Real estate investors can also make mistakes when making decisions that pertain to the investment. The mistakes can also be made by investors who have been in the #business for a long time. The investor, however, should not be discouraged when he or she makes a mistake since it makes one knowledgeable of the future risks. The mistakes, however, becomes an error when the real estate investor repeats the mistakes without learning from them. Making mistakes is not encouraged in any investment. Therefore, it is good if the real estate investor has not made any of them. The following mistakes should be avoided by a buy and hold investor for successful operations of the investment project.
Overpaying Mistake
Investors should put into consideration the best deals in the #market if one is a flipper or wholesaler. Earning quick profits requires a flipper or wholesaler to find and maximize on the great deals. Earning quick profit, however, should not force an investor to overpay. High mortgage leads to extremely high payment which brings disastrous effects on the cash flow. The investor should learn more about the methods of buying and taking the top deals. Flipper or wholesaler strategies are not always good. The tricks should not be just imitated since they can bring equity problems into the investment. Overpaying with the aim of earning quick profits should be avoided since they can negatively affect the investment.
The Mistake of Over-appreciating
Many investors invest in rental properties which have low or non-cash with the expectation that the #properties will appreciate in value in the future. Given that the market is prone to fluctuations, investing with such aims is a risky venture. The market fluctuations cannot be predicted easily. An investor should not invest in a property if the appreciation of value is the only profit which is expected. The investor, however, can earn a lot of profits if he or she acquires the property at a price lower than the market value or improve the conditions of the property. Investing in properties which have cash flow will also bring a lot of profit. This is because the house earns income immediately it is rented. The investor who purchases properties with cash is not affected by the home values. The cash flow guarantees constant earnings even if the home values are down. The money is earned from the cash flow and not the sale of the property.
Failure to Regard Landlording as a Business Venture
Landlording is business since it involves the exchange of goods and services. An investor should employ strategies which improve the operation of the business. #Landlording business requires that the investor improves and maintains the condition of the properties. Good relations between tenants and the investor should be encouraged .The money resulting from the investment should also be well managed. Landlording is not an easy business which requires only the signing of the agreements and lacks regulations. The landlording business requires the investor to employ strategies which improve its operation. The strategies involve good management and instituting laws and regulations which guide the business operation.
Avoiding overpaying and over-appreciating of the property and regarding the property as a business is the key to success in the investment. The investor will earn a lot of profits and attain smooth operation of the business if the mistakes are avoided.
On the southern end of Assateague Island, in Virginia District, stands a lighthouse. Last time I visited, I had brought only a telephoto lens. This time, I didn't make the same mistake!

Tredici brani ricchi di idee, invenzioni, dettagli che rompono gli schemi e spiazzano l’ascoltatore, tra soul, gospel, country, blues, rock e l’immancabile jazz. Un lavoro di cui lo stesso Raphael è autore, compositore, arrangiatore e produttore.

I was shooting my photo of the day and I this is one of the mistake shots. I acutally kinda love it.
This has been hard work week. Lots going on and lots to think about. It's almost over...

30mm - f/1.4
I was playing with the camera in a moving car and more or less took this by mistake... I like it though =)

Lonely tree... well not really there were like a hundred people walking here. I hated it, I love to go on walks (+/- 8km long walks) to clear my head and take the occasional snapshot and stupid me thought it was a good idea to go the Archerberg to do that. Big mistake it was crawling with tourist :-(
Anyhow I really like this picture but really couldn't figure out how process it without over-processing it so here it is with a few minor tweaks.
Used the good old Samyang 35mm for this shot!
Our KidWind turbine took a hit when it was being brought back in school. Fortunately, it was after our event, where the students performed spectacularly!

We stayed at the City of Arts and Sciences from late afternoon till night time. There was a beautiful blue cast through twilight and then, about 8.00pm the lights came on. I forgot the tripod so it was a case of having a steady hand. A bit of noise in there but I'm glad I hung around - we had a few glasses of wine as well needless to say.
We decided to go for a city break rather than sun in Tenerife again this September. Other than a few days in the North East we haven’t been away since last March and wanted a change and hopefully some sun. The problem is getting flights from the north of England to the places we want to go to. We chose Valencia as we could fly from East Midlands – which was still a pain to get to as it involved the most notorious stretch of the M1 at five in the morning. In the end we had a fairly good journey, the new Ryanair business class pre-booked scheme worked quite well and bang on time as usual. It was dull when we landed with storms forecast all week, the sky was bright grey – the kiss of death to the photography I had in mind. I was full of cold and wishing I was at work. It did rain but it was overnight on our first night and didn't affect us. There has been a drought for eleven months apparently and it rained on our first day there! The forecast storms didn't materialise in Valencia but they got it elsewhere.
You May notice discrepancies in the spelling of some Spanish words or names, this is because Valencian is used on signs, in some guide books and maps. There are two languages in common use with distinct differences. There may also be genuine mistakes - it has been known!
Over the course of a Monday to Sunday week we covered 75 miles on foot and saw most of the best of Valencia – The City of Bell Towers. The Old City covers a pretty large area in a very confusing layout. There was a lot of referring to maps – even compass readings! – a first in a city for us. The problem with photography in Valencia is that most of the famous and attractive building are closely built around, some have poor quality housing built on to them. Most photographs have to be taken from an extreme angle looking up. There are no high points as it is pan flat, there are a small number of buildings where you can pay to go up on to the roof for a better view and we went up them – more than once!
The modern buildings of The City of Arts and Sciences – ( Ciutat de Las Arts I de les Ciencies ) are what the city has more recently become famous for, with tourists arriving by the coachload all day until late at night. They must be photographed millions of times a month. We went during the day and stayed till dark one evening, I gave it my best shot but a first time visit is always a compromise between ambition and realism, time dictates that we have to move on to the next destination. I travelled with a full size tripod – another first – I forgot to take it with me to TCoAaS! so It was time to wind up the ISO, again! Needless to say I never used the tripod.
On a day when rain was forecast but it stayed fine, albeit a bit dull, we went to the Bioparc north west of the city, a zoo by another name. There are many claims made for this place, were you can appear to walk alongside some very large animals, including, elephants, lions, giraffe, rhino, gorillas and many types of monkey to name a few. It is laid out in different geographical regions and there is very little between you and the animals, in some cases there is nothing, you enter the enclosure through a double door arrangement and the monkeys are around you. It gets rave reviews and we stayed for most of the day. The animals it has to be said gave the appearance of extreme boredom and frustration and I felt quite sorry for them.
The course of The River Turia was altered after a major flood in the 50’s. The new river runs west of the city flanked by a motorway. The old river, which is massive, deep and very wide between ancient walls, I can’t imagine how it flooded, has been turned into a park that is five miles long. There is an athletics track, football pitches, cycle paths, restaurants, numerous kids parks, ponds, fountains, loads of bridges, historic and modern. At the western end closest to the sea sits The City of Arts and Sciences – in the river bed. Where it meets the sea there is Valencia’s urban Formula One racetrack finishing in the massive marina built for The Americas Cup. The race track is in use as roadways complete with fully removable street furniture, kerbs, bollards, lights, islands and crossings, everything is just sat on the surface ready to be moved.
We found the beach almost by accident, we were desperate for food after putting in a lot of miles and the afternoon was ticking by. What a beach, 100’s of metres wide and stretching as far as the eye could see with a massive promenade. The hard thing was choosing, out of the dozens of restaurants, all next door to each other, all serving traditional Paella – rabbit and chicken – as well as seafood, we don’t eat seafood and it constituted 90% of the menu in most places. Every restaurant does a fixed price dish of the day, with a few choices, three courses and a drink. Some times this was our only meal besides making the most of the continental breakfast at the hotel. We had a fair few bar stops with the local wine being cheap and pleasant it would have been a shame not to, there would have been a one woman riot – or strike!
On our final day, a Sunday, we were out of bed and down for breakfast at 7.45 as usual, the place was deserted barring a waiter. We walked out of the door at 8.30 – in to the middle of a mass road race with many thousands of runners, one of a series that take place in Valencia – apparently! We struggled to find out the distance, possibly 10km. The finish was just around the corner so off we went with the camera gear, taking photos of random runners and groups. There was a TV crew filming it and some local celebrity (I think) commentating. Next we came across some sort of wandering religious and musical event. Some sort of ritual was played out over the course of Sunday morning in various locations, it involved catholic priests and religious buildings and another film crew. The Catholic tourists and locals were filling the (many) churches for Sunday mass. Amongst all of this we had seen men walking around in Arab style dress – the ones in black looked like the ones from ISIS currently beheading people – all carrying guns. A bit disconcerting. We assumed that there had been some sort of battle enactment. We were wrong, it hadn’t happened yet. A while later, about 11.30 we could hear banging, fireworks? No it was our friends with the guns. We were caught up in total mayhem, around 60 men randomly firing muskets with some sort of blank rounds, the noise, smoke and flames from the muzzles were incredible. We were about to climb the Torres de Serranos which is where, unbeknown to us, the grand, and deafening, finale was going to be. We could feel the blast in our faces on top of the tower. Yet again there was a film camera in attendance. I couldn’t get close ups but I got a good overview and shot my first video with the 5D, my first in 5 years of owning a DLSR with the capability. I usually use my phone ( I used my phone as well). Later in the day there was a bullfight taking place, the ring was almost next to our hotel, in the end we had other things to do and gave it a miss, it was certainly a busy Sunday in the city centre, whether it’s the norm or not I don’t know.
There is a tram system in Valencia but it goes from the port area into the newer part of the city on the north side, it wouldn’t be feasible to serve the historic old city really. A quick internet search told me that there are 55,000 university students in the city, a pretty big number. I think a lot of the campus is on the north side and served by the tram although there is a massive fleet of buses as well. There is a massive, very impressive market building , with 100’s of stalls that would make a photo project on its own, beautiful on the inside and out but very difficult to get decent photos of the exterior other than detail shots owing to the closeness of other buildings and the sheer size of it. Across town, another market has been beautifully renovated and is full of bars and restaurants and a bit of a destination in its own right.
A downside was the all too typical shafting by the taxi drivers who use every trick in the book to side step the official tariffs and rob you. The taxi from the airport had a “broken” meter and on the way home we were driven 22 km instead of the nine that is the actual distance. Some of them seem to view tourists as cash cows to be robbed at all costs. I emailed the Marriot hotel as they ordered the taxi, needless to say no answer from Marriot – they’ve had their money. We didn’t get the rip off treatment in the bars etc. that we experienced in Rome, prices are very fair on most things, certainly considering the city location.
All in all we had a good trip and can highly recommend Valencia.

This kind of says it all about how I feel at the moment after returning to the UK from a short stay to Sweden.
Made some changes to the typography.... does the different colors work? or should I stick with 1 throughout the type?
I also cropped the image a little tighter, not sure which I like more...
Also followed Becky's advice for a little something in the background of the keyhole...
opinions, feedback, etc...?
Thanks...

This is one of Ruth's most sought after prints but somewhere along the line it was mistakenly ascribed to the year 1975 and that mistake was never corrected. She gave me this print in 1966 or '67. It probably went years without being printed until Michael Kenna began printing for her in the mid-seventies. Maybe someone mis-typed a 7 instead of a 6 when the print first started selling and then it seemed too late to make a correction.
