Have you ever lost your cell phone?  Even for a little while?  1.        Download the app Lookout to your phone.

2.       Go to MyLookout.com and register

Once you’ve done that you can:

·         LOCATE – You can log onto Mylookout.com, click locate, and the location of your phone will be shown within A FEW METERS! (This won’t work if you have turned it off, the battery has died, it’s been smashed by a car, or it has shorted underwater in the toilet.)cell phone in water

 

·         SCREAM – Once you’ve determined approximately where it is, you can turn on a loud and flashing alarm, even if your volume is turned off. 

How cool is that?  You can narrow down the location and then set it to make noise even if you have it on vibrate!  No more misplaced cell phones.  But wait!  There’s more!  (I have no affiliation with Lookout, I just like the app)

·         BACKUP – Automatically back up your data

·         SECURITY – This application is primarily for virus protection, because viruses are becoming more common on smart phones these days.  You can also manage privacy settings

And if you choose to upgrade to the paid premium version, if your phone is stolen or lost, you can

·         LOCK – you can lock it remotely

·         WIPE – you can wipe it clean of data so no one can access your personal files and information

All of this can be managed remotely from the web.  The app is for Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile phones.  I’m told  there is something similar for iPhones.  www.mylookout.com

  Enjoy!

The Money Partner

protecting yourself, your partner, and the deal

If you are providing the money in a deal, whether it is as an equity partner, a lender or a credit partner, how do you know the best way to protect your funds and your interests? 

On Wednesday, June 1, we’ll be talking about exactly that.  We will discuss:

-      Funding structures – the different ways you can provide the money as an owner, a partner, a lender or a credit partner

-      Payment priority – the order of liens and how they get paid off.  This wicked matters if the deal is in trouble

-      Considerations for BOTH partners ­- Sometimes you don’t know everything, even when you are very experienced.  There is always more to talk about to make sure you don’t get caught up.  We’ll talk about tips for protecting both of you and the deal.  Bring your own tips to share with the group.

-      Transparency – It should go without saying, but sometimes it goes without doing. 

By now you are probably snoozing.  I’m practically falling asleep writing this.  

Wake up!  This is your money we’re talking about!

So join us at New England REIA on Wednesday, June 1 at the Best Western in Chelmsford.  It will be an interactive presentation, and participation is welcome.    The meeting starts at 6:30, and there is networking before and afterwards.    Oh, I almost forgot.  I don’t have a course or seminar, so if you miss this, you miss it.  There is no offer that ends at midnight.
