  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that.

CIOF Article of the Week: Why Not You?

Everybody’s doing it! Why not you?!

 

Have you been speaking to your friends lately and they’ve been telling you about all the nice homes on the market for dirt cheap prices? Have they been trying to convince you to take your savings and invest in Real Estate? Well… Everybody’s doing it! Why not you?! Don’t deny yourself that chunk of financial happiness that you’ve been looking for. Don’t tell yourself that you can retire at 55 (25 years from now) and collect social security or a pension! Don’t fall into the trap of working a miserable job everyday from sun up to sun down without knowing if you’ll be able to retire someday. Our economy has proven that social security, pensions and 401k may not be around for us in the future. The automotive industry crisis has proven that building cars isn’t the backbone of our society anymore.  Real Estate is taking over the business world. People are coming from as far as China, buying houses in large quantities and selling them off, giving them a hefty profit from each one. That can be you! Everybody’s doing it! Why not you?!

Don’t wait! Don’t sit around! Don’t stand by and watch your friends take advantage of good housing deals! Being an entrepreneur is the best move you can make right now. Being your own boss will give you a sense of freedom. Real Estate has so much to offer any American so why not take advantage. The knowledge is at your fingertips. Think about how much time the average person spends on the computer, googling, emailing or facebooking. Use that time to do research. Take a look at the homes for sale in your area. There are a host of websites that list hundreds of foreclosed homes at record breaking prices. With every click, you can feel the excitement of home ownership and financial wealth right at your fingertips. Don’t be nervous if you are an amateur and just starting out in this business. Everybody’s doing it! Why not you?!

As adults, sometimes we are faced with the hard decisions in life. How will I pay the mortgage? How will I pay the car note? How can I afford to send my teenager to college? If you want an answer, tap into what’s already in front of your eyes. Becoming a Real Estate investor has wonderful benefits. It takes determination, discipline and a willingness to change your financial situation. Don’t wait around! Everybody’s doing it! Why not you?!
