-million dollar transactions. Almost 70 % of respondents polled that their wealthy clients want their real estate professionals to offer customized services while 44 % said that the luxury home buyers want their agents to have good network and work relationship with executive assistants, CPAs and attorneys.

Wealthy home buyers also want their agents to know the inside scoop on the real estate market, according to 36 % of the respondents in the Coldwell Banker’s survey.

If you have been hesitant to obtain your Texas real estate license, there are many who wouldn’t blame you. These days, if you simply open a newspaper or turn on the television, you might think the world is going to end. Now, we are in fact in the middle of a recession, but even though the glass is half empty, it is also half full. For those willing to look past the pessimism to the opportunities, now is great to time to invest in yourself and become a real estate agent.

There are two sides to the current housing market. On one hand, home prices are falling and it’s difficult to sell. Also, an unfortunate amount of people—over 800,000 in 2008—are losing their homes to foreclosure. On the other, it’s a buyers market, and those with available resources are investing. Now is actually an ideal time to become a realtor.

It is truly a buyers market, for a couple of reason. Housing prices are falling nationwide. According to the latest S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, they have fallen on average of 21% from their peak. Now it’s true that the lower that the home price, the lower your commission. But, buyers with the resources to do so are eager to snatch up these properties the lower they go, thus what is lost in quality is made up for in quantity. Even so, realtors in Texas may have it best: falling prices, but not so low that commissions suffer significantly. While the sunbelt has seen prices fall up to 40%, Texas home values on average have decreased by 5.5% in the last year. This looks like the trend for the future, in report by PMI Mortgage Insurance named San Antonio, Houston, Fort Worth and Dallas, among their top ten cities with the lowest risk for lower real estate values in the upcoming year.

There are a huge number of homes going to auction each day, so the opportunities for a wise investor are plentiful. If a home does not sell at auction it is purchased by the lender and put on the market for a traditional sale. Even at this point a buyer will get an incredible deal. Due to the large numbers of homes being foreclosed on each day, there are quite a bit of foreclosed properties on the market. This number is likely to increase. Banks continue to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of properties, and some are deliberately slowing the process so they don’t have to take the markdowns in the books. Either way, it’s estimated thats 70% of the inventory hasn’t even been posted on the MLS yet. Thus, there will be no shortage of these properties in the upcoming year.

If you want to obtain your Texas real estate license there is no time like the present. The Texas Institute of Real Estate can guide you through the process and prepare you for every aspect of your real estate career. Considered the premiere business school for realtors, their courses are offered live, via correspondence, or online. In addition to obtaining your license, you will receive an invaluable education. Learn how to take advantage of the current economy and the opportunities it provides, and gain the know-how and skills necessary to continue to thrive in any environment.

They say that more millionaires were made during the Great Depression than any other time in history. Now, to call the current state of the economy a depression is an exaggeration, and you may not make millions. But the lesson is that resourceful individuals can take advantage of any situation. There are opportunities present in the current housing market, but it’s up to you to seek them out and capitalize on them.

There are many ways to invest your money for profit. You can buy stocks, bonds or some other securities. But buying a home may be a very big investment opportunity for you. It is one of the main means through which many people create wealth for themselves. It may require a big capital outlay in the beginning but once you are able to buy the building outright or get a mortgage going, you are off to a great start in building wealth for yourself. You can buy the home for resale or for rent. If for resale, you can sell the same building for about twice or thrice the amount you bought depending on the location and the time. If you are offering for rent, you can earn a meaningful income on it.
Investing in a home should be done in the same way that you buy stocks. You should do your due diligence and be ale to find out which house and where will get you the best prices. If you intend to sell, they should be appreciating over the years and the locality must be somewhere that a lot of people like.
If you buy a home you enjoy of security that other investment avenues do not provide. If you are going to rent a house, then you may have to quit after sometime if your rent expires. The homeowner may need the building for his own use, so you will have to leave it. So renting poses a threat to the stability of your family or personal self as far as moving and relocating is accented. When you buy your own house and you occupy it, you are assured that you will live there as long as you want without having to be told to quit for repairs or some other reason. Again, if you buy instead of renting, you can be assured that you are not going to pay exorbitant rentals to the homeowner. Some increases can come at a short notice making you feel uncomfortable with the increment.
If you buy your own home, then you will not have to be moving and relocating often. You can be at the same location for as long as you want without thinking of moving. The cost and inconveniences of moving can be very daunting for a person.
If you buy a home, you can be able to pay off the mortgage before you retire. This means you will not be burdened with financial commitments of renting when you are on retirement. At retirement you cannot count so much on income so it will be prudent to buy the house now and then pay off the mortgage so that when you retire you would have had a house to live in without worrying about rent.
As a homeowner you can use your home to take secured loans. This feature can be very handy during times of financial need. This loan can be used to meet some urgent needs and later repaid. It is easier to obtain secured loans with a home. You can have a very large amount of money to solve some needs. The lender would only need to confirm that you are the true owner of the property to obtain the loan.
If you own your home you have the opportunity to use your space as you lie. There are no restrictions as to what you can do and what you cannot do. You do not have to abide by any extensive rules which in many cases are so inconvenient to occupant. Again, a home owner has total control over how to use the property. At worst, he can sell it off to meet some obligations or secure loan and use rent to offset it. This way, he will not be distressed so much during bad times.

Investing in a real estate business is an excellent decision for every individual. Real estate investments have given unexpected returns to all those who have put their money in this sector.
