Be a real estate owner the easy way (4).

This is on the front page of The Business Times today:

"Authorities urged to act as investors are lured with no-cash outlay claims, fee waivers.

"Bold claims by property experts of wielding the secret technique of buying homes with no cash outlay or owning multiple properties have proliferated in recent months, as investors look for ways to circumvent the successive rounds of cooling measures.

"... generating high returns, having the right opportunities identified and served up on a platter, and gaining financial freedom are some of the enticements dangled by newspaper advertisements on a daily basis.

"... Investors .... are not only drawn in by claims that these experts, who range from authors to enterprise award winners, have made millions from the property scene, but also that they get to waive the registration fees which can cost a few hundred dollars."

I believe that there is no free lunch in this world. No one is going to be altruistic enough to help us if there isn't anything in it for them. How to buy a property with no cash outlay? I wonder.

So, if I had gone for a free seminar, told them I was interested to make money from investing in property but I had no money, would they still welcome me? Again, I wonder.

Perhaps, there is such a thing as a free lunch.

A meal with numerous benefits.

What did I have for lunch?

Add some soy bean milk:

Yummy, nutritious, filling and inexpensive too!

If you are wondering what might the health benefits be, here is a list:

May Boost Nutrition Profile of Gluten-free Diets

... adding oats to a gluten-free diet may enhance the nutritional values of the diets, particularly for vitamins and minerals, as well as increasing antioxidant levels.

Increase Appetite-Control Hormones

... researchers studied 14 people who ate a control meal and 3 different cereals with different levels of oat beta glucan. They then collected blood samples for 4 hours after each meal, and found a significant dose response between higher levels of oat beta glucan and higher levels of Peptide Y-Y, a hormone associated with appetite control.

 Improve Immune System Defenses

... researchers ...  found that, in addition to reducing cholesterol and blunting glycemic and insulin response,  beta glucans boost defenses of the immune system agains bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

May Help Reduce the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

...  patients were introduced to a diabetes-appropriate diet containing oatmeal during a short hospital stay, then examined again 4 weeks later. On average, patients achieved a 40% reduction in insulin dosage – and maintained the reduction even after 4 weeks on their own at home.

Lower Bad Cholesterol

Researchers ... randomly assigned 36 overweight middle-aged men to eat either an oat or wheat cereal daily for 12 weeks... the men eating the oat cereal had lower concentrations of small, dense LDL cholesterol (thought to be particularly dangerous) and lower LDL overall, compared to those in the wheat group...

Help Control Blood Pressure

The oat group enjoyed a 7.5mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure and a 5.5 mm Hg reduction in diastolic blood pressure, while the wheat group was unchanged.
