Real Estate, Probate, and Auctions with Mina Kuper

View on LinkedIn

Greg Dixon talked with Mina Kuper about her extensive range of Real Estate services. We also had some fun side trips in our chat.

Her services include Real Estate, Tax, Probate, Estate Planning, Property Clearing, and Auctions.

Much of the conversation was advice for families navigating through estate planning, probate, and tax considerations.

Like many families, we have aging family members who are looking at coordinating all of these things. It is refreshing to see that Mina Kuper could help with all of it.

The property Auctions are fascinating.

Here are ways to learn more about the services:

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly of Blockchain (Crypto) Investments

Investing in programs that involve blockchain investments in various forms can bring almost unimaginable returns and a high level of risk.

Here is I will offer a few perspectives on why or why not you would consider adding a few blockchain programs to your investment portfolio.

The Good

Kim Walsh Phillips gets people to pledge: “if it is not going to make me money, I am not going to do it.”

Like nearly all network marketing opportunities, the companies will caution against talking about numbers and in the case of health products, the products themselves for compliance.

But really, no one is going to buy lottery tickets, join an MLM, or invest in a portfolio or AI trading system without having an idea about the potential return.

Returns

For fun, go to The Calculator Site Daily Compound Interest Calculator and enter a number like $10K at 1% daily interest to see what that calculation looks like. Even $1K is an interesting number.

Compared to a 10% annual return that is difficult to achieve in many types of investments, why wouldn’t you put in money you could afford to lose and see what happens?

As with most network marketing opportunities, you can earn commissions through building a team, and then compound those commissions to grow your account very fast without putting in much of your own money.

I know people who have committed to this and who already are making a great living and on track to be very wealthy within a year.

Community

Like the best network marketing companies, you can jump into global meetings and events.

I know people who not only earned enough to go to a glamorous event in Dubai, they earned bonuses for going that paid for the trip.

They essentially had a fun seven-star experience and made money for doing it.

The next stops are Utah and South Africa!

Me? I put money into simpler, quiet block-chain investments because I tend not to be all-in for network marketing events and meetings.

I have missed a lot of opportunities because of that reluctance

Let me know if this sounds like fun to you and I will connect you with the European-based platform and the team.

It has a staggering number of metaverse components, is a blockchain marketplace, and has it’s own crypto-currency listed on Yahoo Finance.

It looks like the real deal.

The Bad

Like the stock market, the Crypto currencies are very fickle on a daily basis and trends only really become clear in the rear-view mirror. The best strategies are to trade on volatility and many of the platforms are using sophisticated trading algorithms and AI to trade.

I know from personal experience how great the rewards can be and how difficult it is for a person to be consistently good as a day trader because of emotions, fatigue and a lot of other human factors.

Like the workings of a bank, hedge fund, or product-based networking marketing company, it is difficult or impossible to know what is happening behind the scenes.

Like what happened with Silicon Valley Bank recently, spooked investors can take a platform down with a panicked exit.

Unlike Silicon Valley Bank, Joe Biden in the US and Justin Trudeau in Canada won’t jump in to guarantee deposits. Ironically, the same people who railed against government regulations were the first to beg the government to protect their money. But I digress.

The best blockchain platforms do their best to align with various securities commissions.

The challenge is that the investors are located globally, which is part of the appeal of blockchain.

For example, you can find provincial securities websites that are warning people about investing in the European-based blockchain company described above because it is not registered with their local securities commission.

True. And it could all be an elaborate sham. But what if it isn’t?

As with all investments, never invest more than you can afford to lose.

The Ugly

A high percentage of high-return platforms fail.

Many work great until they don’t.

Withdrawals work until they don’t.

There are many reasons why a platform might fail:

  • They get shut down by regulators.
  • Their system gets hacked.
  • The system was not robust enough to handle the volume.
  • The mechanism they used to generate returns either stopped working or did not generate enough money to cover payouts and team commissions.

And some could have been Ponzie schemes from the beginning.

There are tons of scammers in the space.

Have you received a text from a beautiful woman originally from Singapore now living somewhere in North America offering huge returns?

Funny how the names change but the photos look similar!

Ask her to send you $10K to try and you will send her back $20K when it works.

By the way, the people who introduced me to the two platforms still standing for me put their money in my account to get me started.

That says something about their confidence in the platforms. It is also a good investment strategy to build your team.

Lunch Money Investment Perspective

Let’s say that a blockchain investment that looks solid promises a return of ten times your investment in a year.

You invest money you can afford to lose in three of these platforms.

Say two fail. You have still tripled your money.

And if none fail, you are golden.

Reducing Risk

As with all investments, a diversified portfolio reduces the risk of any one investment failing or underperforming.

If possible, withdraw your principal investment as soon as possible,

One strategy is to withdraw 50% of your gains regularly to recover your principal investment. After that, you are playing with house money or money from team commissions.

Please let me know if you want to be introduced to our team and the opportunity that is working for them now..

Invest in Debt

By Jimmy Napier

“Jimmy Napier provides financial knowledge that should be compulsory in every American high school.

The basic understanding of how to use a calculator and apply it to the time value of money should be understood by every adult. He also teaches basic negotiation skills for buying and selling mortgage and other debt instruments, clearly showing you how to discount them or correctly value them for your best interests.

And, as the book states, you can call Jimmy if you have any questions and he will pick up the phone. Jimmy is a great guy, well known by many he has taught and is known as a master negotiator. This is a small but essential book that you’ll want to have in your library. You’ll be buying extra books as gifts for your adult children and your closest friends.

You will need to use the HP10BII calculator (others will work but Jimmy uses the HP10bII) to work through the math but this is relatively easy if you outline your paper as he suggests and go through each example. The knowledge in this little book is great stuff. Wish I had bought this one twenty years ago.”
