Working from home and time management sometimes doesn’t mix. When you have a home-based business, you can often experience one distraction after another. Some are avoidable and some not. We’re going to focus today on how to manage the time we do have.The first thing you have to remember when you have a home-based business, is that there will be no one around to tell you what to do, when to do, and quite often no one even tells you how to do it. And no one is going to tell you how to organize your time.So how do you keep it all pulled together? Organize… organize… organize. Everything happens “on purpose” when you work for yourself. But if you take it seriously, choosing to work from home can become the best decision you’ve ever made.So, here are the five most important tips that I’ve found extremely helpful.1. Minimize Your Distractions. Things like email, instant messaging with friends (non-work related) and desk clutter can cause you to have an unproductive day. I find it very helpful to “shut it down” while I’m trying to focus on my work. Distractions can kill your home-work time more than anything else. Turn it all off… (including the TV) and treat it like you would any other 8 to 5 J.O.B.2. Plan in advance. Don’t leave your day to whatever you can come up with. Lay it all out in advance… ON PAPER… so you’ll know exactly what you need to accomplish for the day.3. Set your priorities. Do you know exactly what you need to do to make sure that your business is successful? Write these things out in the order of importance, and then set your priorities for the day accordingly.4. Take a Break. I know that this one might seem a little unproductive, but just like any other job; you need to give your mind a rest for a few minutes. No… not an hour or two but walk away and give your mind time to revitalize. Take a real lunch hour; just don’t forget to go back to work!5. Stay Focused. If your family is home while you’re working, let them know when your work hours are, and that they can’t just barge in and take your time. I know that many of us choose to work at home so that we can be there, especially for the kids. But make sure that they understand that while you’re working, you should only be disturbed if it’s urgent. I’ve found it helpful to set some time during the day for them. They’ll know that between 12:00 and 1:30, it’s our time. I won’t let work interfere with their time, and they agree not to interfere with work time. It’s a very nice exchange.Running a home-based business is very freeing, but if you’re not making the money you need, it can be frustrating. To avoid falling into that scenario… the one of not making money, remember that when you “work from home” it’s exactly that. It’s a workday. Then, you’ll enjoy it, you’ll be productive, and EVERYBODY WINS!You can print out a downloadable form from my blog that can help you stay on point. It really made a big difference in the way I approached my work-at-home day. Staying on track when you work from home is not an option, but a necessity… if you want success.

Building a successful home based business empire will require analyzing five key factors. Once you get comfortable with these five factors you should have a very good idea of which home based business opportunity you’ll want to get involved in!A quick warning before we get into the meat of the article. If you are considering building a successful home based business empire you’ll obviously spend some time researching what opportunities are out there. Be very careful here, if anyone “guarantees” a certain amount of income or tells you that making money from home is easy, DON’T WALK, RUN from these offers. Let’s not forget that a home based business is just that, a BUSINESS.Nothing is guaranteed in business and it’s not easy. I’m not saying this to discourage you or scare you away because there are some great opportunities out there for you to build your home business empire, but understand that whatever you choose will be challenging and it will require a big effort from you to be successful. That being said I personally know home business entrepreneurs that have earned well into seven figures from home, but I also know that they put in the effort to get the return.OK, OK you get it so enough with the lectures, let’s get into the five factors you’ll need to consider when choosing the which home business opportunity is going to help you achieve the success you want!1) What’s the initial investment? When considering this keep in mind that less may not be more. In other words a larger investment may give you a better opportunity to earn a higher income quicker. Some opportunities may not even require an upfront investment, think affiliate marketing. Whatever the size of the investment you’ll want to do you due diligence on the company your signing on with prior to getting started.2) What are your ongoing expenses? Any business owner will tell you one of the most frustrating things to manage is overhead. It’s a moving target and take a business under quickly. In considering a home based business you”ll have a leg up almost immediately here because your overhead is going to be significantly lower than a traditional business. That being said different opportunities are going to have varying expenses. I would suggest staying away from anything that’s going to require purchasing inventory. In today’s Internet world even if you’re going to sell product you should be able to use a drop ship company to help with the storage and shipping of products.3) What type of opportunity will you choose? This is a tough one because we all have different interests and passions. I would suggest spending some time thinking about what your hobbies or passions are. It’s much easier to build a business around something you love than it is to just chase money. From this perspective network marketing can be a viable possibility for a home based business empire because there is a wide range of network marketing opportunities available and you will probably be able to identify one that ties in with your passion.4) How long will it take for you to be profitable? You’ll need to run some projections here, but I would suggest that for a home based business you need to be profitable within 2-4 months.5) What equipment is required? From my perspective I don’t want to get involved in something that requires me to load up on new equipment. For one thing it’s going to eat away at potential profits, but I also don’t want to learn how to use new equipment. You’re going to have enough on your hands learning how to run your business and I would argue that you need to limit your learning curve as much as is possible to your business and how to get it to profitability ASAP!Once you have worked through these five factors you should be able to zero in on a few opportunities that meet the criteria you’re looking for. Once you’ve decided on the opportunity you’re going to choose, roll up your sleeves and have fun building you a successful home based business empire!Feel free to check out my blog at http://www.askchrispatterson.blogspot.com.

Giving house or a portion of the house on rent is one of the common practices followed by mankind from the years. It can also be said that giving property on rent is the source of earning extra income by sitting at home. Going through this practice lots of people either extend the portion of their existing house or construct extra houses forgiving on rent. All these activities in the beginning seem quite simple to them and they exhibit their properties proudly in front of their known ones, but their happiness is not less than a bubble that vanishes in the span of few seconds.

From vanishing I do not mean that their property vanishes or collapses, but I mean the problems which they face before and after giving property on rent smashes their dreams of earning substantial earnings from property within the short period. This is mainly because of complications related to the property giving on rent, because giving property on rent is not stagnated to allowing someone to stay in your house and pay you the asked rent to you. There are lots of formalities which being as a landlord is expected to be followed by you, with this you also have a plethora of responsibilities towards your tenants to which are expected to be accomplished by you on demand.

Anyhow, all these problems can be realized only by the person who has constructed additional property only for the purpose of giving it on rent, because generally if someone has given a portion of his house for rent he can easily look after the matters related to tenancy. But, if a person has developed some additional property, then there are chances that he will definitely realize that managing a property giving on rent is everybody’s cup of coffee.

So how to get rid of this problem is the matter of concern among such landlords or property owners. Interestingly, with an objective to provide remedy to such landlords for their problems today there are various property management firms which look after towards all the matters related to giving property on rent. These groups or firms are mainly constituted by the group of experts having knowledge in dealing with the issues related to the property given on rent.

Types of Property Management Fees: Although property management fees refer to the amount charged for looking after the property given on rent, but depending upon their requirements the property management firms charge the fees in different formats. Some of them are referred below:

1. Monthly Management Fees: It is self understanding term and refers to the payment made to property management firm every month for the services rendered by it. This payment is made for the varied services offered by the group, including receiving rent from the tenants, regular inspection of property, property maintenance, attaining the complaints received from the tenants during odd hours, etc. The amount of this fee mainly varies from 7% to 10% of the monthly rent received from the tenants.

2. Leasing Fees: This fee refers to the investment made for advertising the property, showing the property to your prospective tenants, screening tenants and checking their previous credit score, getting all the legal documents prepared accordingly and various other tasks. This is generally one time fees and mainly varies from 75% to 100% of the rent for the first month.

3. Maintenance Fee: It mainly refers to investment made by the company for maintaining the condition of your property. As a general practice this type of fee is mainly charged on terms and conditions determined between the property management company and the landlord. If the landlord takes the responsibility of looking after the maintenance of property no fees is paid to the group, but in case if the responsibility is handed on the shoulders to the group. Then, depending upon the terms, conditions and maintenance fee is paid to the group.

4. Late Fee: If the tenant is not able to pay the rent on the determined date, in that scenario the management firm might opt for collecting the full portion of rent or certain percentage of rent depending upon the mutually agreed conditions.

5. Eviction Fee: There might be circumstances when the landlord might wish to get his house vacated before the end of the contract. In that scenario the management company can help him in getting the tenants evicted from the house either through mutual agreement or via court. Depending upon the efforts and time, the property management company can charge the necessary fees for the same.

The Fee Simple is the most ample Jamaica real estate known to law; it is the most ample because it is likely to last the longest and because it gives to its owner the widest powers of enjoyment of the land. Consequently if we take the powers of fee simple owner as a datum line we shall be able to see how far the powers of the owners other freehold estates and interests fall short of this.

What powers of enjoyment has the fee simple owner? Broadly, his powers may be considered as of two kinds – his rights of enjoying the land as he pleases and his rights of alienation, or passing the land or houses for sale in Mandeville Jamaica on to others, as he may desire. In theory both these powers are enjoyed to an unlimited extent by the fee simple owner, but in practice there limitations on both.

Rights to enjoying Jamaica Property And Land

The rights which a fee simple owner has to enjoy the Jamaican land may be considered under two headings: what he is entitled to enjoy and how he is entitled to enjoy it.

(a) Subject matter of enjoyment – Theoretically the owner of the fee simple in land enjoys everything on the land, beneath it and above it. The Latin maxim – “oujus est solum ejus usque ad caelum et ad inferos”, meaning, whoever owns the soil owns also everything up to heaven and down to hell. Thus the owner is entitled generally to everything found on or under his land which has no other owner “treasure trove,” however, belongs to Crown as do gold and silver ores wherever found. The Jamaica landowner is also entitled to the use of the airspace above his land, though the air space does not belong to him since air is incapable of ownership. There are certain things, too, which even though found on land, do not belong to the landowner; such things come within the category of res nullius or “things belonging to nobody”, and include air.

(b) Method of enjoyment – Although a fee simple owner can do practically anything he likes with his land he must always show consideration for the rights of others. At Common Law a fee simple owner may do anything he pleases on his land so long as he does not thereby interfere with any legal right enjoyed by any other person. This rule is embodied in the maxim sic utere tuo ut elienum non laedas (so use your own Jamaica property that you do not injure that of others). If for instance a landowner deposits some material on his land which gives off a smell offensive to his neighbors he may be interfering with his neighbor’s rights to the ordinary enjoyment of their land: if this is so then he has committed a “nuisance” and may be restrained by injunction.

In addition to this curtailment of the landowner’s absolute powers of enjoyment, his powers may be restricted by virtue of estates or interests which have been granted by him or his predecessors in title, or by contracts of one kind or another such as licenses or restrictive covenants.

Apart from restrictions imposed by the two rules above mentioned, the landowner can at common Law, do what he pleases. Various statutes however, particularly in recent times, have very severely restricted the landowner’s powers of enjoyment.

Natural rights of a fee simple owner

There are certain rights which belong to the property owner simply because he is the owner of the land: these are sometimes called “natural rights” to distinguish them from a large number of rather similar rights, like easements, which may be acquired by the landowner in addition to his natural rights. The most important natural rights are:

(a) Air: The right to receive any flow of air to the premises in an unpolluted state. A landowner is not entitled to the flow of air to his land and any neighbor who prevents the air from flowing, say, to blow smoke away from a chimney-pot is not interfering with any right of the landowner. But if air does flow the owner is entitled to have it unpolluted. Precedent for this existed with respect to houses for sale in Montego Bay Jamaica, construction polluted the air with dust and caused several problems for neighboring residents.

(b) Water:

(i) the sole right to fish in water on his land

(ii) the right to receive the accustomed flow of water in any natural stream on his land and to receive it unpolluted.

(iii) the right to use a reasonable quantity of the water flowing in any natural stream on his land subject to the right of owners lower down the stream to receive the accustomed flow.

(c) Support: The right to have his land, in its natural state, supported by the land of his neighbor; this natural right does not extend to buildings put upon the land. If A’s neighbor, B digs a pit on his own land which results in A’s land collapsing into the hole this is an interference with A’s natural right of support.

These natural rights are part of the bundle of rights which make up the fee simple estates. They are not rights which must be acquired from other Jamaica real estate owners as are easements and other incorporeal hereditaments.
