God entrusts us with His estate so we must be good financial stewards. Real estate is a great way to prove our worthiness to handle more financial responsibilities as God's stewards on earth. Can He trust YOU?
Are you a "good steward"? In order to know if you are a "good" steward, perhaps a definition of "steward" is in order. Webster defines a "steward" as "one employed in a large household or estate to manage domestic concerns" (mainly related to money).
Think this "stewardship" doesn’t apply to you?
In the book of Matthew in the Bible, Jesus talks about three men who were given money to manage for the owner.
One man, given the most to manage, went and found a way to double the amount his master gave him. The second man was given less to manage, but still found a way to double the master’s money. The third man, however, given the least amount, was afraid of what his master would do if he lost the money… so to protect what he was given he went and buried it.
Upon accounting for their actions to the owner, both the first and the second man were rewarded for their efforts. The master said to each:
"Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness."
For being fearful and not properly using what he was given, the master took the money the third servant had wastefully buried and gave it to a servant who had doubled his amount…then threw the "lazy" and "faithless" third servant off of his property.
What does this have to do with today?
For thousands and thousands of years, people have wanted to increase their possessions, knowledge, abilities, and experiences— and those who have consistently been able to do so have understood and applied a very simple concept.
Here is the clue…when you sow a seed of anything, you will reap a harvest of it.
We are HIS! Our place in this world is to serve as God’s stewards on earth, and our responsibility is to manage God’s "estate" and multiply whatever amount of anything God has given us.
Whether we are given most of time, talent, or treasures, it is our responsibility not to bury or hide them…we are to use them and invest them into those things that will not only multiply them, but in turn reap a harvest of eternal significance.
That is truly being a good steward!

When you decide to sow a seed investing and reap your financial harvest, we hope you will also decide to then sow a seed of blessing out of your profits into a worthy cause.

Real Estate Investing Research: Things to Look For
Real estate investing research is so very important. Clarity in the real estate marketplace is power. Professional investors have it. Speculators and novices are always seeking for it. It’s why professional investors who understand the real estate market cycles and know how to research real estate markets can make more money in the longer term than speculators and ‘flippers’ can make in the short term. Gaining this clarity in the real estate marketplace is a function of examining hard data and asking objective questions of it.
