Wall Street 2 (2010)

Awhile back, I made a post about one of my favorite business films, "Wall Street." And, now the sequel is coming out. Though, I'm not sure how well this film will be executed it will still be interesting to see how it all pans out.

According to Wikipedia, the film is set to release on September 24, 2010.

Though the old trailer did not reveal much about the movie, the new trailer had more to offer. Check it out!

p.s. If anyone out there has any seen any good business and/or real estate related movies you've enjoyed, I'd definitely be interested in hearing about them. I'm an avid moviegoer, it's one of the things I enjoy doing. Thanks for reading!

Movie Pick: 8 Mile

"Every moment is a chance to turn it around."

- 8 Mile

Since it's Friday, I thought I'd share with everyone another movie pick as it relates to my last post -"8 Mile."

What I really enjoy about this film is that it focuses on the small successes, not the large ones. It is the small successes that are the most important - they are the building blocks for the larger ones.

So many times I've written here about my most important deal - my first deal. The reason why I consider it my most important deal is that it truly separated me from being on the sidelines from being in the game.

With the success of my first deal, I was in the game. And, once you're in the game, then and only then can you truly be a player.

If you're in the mood for an inspirational type film, I definitely recommend this one.

Happy investing!

Wall Street

This movie is one of my favorite business movies. Who can forget Gordon Gecko's famous line, "Greed is good." Classic acting and great performances by Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas. In the movie, you learn about the power of money and what it can do to people. Though in the end, you also learn there are still some good guys out there.
Check it out!

Pacific Heights

I saw the movie, "Pacific Heights," again. This is known as the movie to watch if you ever decide to be a landlord. Basically, it's a landlord's worst nightmare - having the worst possible tenant. Landlord beware. It's funny b/c some people think the things that happen in the movie are ridiculous but being in the business some of this stuff has happened in real life. Seriously. I've heard the craziest horror stories from people who've had tenants from hell. The hardest part is getting them out. Once they're out, the worst is over. But, most people don't know how to get them out - that's the trick to it ;) (In all honesty, the secret is screening and knowing the laws and your rights).

This is a must watch movie for anyone wanting to get into landlording. Probably what this film has taught me is:

1. Don't overleverage yourself. You must be cashflowing from the start. (These people were negative cash flow from the beginning. Thus, the desperation in having to find tenants to make the mortgage).

2. Always know the laws and your rights.

3. Screen, screen, screen because "...a vacant house is better than having a problem tenant."
