Visions

The cost of home ownership is influenced substantially by regulatory agencies. Ordinances and  laws passed determine the cost of insurance, taxes, repairs, etc. Interest rates set by the federal reserve may determine mortgage payments.  Well I don't own a home, I rent you say. But do you think you're landlord will accept paying more property taxes or insurance without passing at least a portion onto you in higher rent? And what about all of the businesses you make purchases from? They either own or rent the property that houses that business. The cost is reflected in the price you pay for goods and services.

If you're an investor, you're not only subject to all of the above but may be affected by a multitude of laws and regulations concerning auctions, brokering and even mortgages depending upon the type of business you operate. For example, if Senate Bill HR 1728 passes,  not only will the investor's creative financing options be diminished but it also legislates how and when a property owner may sell their own property. Regardless of whether you feel the direct impact of government regulation on current issues or not, at some point, they will extend into some area that breeches your right control your life or property. How long before you will take a stand?

Time, it stands still, for nearly ten miles

And the world becomes art for a little while

Crimson and lavender reflect on the glass

As I travel a corridor of mangroves and grass

A sky full of copper and gold the sun poured

The mighty sentinels guard the distant shore

A rapturous beauty that fills me with peace

Where nature’s wonders never cease

At the rocky point where the sea becomes foam

Palms wave as I pass to welcome me home

Now the guardians tower overhead

In my home by the sea to which I was led
