A Nickel Now Worth 17 Cents! — What That Means for Real Estate Prices

Save every nickel! Precious metals, and even ordinary metals skyrocket in value due to inflation.

Don’t spend you nickels! They’re now worth 17 cents each. That’s right. Runaway inflation has big and growing consequences for just about everything of value. After a recent attempt by some investors to corner a segment of the metals commodities market, during the Russian war on Ukraine, the price of the metal nickel shot up so much that a coin that was once 5 cents is now worth more than triple that amount — just from the exploding value of the metal contents. Thus, banks are now losing money by supplying nickels. They’re losing 12 cents on every nickel coin that they dispense.

This teaches us a lesson about inflation and war. Russia controls about 20% of world nickel production, and it’s now threatened, along with oil and many other commodities. Home building materials are also under pressure, as is just about everything else.

Billionaire Elon Musk has joined Warren Buffet in trying to guide the masses in the right direction so that we can continue to buy Teslas. Musk recently posted tips on hedging against inflation, tweeting it’s “generally better to own physical things like a home or stock in companies you think make good products,” rather than keeping much money in cash.

Inflation is hitting women, children and minorities the hardest, and there’s no relief in sight. Virus hysteria, government over-spending and war make inflation worse. Biden plans to respond by continuing to blame covid and Putin for inflation. Because the current government has no serious plans to reduce inflation, and the Federal Reserve will likely fail to taper its ponzi scheme monetary policy, it is up to each American citizen to protect our private assets against inflation and increasing government confiscation, and to take advantage of rapidly rising prices for just about everything from food to real estate. The good news for Loft Blog readers is that condos have long been excellent hedges against inflation, and owning a loft is much easier than trying to store a half million dollars worth of nickels.

Real Estate Agent Salary Los Angeles

Technology permeates all industries and careers, including real estate.

REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — While L.A. real estate professionals can make any amount of salary, the average annual compensation in the area stands at around $41,000. Unlike most other careers, real estate agent work is a licensed profession in California, and usually requires strong sales skills for success. Most real estate agents are not actually salaried. Rather than a guaranteed salary, they usually receive commissions only, which they receive after they help a buyer, renter, sellers, landlord or investor to initiate and complete a transaction. Like other sales-oriented careers, the average real estate salesperson is not very successful because their personality or work preferences are not a good match with the demanding nature of sales in terms of required business skills (marketing, accounting), interpersonal skills, sales training and experience, motivation and charismatic personality. Obtaining clients tends to be the most challenging (and financially rewarding) part of a career as a licensed real estate agent. For these reasons, most new real estate agents will have best chances of success if they have a sales and marketing background, and if they work very closely with an experienced, successful real estate agent for several years. If an agent can succeed for about 5-10 years, they often find it much easier to find clients after that, through growing repeat and referral business.

Other ways to make money in real estate, without a license, include the purchase and sale or leasing out a property to rental tenants. Often an investor will find properties that require repairs and improvements, and then the investor will flip the property, buying low and selling high after quick fixes or renovations to add value — and hopefully profit.

Most real estate agents have a Real Estate Salesperson license, while a few obtain a Real Estate Broker license so that they may manage themselves and other agents, whereas they would other wise need a broker to manage them. It is also possible to buy or start a real estate brokerage without a license if the owner hires a licensed broker to manage. Either way, a real estate career often involves the risk of thousands of dollars or more just to find out whether or not it’s a good fit.

As with most industries, technology has been encroaching and changing real estate careers at an increasingly rapid pace. For those who love both real estate and technology, but prefer to spend less time and money getting started, there are some new opportunities in technologies linked to real estate, such as blockchain products and services, including the Real Estate NFT. Like the internet, new industries related to blockchain, such as real estate backed cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens offer an unlimited variety of applications, features and benefits. With a bit of technical know-how, creativity and business savvy, the sky is the limit for those getting started early in the Real Estate NFT businesses. Entar® Real Estate and Investment Technologies, a future trillion dollar company, is offering some very exciting new technologies and business opportunities as a pioneer in this arena.
