Financial Modelingis essential for making decisions to acquire, keep or sell investment real estate. The central aim is to provide a framework evaluating options and risks. Financial modeling is also utilized for decisions regarding material capital expenditures and leases. Financial modeling is used regularly by operating businesses to make a variety of decisions. Properties with multiple complex leases particularly benefit from the use of complex software such as Argus to evaluate the effect of leases terminating and being renewed overtime. Financial modeling is also used to evaluate complex iterative scenarios with multiple options.

Research and analysis for the subject property or business, industry and submarket is the first step in preparing a financial model. The financial analyst reviews three to 10 years of historical data including both revenue and expenses, with as much detail as possible.

(In many cases, 30 to 100 line items of expenses are analyzed.) “Spreading the data” provides insights into typical levels of revenue and expenses and anomalous data points. Industry data such as IREM and BOMA for real estate provides additional context for evaluating whether historical expenses are typical, low or excessive. There are similar industry data reports for a variety of businesses, organized by SIC code.

Research and analysis regarding the current status and health of the market and probable future prospects for the market are the next step in preparing a financial model. For real estate, data such as occupancy rates, rental rate trends, economic vacancy, properties under construction in the metropolitan area, properties under construction in the submarket, proposed construction in the metropolitan area, proposed construction in the submarket, and likely trends for operating expenses are considered in developing a financial model. Similar financial model research is performed for operating businesses to gain insights into current and future trends.

The financial model considers both historical data and research regarding the current health and outlook for the market. The conclusion is summarized in a presentation of probable future cash flows. In some financial models, multiple scenarios are prepared to address the possible impact of uncertain material influences. Analysis of the cash flows often includes calculations of net present value or internal rates of return (IRR).

Financial Aid

As the economy worsens, students are scrambling to find extra money to finance college expenses. In times past students were able to supplement tuition and expenses by working jobs while attending schools.

Any student determined to find scholarships will have their efforts rewarded with extra finances for their education. This money is not a loan and does not have to be paid back.It seems everyday we hear horror story about the rising costs of college tuition, books, room and board.

Scholarships and grants ensure that the cost of studies beyond high school are covered along with additional expenses. Of course, in order to locate a grant for minority students, one must first understand what they are and why they are so helpful.

Many times a student will need to get a student loan in order to help pay for their education.

Student loans can help students pay for their tuition,Financial aid is able to help put a student through college when the student has limited funds to pay for it themselves.

There are those who love to cry and moan about the cost of education. They lament that getting even a two year degree will put them into debt for years. College scholarships for single mothers are truly a big help nowadays. This is a way to improve their life despite hardships that they encounter.

Still, many adults hear scary talk about going deep in debt to finance that education. That only happens if they take out college loans.It’s very likely you don’t want to know about more expenses because what you really need is money. Your budget is restricted to the max.

It’s a type of health care that mystifies and confuses the common public to no end.

Barely over 100 years old,If you’re an adult considering going back to school or continuing work toward a traditional or online degree, you might have good reason to do so.

So many mothers are so focused on making enough money just to feed their children and get them the education they need. Going to college can be quite an expense and that’s why getting scholarships for college courses can really help. Scholarships help a student pay for their tuition, which can take a huge load off when applying for school and trying to come up with the money all by themselves.

Financial Theory (ECON 251) This lecture gives a brief history of the young field of financial theory, which began in business schools quite separate from economics, and of my growing interest in the field and in Wall Street. A cornerstone of standard financial theory is the efficient markets hypothesis, but that has been discredited by the financial crisis of 2007-09. This lecture describes the kinds of questions standard financial theory nevertheless answers well. It also introduces the leverage cycle as a critique of standard financial theory and as an explanation of the crisis. The lecture ends with a class experiment illustrating a situation in which the efficient markets hypothesis works surprisingly well. 00:00 – Chapter 1. Course Introduction 10:16 – Chapter 2.

Financial Doctor

Certified Financial Planner The Financial Doctor

Scene I

Mr. Deep is experiencing regular bouts of stomach disorder. He schedules an appointment with a doctor. At the end of a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed him of minor Colon disorder and prescribed 400 milligram of Collaspa. But Deep isn’t too happy with the prescription as the doctor in the soap he watches on TV had prescribed 250 milligram of Collaspa to cure his patient with similar symptoms. He conveyed the reel-life experience to his real life doctor. Now what will this doctor do?

Well, the doctor probably won’t physically humiliate him or throw him out of his chamber, but rest assured he will firmly tell his disobedient patient, who the true professional is in this case.

Watch out for Scene no II

Mr. Ravi has surplus money parked in his bank Fixed Deposit.

He is looking at an option to earn better returns on his money and came to visit a Financial Advisor. After necessary diagnosis of his risk profile, his Financial Advisor suggests him combination of suitable mutual fund schemes. But Ravi has other ideas, he got a tip from his friend that Share (an ultra small cap) stock will double in a couple of months time and so he suggests that the Financial Advisor should arrange for buying this hot stock instead of the recommended products. What will the Advisor do now?

This above instances (Advisors dilemma) is not one off but frequently happens in our own Financial Services industry. Clients come to us or shall I say, Advisor visits client and meets them in a typically non-professional atmosphere. Clients wish to discuss investment based on the advice they read in a newspaper, magazine or tips they got from their friend or family.

And unfortunately Advisors actually engage in the discussion. Why?

The primary reason behind such behavior is the belief that the client will go elsewhere if he do not entertain the discussion. Is this view actually true?

Man is a product of his thoughts

All our beliefs evolve from the experience which we come across in our own life or are shared with us by someone we trust. Traditional product-centric sales training have spun a lot of such beliefs that are held sacred in the financial services industry. Advisors are tutored that the client is always right and we have to impress clients with our charm, the history of the company we represent & our knowledge of the product. Think back to the doctor analogy. To what proportion, you think a patient takes into account the doctors charm & ability to amuse; the history of the company whose medicine he is prescribing or his technical knowledge about the medicines. In most case, the answer is to a very limited extent because that knowledge is not at all important to the patient. What he actually cares is that whether he can trust the doctor to help him to overcome his physical suffering. Similarly, your clients are looking for professionals and not Industrial Salesman, someone they can trust & who can help them with their financial health.

The second interesting aspect of sales training is the teaching it imparts on the ways to overcome objections. Why do you think client raise an objection? Is it because they suspect that the advisor is behaving more like a salesman rather than as a trusted professional? We all have the same reaction to anyone who is trying to sell us something: we tend to become defensive as we sense the salesman is trying to do something for his own benefit rather than for our good. Instead, if you create an environment that is so professional and client-centric that your clients immediate sense that their interests are the only subject of the whole appointment, there is no reason for an objection.

A True Professional

So what shall we do to demonstrate ourselves as a true professional rather than a product provider. The list below suggests some of the practices which can make us a really trusted professional. This list is indicative & not exhaustive:

We should focus on the best interest of our clients. The whole object of our engagement is primarily to improve the financial health of the client rather than on what products or services we can offer them. We should help our clients to identify their goals and the values upon which those goals are based so you can recommend solutions that offer them the highest probability of achieving them. Communicate to the clients the true facts of their financial situation, even when digesting the facts seems difficult. They deserve the truth & we need to tell it them even if we fear that it may cost us the relationship. This will pay rich dividends in the longer run. Work by appointment only. This will establish the value of your time as well as your clients time. Ideally an Advisor should invite his clients at his office and not sit in a public place or at clients home. Working in a controlled, professional environment will impress on the minds of the client the seriousness of the activity he is doing as well help you to provide the best services possible. Maintain general professional skills while concentrating on areas of expertise . Consult/Refer with/to specialists (a specialist may be a CA, Lawyer, Insurance Expert) in suitable cases.

There can be a host of interesting possibilities, if you are willing to switch from being only product providers and embrace comprehensive financial planning in a professional manner: you will notice client objections will disappear and be replaced by trust; you will discover newer sets of financial needs and additional assets, which might be used to achieve them. Because of the high-trust relationships that will eventually be established; you will command more respect & your clients will follow your advice; they will enthusiastically refer qualified prospects to you because they would like to share such an outstanding experience with their family and friends, just as you would refer your family and friends to an extraordinary doctor.

Together if we continuously thrive to evolve our services & improve on our deliverables, we will be recognized as hardcore professionals in financial services. It is therefore my humble request to all of you to work towards the goal of establishing yourself as a true.

Umbrella Insurance

20 Comments

Your auto insurance policy has a limit. So does your home insurance policy. Limits may sound confining because they limit the insurance company’s liability in claims that affect your car or home, but they also benefit you because they limit your premium. After all, if you had unlimited liability from the insurance company, the premiums they would have to charge in order to stay in business would be outrageous. But some individuals want a little extra insurance – more than their regular insurance policies offer. Those individuals can choose to add an umbrella policy to their insurance arsenal.
What is an umbrella insurance policy?

An umbrella policy is not like a different kind of insurance plan, but simply a liability policy that stretches out over the limits of your existing home insurance or auto insurance policy. And like an umbrella protects its carrier from the coming rainfall, an umbrella insurance policy protects policyholders from the claims of individuals that exceed the limits of their underlying home insurance or auto insurance policies. You don’t need a separate umbrella insurance policy for both home and auto coverage – one umbrella policy extends protection for claims under each policy.
How does it work?

Having a pool can be a lot of fun, but it can also bring a lot of liability to a home owner’s doorstep. If one of your friends or neighbors is visiting your home and is injured while swimming in or walking around your pool, it could result in a very large claim against your home insurance policy (depending on the nature and extent of the damages suffered). For the sake of this example, let’s say that you have a home insurance policy with limits of 0,000. Your children’s friends come over one afternoon to enjoy the pool and one of them slips and falls in, resulting in a neck injury and partial temporary disability that creates a need for several years’ worth of physical therapy and surgery in order for that person to walk again. This could result in a liability claim of million or more – but your home insurance will only pay up to 0,000. The rest of the claim is your responsibility to pay – unless you have an umbrella policy. If you did, the umbrella policy would pay the remaining 0,000 due and you would not have to sell your home or dip into your personal assets to pay the claim. The example would work the same way if your automobile was the cause of the injury rather than the pool.

Because umbrella policies are not required by law, it is up to you whether or not you have one. When you consider the damage to your finances and your future that a single liability claim could have, you might find that the additional protection of an umbrella policy covering your home and auto is just enough to help you sleep easier at night.

Its about economy of scale. When you sign up for healthcare coverage, you join a group of other people to combine your healthcare purchasing power. Your insurer covers the whole group, rather than individuals, so everyone shares the cost of staying healthy.-Stay Smart Stay HealthyStay Smart Stay Healthy was created by Edward Batchelor at Humana Inc. as a new-media venture designed to deliver guidance, and to support awareness and understanding of the healthcare industry. His goal was simple: to educate consumers on the healthcare system by removing the usual complexities and replacing them with an informative and engaging series of videos.

Health Insurance.

Health insurance is just like other insurance forms. It is an insurance form of collectivism, which allows people to bring the risks, in this case the risk associated with costs of illness. This collective form is usually owned publicly or otherwise organized non-profit people of the pool, although in a few countries, health insurance policies can also manage non-profit organizations. It is sometimes used in the broadest sense of insurance covering disability or long-term care or custodial care needs. It can provide a program sponsored by the government social security or private insurance companies. It can be purchased as a group (for example, a study to cover the employees), or buy individual.

In any case, groups or individuals to cover the tax payment or tax, help protect against unexpected costs of health care. Alike benefits paying for some medical allowances may also be through social programs funded by the general government.

In assessing the risk of health and care costs, a usual financial structure may be developed to ensure that funds are available to pay for health services, as defined in the insurance contract. Benefit administered by the central, such as government agencies, private companies or non-profit organization.

Health insurance policy is an insurance contract and the person or his sponsor (e.g. an employer). The health contract may be again renewed yearly or monthly. The type and amount of health spending, which will be covered by health insurance company is informed in advance of the States, or Evidence cover booklet. Obligations of the insured person may take various forms.

Accident insurance is given by the employer and generally covering all risks to get to work and the workplace. Long Term Care covered half and half by the employer and the employee and includes cases where a person is incapable of managing their daily activities (feeding, cleaning the apartment, personal hygiene, etc.). It is about 2% of wage income or pension, with employers paying employer contributions: There are two distinct systems of health care National Health Service and private insurance. Both systems are struggling with rising medical costs and demographic change. Approximately 87.5% of people with health insurance are members of the public system, while 12.5% are covered by private insurance (since 2006).

Liability Insurance

There are so many accidents people can have with their cars in daily life, in these cases liability insurance is beneficial to the user. In comparation between liability insurance and car insurance, liability insurance is compulsory giving more complete services than car insurance. In those cases, the insurance company would cover a percentage of the damages done to the person. The compensation for damages done to property is less significant. There are some services offered: travel assistance, legal support and driver’s insurance.

In Spain driving insurance is compulsory and required by law. This has been done to avoid further problems when car accidents happen. For instance, liability insurance would cover a third party in case of an accident. Auto Insurance is highly important because even if the responsible for the accident claims bankruptcy, the third party involved will be compensated by the insurance company.

Auto insurance covers the driver of the vehicle from the damages that may be caused to third party drivers and their property.

This type of insurance covers the liability of the driver and the vehicle owner. This means that any person who drives will be covered even if it someone else is driving the vehicle. But if the driver is younger than 25 years and has a driver’s license that expired two years ago the insurance company may reduce the compensation if an incident occurs.

Some countries, like Spain, require liability insurance by law. This means that in order to drive your car you need to have it. This insurance guarantees that the insured will pay, through the insurance company, for the damage done to a third party.

Advantages: the insurance company pays for property and personal damage with the compensation limits set by law.

Nevertheless, liability insurance does not cover what happens to the car of the insured in the accident.

Who buys only Auto insurance? Those who have an impeccable driving record and are convinced they have little chance of an accident. Generally, they look for insurance that is not very expensive and that covers third parties in case of accident. If you buy a new vehicle, this insurance will not be enough because liability insurance does not give protection for the damages caused to your own car.

Liability insurance will not give coverage if the insured was involved in an accident while under the influence of alcohol or drugs or if the car was stolen.
