What Would Jesus Invest In?

According to the bible, we already know how Jesus felt about moneychangers in a house of worship but what investments would Jesus possibly deem acceptable and suitable in today's society?

Residential Real Estate

A residential dwelling is a good place for a family to live in and a good thing for a family to own. A home can be the foundation and centerpiece for a family unit and family values. A good home can create a stable environment for the family members, the surrounding neighborhood, the town or city and the country as a whole.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate can be a boon to commerce and the local community. It can generate local and convenient marketplaces for vendors and consumers, can house businesses in a community, can create jobs on a local level - for construction workers, electricians and, of course, carpenters. Commercial real estate is a critical and fundamental component of successful local community development.

Savings Accounts, Savings Bonds, CD's, etc.

It is good to save some money and put it away for a rainy day; for into each life some rain must fall. And putting your savings in a secure financial institution is safer than keeping it under your mattress.

Stocks

Yes, the stock market is the bastion of capitalism, and capitalism these days is feared and hated around the world and by liberals here at home. Upon further examination here is what we will also find: in fact, the stock market is an excellent and efficient way for small, medium and large companies to acquire expansion capital. With the additional capital these enterprises can create new jobs, new products and more new tax revenues for the society.

An individual or other investing entity can purchase common stock shares of a company, and, in doing so, legally becomes an actual owner of that company, with voting rights regarding the affairs of that company. And an individual may even choose the specific company or companies he or she wishes to invest in. If an investor is a devout socially conscious person if they so desire they can even choose to invest in companies involved in alternate energy, environmentally beneficial products and services or invest in other politically correct fields.

Profits

Whatever the investor chooses to invest in, if the investment becomes successful and profitable, he or she can then choose to help those who need help, their less fortunate brothers and sisters, by donating the profits they make to a house of worship, a charity or other organization of their choice.

What Would Jesus Invest In?

Jesus most probably would not invest at all. After all, He would need no money (I'm sure His earthly needs would be provided for), would accumulate no wealth, have no investable funds, and thus would probably not be interested in financial investments of any kind.

But I don't believe that Jesus would mind if we mortals, as we go forth and multiply, make some good, solid, productive investments along the way.

Poor Credit Home Loan – Get The Mortgage Loan You Want

Having poor credit alone cannot hold you back from getting the home loan you want. Buying a home that is everything you want in a home, is a very exciting experience. The blemishes on your credit history will not alone keep you from getting the home you want and the home you deserve.

Here are some things to keep in mind when moving forward in the application process to get your home loan:

Contact or apply to many different lenders or brokers â€" Online you can fill out many mortgage applications where the lender or mortgage service company does not pull your credit history. If they don't ask for your social security number, they usually cannot pull your credit. Brokers usually use the initial application or inquiry form and what you tell them about your credit to make a decision about whether they should pursue the application and pull your credit or not. Many lenders will tell you that you are not going to get approved anywhere and that if they can't help you, no one can. That is not true. All mortgage brokers have access to very different mortgage programs and some brokers are more creative in their financing techniques than others.

Fill out your application or inquiry as accurately as possible â€" Inflating your income on your application or inquiry form, to be higher than you know you can verify your income to be, will only delay the process of getting pre-approved. The broker will work the fastest for you if he/she is working with the exact information he/she needs to be able to verify. That's the best way to get approved and through the pre-approval process smoothly.

Be persistent â€" This is the key when seeking a mortgage loan pre-approval with poor credit, be optimistic. Look for creative ways to get financing and contact as many brokers as possible. There is one or more out there that can help you. The key is to find them.

Start house hunting - Sometimes the key to getting into a house is finding the right one and a seller that is flexible enough to help you do some creative financing work. For example: the seller carrying back a small percentage of the loan, the seller paying your closing costs or you being able to purchase the house for significantly lower than market value.
