“𝙋𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙, 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨” - Col 3:12.

Good Morning 🌞

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ⏤ 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV).

Our Father in Heaven, we, Your earthly children, worship You. We thank You for Your word, which we can read at the opening of the day, taking it for a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. May it be to us indeed a light this day, shining for us and showing us the way of holiness.

We seek Your blessing upon all the work of this day. Show us what You will have us to do. May we find the tasks You have in Your plan and purpose for us, and then do them faithfully. Let us never resist Your gracious leading. Enable us always to do Your will, as it is done in Heaven. Bless us . . . in our home life, in our friendships, in our social life, in our play and our work, in our praying and our serving, in our toil and our struggle, in our joy and in our sorrow.

Amen 🙏

We come into Your presence, O God, this morning, with our problems. We do not praise You as we ought — and as You deserve. We come to You with our requests, our supplications, our pleadings — and then when our prayers are answered, we fail too often to thank You for the blessings we receive. We take Your gifts from the unseen hand — and do not think of the Giver, from whom all our favors come. We get discouraged too easily when shadows creep over us, or when fragments of cloud come into our sky, and our hearts fill with fear. We confess all this little faith and all this ingratitude — and we ask You for the grace of thankfulness, that we may suitably remember Your love. Having eyes — may we see Your love in all the manifold blessings that come to us in so many forms and ways. We ask all this through Jesus Christ. Amen

“Lead me in a plain path” (Ps. 27:14).

Let a blessing rest upon us today in all the affairs of our life. Give us this day our daily bread. We ask not for luxuries, lest we forget our dependence upon You. Preserve us from poverty and want — lest we be tempted to sin. Give us only our daily bread, and give us contentment therewith. Let us not murmur nor complain. Give us trust and peace.

O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps - Jer 10:23.

I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me,I will call on him as long as I live.

Psalm 116:1-2.

O Jesus, our Savior, You alone can give us life. You came into this world that we might have life, abundant life. Fill us with life as we go out for this new day. We shall have need of it at every step. We shall have . . . burdens to carry, and battles to fight, and trials to endure, and duties to perform.

Jeremiah 33:3 NASB "Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know."

I had to make the call! Today's verse shares with us where we need to call to get the answer we seek! From time to time, I get myself into a situation where i need help.

Our Father, May You teach us the lesson of cheerfulness, O God. We are too easily irritated and cast down. We let little troubles and difficulties discourage us. Our joy is too easily overclouded. Our song of gladness, too easily turns into a dirge. We worry ourselves needlessly, and fail to rejoice always. Sorrows come over us like a storm , and bury us away beneath their dark clouds. Our happiness is too easily turned to sadness, as life's problems and trials come upon us.

We come to You, asking that You will teach us how always to be cheerful. Help us to such a strong, quiet, firm faith in Jesus — that no matter what may come into our life, we may ever rejoice. Rescue us from disheartenment, no matter how great its cause may appear to be. Help us to cast every burden on You — sure that You will sustain us in carrying it. Help us to learn to rejoice even in disappointments, knowing that if we could see all as You see — we would find beauty and good in everything which seems to us painful and dark.

May we show to all the world what grace can do in making us messengers of gladness. We ask this in the name of Him who overcame the world and can give us peace. Amen.

Gain certainty and confidence before you list or buy on the property market.

If you’re thinking of buying a property or selling, understanding the value of the property is an essential first step.

Many factors influence the value of your property– from floorplans, to location, to market trends and economic factors. A professional, unbiased property valuation empowers you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions, negotiate confidently, and maximise the return on such a significant transaction.

Here are five compelling reasons why an independent valuation should be your top priority before you embark on the journey of buying or selling your property.

𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐧𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝: Property valuers are independent professionals who provide an objective assessment of your property's value. They are not emotionally involved or affiliated with any party set to benefit from the transaction. Their independence ensures an impartial opinion on value, giving you peace of mind that you are making the right decision.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐬 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞: Unlike guesswork, valuers consider the specific characteristics and condition of your property, not just market averages. They analyse building age, layout, and potential repairs or renovations which may impact your property value.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭: With five (5) years of university education, many years’ worth of graduate training, ongoing professional development and hands-on experience analysing numerous properties daily, qualified property valuers have a wealth of experience. Their expertise in market trends, location, and property features guarantees a reliable assessment. More importantly – they’re locals! They know the market inside and out in your area, giving them unique insight into the true value of your home.

𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Avoid overpricing or underselling – a valuation is a valuable tool for confident negotiations, ensuring informed decisions and smooth transactions.

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲: Property valuers are the same professional trusted by major banks and lenders to assess property values. Achieve upfront clarity on your borrowing capacity before you apply for a loan, saving you time and uncertainty in the application process.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
⏤ John 14:13 (KJV)

Dear God, We draw your grace today. Teach us Your will for this day. We earnestly desire to live out the plan of life, which You have for us in Your thought. We know it is a beautiful plan and a worthy one. Reveal it to us as we go on day by day. Show us now this day's section of it, and help us to yield ourselves utterly to Your guidance. Let us not mar our own life, by taking any smallest fragment out of Your hands into our own. Show us Your way, and make us willing to follow in it — even if it is not the way we ourselves would choose

May we have a day of goodness and mercy. Let us not grieve You, nor turn away from Your commandments. Help us to live profitably — unselfishly and purely. Show us our faults — and then help us to overcome them and put them away. Give us grace to make restitution if we have taken anything from another which was not ours; may we be enabled this very day to pay it back. Let us never lie, nor steal, nor defraud in any way. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be upon us. Amen.

“If we tried to think of a good idea, we wouldn’t have been able to think of a good idea. You just have to find the solution for a problem in your own life." -Brian Chesky, Co-founder of Airbnb.

What is the solution to your problem today?

Mine is Making small, consistent improvements.

When it comes to business or our careers, most of us want to see positive results fast. We want the profits, the promotion, the salary increase, the new client or customer, and we want it right now.

So we pour all of our efforts and energy into making a huge impact for a short period of time and then we wait to see what happens.

The problem is, more often than not, we're disappointed with the results. We didn't get the big break we were hoping for and we feel like all of our hard work was for nothing.

Personally, I use James Clear's approach in "Atomic Habits" that emphasizes the power of making small, consistent improvements. The idea is to focus on tiny changes, often referred to as atomic habits, which accumulate over time. This can be contrasted with doing the same thing every day without improvement.

A formula that has always worked for me is:

1. Cue: Identify a specific cue or trigger for the behavior you want to improve.

2. Craving: Develop a positive craving for the change or improvement you want to make.

3. Response: Implement a small, manageable action that aligns with your desired improvement.

4. Reward: Acknowledge and celebrate the progress, reinforcing the positive behavior.

Contrast with Doing the Same Thing Every Day:

Routine without Progress:
Doing the same thing every day might create a routine, but it doesn't inherently lead to improvement. Without intentional changes, growth can be limited.

Stagnation:
Lack of variety and improvement may lead to stagnation, where one remains in a fixed state without evolving or advancing.

In summary, Clear's philosophy encourages deliberate, small improvements as a powerful strategy for achieving long-term success over the monotony of repeating the same actions without progress.

I am a very patient person. Always patient with everything.

Gratitude, a Gate-opening Attitude

“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name”. PSALM 100:4

There are gates virtually everywhere in the world, both seen and unseen

Physical keys are used to open physical gates But when a gate is in the spirit, it can only be opened by faith and an attitude of gratitude; a spiritual force that lies beyond our physical interactions.

This means that our gates of life can only open when we’re grateful, thankful and we express our gratitude both to God and man. Be grateful and thankful always.

Good Afternoon, Happy Friday.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
⏤ Matthew 6:10 (KJV)

O God, we have nothing to bring to You but our needs, and such poor return of gratitude as our evil hearts can bring. But we are glad to know that You are pleased to have us come to You even with our needs and sins. Reveal Your love to us so clearly, that our love shall be kindled, and that we may learn to love You more.

The morning calls us to praise and thanksgiving. We have slept and have awoken , and You have preserved us and refreshed us. Our life has been renewed in sleep. The sun shines again about us, and in its beams we rejoice. Give us a Father's morning blessing as we step out to take up the new day's new duties. Purify our hearts — that our thoughts and feelings may be pure. Give us diligence, honesty, truthfulness, and the spirit of service — that we may do our common tasks in a way that will honor the name we bear.

Give us now a Father's morning blessing. Then we shall be stronger all the day. Then we shall be safe amid temptation.

Amen 🙏

⏤ Luke 11:3 (KJV)

Days come and go, our Father, with their change and decay — but You remain ever the same, and Your years have no end. A thousand ages are in Your sight, as but one day. With You there is no yesterday and no tomorrow — but all time is present to You. But in our little lives, we need daily blessing. Our yesterdays cast their shadows upon our todays. We go sadly because of the memories of our past griefs. Then even our tomorrows cast back on our path, the shadows of fear and care.

Send us out on Your errands, so that all we do this day shall be work for You. Breathe upon us as we wait here at Your feet and give us a Father's morning blessing. We beseech You to hear us for Jesus' sake. Amen.

Ranches are ecological gems, representing more than just livestock grazing grounds or game resorts. They are a testament to the spirit of pioneers and the dedication of generations of caretakers. While professional intuition has traditionally guided ranch valuation, there's a growing emphasis on a more analytical approach. After all, at its core, real estate is a long-term investment.

Ranching is more than just a profession. It's a way of life, a tradition passed down through generations. A seasoned rancher, once shared his wisdom, saying, "Every Horse, Dog, Cow, and Ranch has a hole. Your task is to spot it and decide if you can work with it and overcome that hole." This proverb summarises the essence of ranch real estate.

𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒈𝒖𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒂 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒉'𝒔 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍:

𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓: Water is not just a resource; it's the lifeblood of a ranch. The presence of water and associated rights can significantly influence the ranch’s value.

𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆: Often overlooked, climate plays a pivotal role in determining a ranch's adaptability and sustainability.

𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒉 𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒙 (𝑹𝑽𝑰):A comprehensive tool that captures the key indicators defining a property's value.

The land value of a ranch sets the stage, hinting at its potential. While hectarage defines the scope of possibilities, the price per hectare reveals its inherent value. Water rights, a marketable asset, can significantly drive a ranch's valuation. Metrics like the Water and Climate Score offer insights into the land's richness and resilience. By analysing these metrics, we can project the Annual Growth Rate and the Ranch Value Index (RVI), predicting a ranch's future performance in the broader landscape of a ranch as high value real estate.

Ranch valuation is multifaceted and influenced by various factors—such as the specific type of land, whether farmland or grassland, can affect its valuation. The size of the ranch and its location play a crucial role in its valuation. A ranch in a prime location such as Ghanzi with freehold tenure, and potential for expansion can fetch a higher price. A ranch's ability to support livestock, its agricultural potential, and other revenue-generating activities significantly impact its value. Access to water, especially in arid regions such as the Kalahari Desert, can elevate a ranch's value. The quality and quantity of available water are also vital. Factors like soil quality, biodiversity, and conservation easements can influence ranch valuation.

The Ranch Value Index (RVI) is a game-changer in ranch valuation. The RVI offers an objective lens for investors and sellers by focusing on the core principles of ranching wisdom. It helps pinpoint properties with growth potential and profitability while avoiding potential pitfalls. This dual approach, rooted in professional intuition and data, ensures that investments are genuine treasures, promising enduring value for clients.

Access to water, especially in arid regions such as the Kalahari Desert, can elevate a ranch's value. The quality and quantity of available water are also vital. Factors like soil quality, biodiversity, and conservation easements can influence ranch valuation.

The Ranch Value Index (RVI) is a game-changer in ranch valuation. The RVI offers an objective lens for investors and sellers by focusing on the core principles of ranching wisdom. It helps pinpoint properties with growth potential and profitability while avoiding potential pitfalls. This dual approach, rooted in professional intuition and data, ensures that investments are genuine treasures, promising enduring value for clients.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you

Most of us, when we hear the word ‘debt’ we have adverse reactions of negative connotations that are associated with debt, and not without reason.

Accumulating large amounts of debt is a pitfall for so many and the consequences of this can be dire.

However, many successful people, especially experienced investors, will be aware that there is ‘good debt’ and ‘bad debt’.

The major difference between bad debt and good debt really comes down to how the debt is utilised. An example of good debt is when money is borrowed to generate more income. While the investment may not pay off straight away, the general idea is that you, or your business will benefit by acquiring the debt.

Some examples of good debt include higher & specialised education (which will further future prospects), a viable business, and of course, investing in real estate.

Bad debt, on the other hand, is debt that has the opposite effect, i.e., not improving your status or net worth. This is most apparent when borrowing money for consumption as my President Hakainde Hichilema puts it, to purchase a depreciating asset. While this isn’t always easy to predict, there are some general examples of bad debt, such as going into debt for clothes, consumables, and luxury vehicles. The core principle surrounding debt usage in property investment is leverage the investment property: using the property’s value to increase your net worth and maximising the return on your investments.

So, what is the best way to create wealth using debt in real estate investing? Let’s first look at the instruments at our disposal that enable us to use debt to buy property.

Mortgaging investment properties will most likely be the first thing a savvy real estate investor will think of when using debt in real estate investment. But did you know that there are multiple types of mortgages? Knowing which one is right in certain circumstances is important in property investing.

1. 𝙁𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙙-𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚

Having a fixed-rate mortgage option means knowing how much interest you’ll be paying the whole time you’re paying off your mortgage.

External factors or variables won’t affect your interest rate, which will stay fixed at a certain amount. This allows you to know exactly what you’ll be paying on a mortgage, without any unwanted surprises.

2. 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩-𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚

An interest-only mortgage means you’ll only repay the interest that accrues on the amount initially borrowed (i.e. the principal). When making mortgage repayments, you won’t actually be decreasing the debt.

This will usually be available for a set period, and once this period has ended, the loan will change to ‘principal and interest.’ This means paying back the amount initially borrowed, which increases repayments. An interest-only loan can free up your money, as repayments remain low during the interest-only period.

The cash saved on not paying back repayments on the principal can be directed to your next investment.

Before choosing an interest-only mortgage, it’s important to consider the impact of one large payment at the end of an interest-only period and consider whether this is still the best real estate investment strategy for you.

3. 𝘼𝙙𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚-𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚

This is really the opposite of the fixed-rate mortgage. You’ll be loaned the money for the property at an adjustable rate, meaning the interest rate on the mortgage can change.

Adjustments in interest rates can change based on a range of factors, which will often be out of your control. While an adjustable rate may be lower at the start, it could end up costing you more in the future.

The biggest advantage of using debt in property investing (and the most obvious) is the fact that it allows you to buy property in the first place. Most people starting out in property investment don’t have the capital to buy a property outright, and acquiring debt is the only way of owning a property.

It also allows you to invest in higher value properties which can, as an investor, give you a better chance of generating income and create equity through property.

Using debt provides the greatest advantages for investors specifically when it comes to diversifying a property portfolio. With enough capital, you can split this amount to buy multiple properties, and mortgage the remaining amount for each property investment.

This allows you to build your property portfolio faster, and with the right property selections, diversify to increase your chance of success.

There are also tax benefits to using debt to buy property, specifically for investors. If the property is generating taxable income, interest-charges on a mortgage for an investment property are tax-deductible.

Using debt to buy property is only effective when you’re able to maximise the return on your investment. Buying property with debt relies on you being able to pay off that mortgage, as efficiently as possible.

This will allow you to use that equity for the next deposit and build your portfolio, or have rental income go straight in your pocket rather than back to the bank.

You can acquire as much debt as you like (or that the banks will let you) but you won’t see the benefit of this ‘good debt’ unless you’re making repayments.

This means buying the right property – one that is cash flow positive and has capital growth potential. Of course, this isn’t always easy. It involves a calculated, well-thought-out strategy and decision-making process. Anyone can invest in property, but knowing the right stuff is crucial.

Using debt to buy property is an incredibly useful tool for property investors. Most investors will use good debt at some point. It comes down to knowing which type of mortgage is right for you, as well as knowing how to maximise the opportunities that come with debt.
