Starting your Christian home based business is a big decision. There are so many factors to consider. Will you be able to make the income you desire? Can you create the lifestyle you’ve dreamed of? What kind of hours will you have to put in to be successful? What are the risks? What are the rewards? Here are some good thoughts about starting a Christian business from home.First of all, you need to know that business isn’t evil. When the internet first came out, Christians were skeptical and many even said that it was evil. There are certainly quite a few things on the internet that are evil but the internet itself is not evil. You can download your favorite preaching, connect with missionaries around the globe and discuss theology on blog forums. The point is that, whether a medium is good or bad is determined by the person using it. Your business can be a tool that is used for good.A business is, essentially, a solution to someone’s problem.As a business owner, you are solving problems. The size of the problem that you fix determines how much you get paid. A doctor gets paid the big bucks because he solves a big problem. A fast-food chain worker doesn’t really solve a big problem and their paycheck reflects that. Everyday people type their specific problems into Google and hope that someone out there has an answer for them. You may have the answer to their problem. If you have something that you do well, whether it be teaching science, day care or selling a product, you may have a home-based business that is just waiting to take flight.One of the best parts about having your own business is that you can create a schedule that fits your lifestyle. That could be evil if your lifestyle includes binge drinking at the clubs. Running your own business could mean more time with your family, coaching little league, going on missions trips, volunteering at a soup kitchen or working with your church. All very good things. It means that when something like what happened in New Orleans or in Haiti happens, you don’t have to wonder if you have time off. You can get on a plane and help. That is a very good thing.Lastly, after getting paid for solving someone’s problem, you can earn a great income. By starting your Christian home based business you will have money. Money has a bad reputation in the Christian community and for good reason. People do a lot of evil things with money. You don’t have to be one of those people. The love of money is, in fact, the root of many, many evils. You don’t have to love money. You can tell a lot about a person by how they spend their money. It is an outward expression of what is inside a person’s heart. As a Christian, there are many good ways to spend your money. You can start a trust for your child’s education, give to charity, give to your local church, orphans and widows would also appreciate the fruit of your labors.There are plenty of good reasons to start your Christian home based business. You can solve problems and help others, create a schedule that fits your lifestyle, earn a great income, and you can work for yourself and know that your business is anything but evil.

It’s in markets like this that a commercial real estate management portfolio is of prime importance in the function of the real estate business. The management portfolio allows the agent to have a supply of properties for sales or lease in the future, as well as management fees from the portfolio in the meantime. In effect, the management portfolio is a source of controlled stock for the agent to sell or lease in the future.

Property Agents Building the Portfolio?

So how do you build a commercial property management portfolio? The simple answer is that you build it from the sales and leases that you do in the current market. The landlord is most receptive to the change of property manager when they are purchasing the property or when they are undertaking a new lease.

Referral business from other property owners and business leaders is also a way to get in touch with the landlords that may own property and want to outsource property management services. In saying that, a real estate agent is always far better positioned to capture local market intelligence and enquiry that can shorten a vacancy period for a tenancy in a landlords property.

Agents Should Protect Their Property Management Portfolio

It should be said that a property management portfolio should be protected and serviced well by the managing agent. Commercial and retail property is not like residential property; you need knowledge and the right people to do the management process well.

Costly mistakes can be made if the property manager does not understand the property type or local area. Landlords will happily move to another agent if too many mistakes are made.

Here is why:

The tenants in the property should be optimised in a tenant mix plan. This says that the tenants require strategy and placement into the property. When you have multiple tenants in a property, this becomes even more important.
The income for the landlord comes from the leases that should be optimised and managed for critical dates
The expenditure in the asset will need controls and budgets to ensure that cost standards are maintained and do not blow out beyond the standards in the local area.
Every lease should be managed so the vacancy factors in all properties are minimised.
When a vacancy occurs the property manager should proactively market the vacant space to the right target market to attract property enquiry.
The maintenance processes in a commercial or retail building today require expertise and understanding especially when it comes to essential services and satisfying the codes that apply to building operation and function. In many cases you will need the assistance of a building engineer to oversee matters of compliance today.
Build the right management portfolio and then protect it with good service and good people. Landlords and tenants will appreciate the care taken. Your agency business will grow around a sound and stable property management portfolio and client base.
