Hey, what's up?

John Sonmez here from simpleprogrammer.com.

I got a question.

This one is sort of a real estate kind of investing question.

If you want to check out the playlist on all the real estate kind of investing videos that

I do, you can check them out here, but—excuse me.

He says here—or actually, you know what, it's not much of a question.

It's just a simple question, he just says, "Hey John, I'm curious to know what your opinion

is on investing in REITs."

What is an REIT first of all?

An REIT is basically like a stock that is—it's a company that has been put together that

invest in real estate and you can buy it like you can buy like a gold commodity, like an

index trade fund, like a gold fund.

An REIT is essentially that.

It's a real estate investment trust.

The idea behind it is that you take this group of properties, let's say like there are REITs

that invest in malls.

Instead of you owning malls you invest in this stock and this stock reflects the value

of those investments.

Seems like a really good idea, seems like a plausible idea.

They usually pay dividends.

REITs you invest in, not necessarily because the price of the stock goes up, but because

the dividend that you get on it.

It seems like a decent way to invest in real estate without having to deal with tenants,

without the risks, without any of that stuff.

In fact, a lot of people sort of—REITs as I say, that's how they convince you.

They say, "REIT, you don't have to deal with all this stuff."

But is that really true?

No, it's not really true and I'll tell you why.

Think about it this way, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Everyone tries to get a free lunch in life and you just can't get a free lunch.

I'm not saying that REITs are not a good investment because they have been historically been pretty

decent investments and you can get good returns on the dividends on REITs but you're not going

to get anywhere near the returns that you can get in investing in real estate yourself.

Believe me on that because I've invested in REITs before.

I have a bunch of properties I invested in real estate.

I've been doing this since I was 19 and you're not going to get anywhere close to the kind

of return that you can get when you're controlling the investment itself.

Now, as to why this is, there are 2 reasons I'll give you why.

One of them is just a—you don't even have to know the technical details to know that

this would constitute a free lunch and there's no such thing.

From a principle perspective the why should be pretty obvious is that why do you think

that you would get the same kind of return not having to deal with the headaches, not

having to deal with tenants, not having to deal with acquiring a property, not having

to deal with any of the risks as you would as if you did that?

Logically, it doesn't make sense.

That would violate the free lunch rule.

There's no free lunch.

That would violate the free lunch rule.

You can't have that kind of a gross arbitrary situation.

It just doesn't exist.

I'm not saying arbitrary situations don't exist, I'm just saying that they don't exist

in that gross and accessible level.

That's just ridiculousness.

That should just be common sense thing.

The other reason why, the technical reason why probably that REITs don't return as much

is because, one, the person that's putting the REITs that's who is making the money.

They're going to have a management company, a board, they're going to have all this overhead

and they're not going to give you 100% of the profits.

They're going to take a lion's share of the profits and they're going to give you what's

leftover.

That's the whole point.

That's why—what was their motivation for forming an REIT?

You've got to think about it that way.

I know that a lot of them do pass on a lot of the profits that they make from the properties,

but it's not the same and you don't have that same level of control that you do, plus, you're

also going to be averaging in the bad dogs with the good dogs in there and you're going

to have more of a smooth out.

When you own properties yourself you can get rid of your bad dogs, you can change the way

that you manage the property, you can do things to increase the rent, you've got a lot more

control so you can increase the profitability a lot more than you can with an REIT.

In general, I recommend it or I recommend against investing in REITs.

I think that if you're going to invest in real estate just invest in real estate, take

the time, learn how to do it right.

If you want some help on that I created a course on how to invest in real estate for

software developers specifically.

It's just a no bullshit course that just tells you the basics and tells you how I did it.

I'm not trying to sell you anything in addition to that.

The course is expensive, I'll tell you that, but that's all you need to know to get started

and it cuts through the bullshit.

That is a much better investment than REITs in my opinion.

Feel free to disagree.

If you do, leave a comment below.

I'm always curious to hear.

Maybe you've become a billionaire from investing in REITs if you did, then let me know.

I don't know anyone who has really made a fortune on REITs, but I do know a ton of people

who have made a fortune investing in real estate themselves.

There you go.

If you like this video, if you want to get more videos like this on real estate, finances,

fitness, everything under the sun that is not technical for software developers because

that's what I do at Simple Programmer is I teach you how to become a better you.

I'll talk to you next time.

Take care.

10 Reasons Why Kyanite Is An Essential Stone For Healing And Spiritual Growth

Do you ever wish you had a magic wand? Personally, I�d like one that can poof away unpleasant

things, such as bills, anxiety, and cellulite. My ideal magic wand would also bestow metaphysical

superpowers and beam me onto friendly star ships. Though I have yet to find a magic wand

like in the storybooks, the crystal kingdom has a version that comes close�the Kyanite

wand.

Kyanite is a high vibration stone that has a striated structure, which means that it

has parallel grooves or recesses down the length of the stone. These striations act

as amplifying channels that transmit higher frequencies of light into the human auric

field. Kyanite literally acts like a wand that can deliver refined, spiritual energy

for clearing, healing, balance, activation, and upgrade. If you could only have one healing

crystal in your collection, Kyanite would be an excellent, versatile choice. Here are

ten reasons why:

1.Kyanite clears blockages and corrects misalignments in all chakras, meridians, and subtle bodies.

If you want to be healthy, vital, and spiritually connected, it all starts with your bio-energetic

system. Blockages in the chakras and meridians can lead to health issues and stagnation on

all levels. Luckily, Kyanite is versatile and can be used over any chakra or meridian

point to clear it. Kyanite also moves the energy centers into proper alignment, as well

as the different layers of the auric field. Working with it can ensure that your entire

energy system is flowing and functioning properly.

2.Kyanite seals and protects your auric field. Energetic protection is especially important

right now, because a lot of negativity is coming up for humanity to face and heal. Kyanite

seals your aura, mending any cracks and fissures. This ensures that you are not leaking energy

or allowing in unwanted influences. Wearing Kyanite jewelry or keeping it nearby will

establish a strong protective field around you.

3.Kyanite can replenish your life-force energy or qi. A lot of people are feeling exhausted

and drained lately, due to the powerful ascension energies that keep increasing. You can work

with Kyanite over specific chakras that are depleted to quickly replenish the energy.

You could also experiment with placing Kyanite blades at the thyroid and adrenal glands to

give them a boost. Just keeping Kyanite in your energy field will help to restore your

general energy levels and stamina.

4.Kyanite helps you to release and heal deeply engrained emotional and mental patterns that

keep you stuck. Do you find yourself in a repeating loop of negative thoughts, emotions,

or beliefs? See if you can determine where they are located in your body, and work with

Kyanite there to initiate a deep energetic purification. After the clearing is accomplished,

Kyanite creates an energetic pathway to higher ways of thinking and feeling, so that you

create a positive, lasting shift. It helps to rewire your subtle energetic circuitry

so that you can maintain the new outlook and state of being.

5.Kyanite is a mechanism for higher dimensional connection and spiritual upgrade. Kyanite

is often described as a bridge to the higher realms. When you work with it above the head,

it creates a channel or pathway for higher frequencies and light codes to be delivered

into your bio-system. It is even known to expand your subtle energetic circuitry and

to strengthen the nervous system so that you can receive and integrate increasing levels

of light. Being able hold and process this light catalyzes an upgrade process for

your psychic senses and spiritual gifts.

6.Kyanite activates the third eye and crown chakras. It is perfect for awakening the higher

chakras and bringing your psychic senses to a greater level of functioning. Regular work

with Kyanite will increase your clairvoyance, clairaudience, intuition, and telepathy. You

will have an easier time connecting with your spirit team and soul to receive guidance.

7.Kyanite is one of the best stones for meditation, because it activates the causal chakra. When

I was studying at Katrina Raphaell�s Crystal Academy for Advanced Healing Arts, we learned

that Kyanite was the best stone for activating the causal chakra. The causal chakra is located

right behind the crown chakra, at the place where your hair can create a spiral and where

a baby�s soft spot is located. This is the area where you receive higher mental impressions

from spiritual sources. When the causal chakra is fully activated, it is easier to move into

higher meditative states and to hold onto the fleeting visions and information you receive.

8.Kyanite has a calming and soothing effect on the emotions. Anxiety and stress are on

the rise lately, as the planetary energy and pace of life continues to accelerate. Kyanite

emits a peaceful energy that counteracts worry, panic, fear, and turbulent emotions. Stroking

Kyanite�s striations can send a calming transmission through your being, helping to

bring you back into a centered space.

9.Kyanite enhances dreamwork. It is a wonderful practice to sleep with Kyanite

under your pillow or on your bedside table. Not only will Kyanite help you fall asleep

faster, it can also stimulate productive dreams that bring in solutions to your problems.

It also assists you with lucid dreaming and astral travel. If you have problems remembering

your dreams, Kyanite will help you to hold onto them upon awakening.

10.Kyanite helps with channeling and communication. For those who channel spiritual messages and

healing energy, Kyanite can take your abilities to the next level. It can turn up the volume

on your radio to spirit so that you can hear, receive, and transmit more. Kyanite powerfully

activates the throat chakra, your center of communication. It promotes heart-felt communication

that helps to bridge different points of view.

As you can see, Kyanite is a multitasking stone that can help you on multiple levels

of the being. It�s a beautiful channel for the light, helping you to clear, heal, and

evolve yourself so that you can become the same�no magic wand required!

What is thomas the dank engine? The origin of the AMAZING thomas the train remix songs - Duration: 5:10.

Hello Internet!

And Welcome To Behind The Meme!

Today we have a look at Thomas The Tank / Thomas The Dank Engine Remixes!

Thank you so very much to each and every single one of my amazing viewers who took time out

of their day to request this video!

I appreciate you beautiful people so very much!

Your comments and requests help shape this channel and the videos that I make so make

sure to let me know what you would like to see next and maybe I'll be able to make

it happen!

You guys wanted it now you have it!

Here We Go!

So what exactly is Thomas The Tank Engine And how did he become so dank?

You may think you know who Thomas is but in reality he has become so much more.Thomas

the tank is the name of a character of a popular children's television show that first aired

in 1984.

You know… 1984, back when cellphones were weapons.

Thomas has consistently been on television since then having an impact on many people's

childhoods, including my own.

The show revolves around Thomas and his friends who happen to be, you guessed it, trains.

The early seasons of the show were notable for using real model trains and sets, but

newer seasons have started to use CGI instead of the real physical models.

Which in my opinion takes away some of the magic and creativity behind the original seasons.

eventually The 80's turned into the 90's and the 90's turned into the new millennium.

The new millennium brought with it something we call the internet, you may have heard of

it.

With the internet came Youtube And with Youtube came the genre of videos known as MLG and

Youtube Poops! clips from the show started to be used quite often in the Youtube Poop

videos becoming one of the notable elements that these types of videos used to create

their content.

If you happen to be unaware, Youtube poop videos are known for their strange, random

and down right weird edits and Thomas was used…well, in every way you can imagine

and even ways you could never fathom.

But in recent years he has had a whole subculture based around him known as Thomas The Tank

or Thomas The Dank engine remixes.

These remixes use the theme song to the Thomas The Tank show and are mixed with various other

modern day songs which are used as the vocals in the remix.

First being used this way in 2005 when the YTMND user CookieMonster4Sael created a remix

which they titled "Thomas the tank engine and hoes"

SONG

That's pretty gangster!

Gangsta!!!

Since this first example of the remixes the internet has gone crazy and continued to create

many different versions of the remixes almost always using popular rap songs as the vocals.

"May I have your attention please, may i have your attention please.

would the real slim shady please stand up?

I repeat would the real slim shady pleas stand up.

We're gonna have a problem here.

you'll act like you never seen a white person before jaws all on the floor"

"now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down and i'd like

to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became a prince of a town called

bel air"

and some of them blend with the Tomas The Tank music so well that some people may be

shocked to find out that wasn't their originally intention.

Come on mother effer, come on Come on mother effer, come on

Come on mother effer , come on Release the BRAINSTORM, to make your mother

BRAIN WARM A strange form, somethin kind of lyrical

Biggie the bastard, Sadat's kind of spiritual.

well in god we trust

Many of the remixes became very popular on Youtube and Soundcloud where they were shared

and liked thousands of times.

The popularity of these remixes even gained the attention of mainstream sources who ran

various news stories on the sub culture.

In my opinion this is one of those classic memes that makes me love the internet even

more than I did before, and I love the internet!

I mean if the internet was a girl and If I had just gotten paid and had some money in

my wallet and if it was a Friday night I would take her out to the bar, get some drinks in

her, take her home, watch some netflix and then try to make a move and see what happens,

you know what I'm saying?

so there you have it!

Thomas the tank started off as an 80's children's tv show before gaining new popularity online

30 years later for a completely unrelated reason, making him one dank engine in the

process.

But Hey!

That's the internet for you and on the internet memes are keeng-g-g-g!

Thank you all so very much for watching!

Make sure to subscribe so you can catch my next video and stay up to date on all your

favorite memes!

Who knows you may learn about a meme you never knew about before!

I'll catch you you beautiful people next time!

I got seven Mac-11's, about eight, .38's Nine 9's, ten Mac-10's, the shits never end

You can't touch my riches Even if you had MC Hammer and them 357

Is your Blood Sugar Messing with your Hormones? - Duration: 8:17.

Hi this is Christina from Healthy Steps

NC and about six months ago I found

myself just tearing through the kitchen

looking for something sweet . And as I was

going through a kitchen cabinet for the

fourth time hoping that

something has manifested in there that

was nice and sweet I realized I had out

of control sugar cravings and I needed

to do something about it. So that got me

to do some research about sugar cravings

and what causes them. And what I found out is that we can have sugar cravings for

a couple of reasons. One I'm going to share today is blood sugar levels.

Will, always thought it was people who were diabetic

or you know close to type 2 diabetes

that they they needed to watch out and

keep track of their blood sugar levels.

Now, I was healthy I didn't have to worry

about my blood sugar but it turns out

that it is easy to have uneven blood

sugar levels and pretty much all of us

do. If you've ever had a piece of toast,

if you've ever had a treat you know at

starbucks - those frappuccinos - or

if you've ever been under stress that

those are causes for having uneven blood

sugar levels. And this uneven blood sugar level causes havoc on the body, and I'm going

to share for that I've learned and I got

a lot of this information from the

the internet and articles and one

of them that I that I really enjoyed was

from Women's Health Network.

So what happens to you when you have

uneven sugar levels? Well, number one it

creates more sugar cravings! Right, you're

setting yourself up for a another swing

and more cravings because when your

blood sugar level goes up then you're

going to have that

that crashed right where you get tired

and then you're going to need something

to give you more energy. So you're going

to go for something for

something sweet so then you shoot your

blood sugar goes up again so with that

that cycle that is not good right ok the

other thing that happens to your body

with uneven sugar levels is it makes you

tired and irritable. I have to say I know

that feeling very well. Ok now number

three and I didn't even know because

this is all going on inside your body

that's invisible. Is wacky blood sugar

level mess with your hormones. So, sugar

effects one of your most powerful

hormones and that is insulin and the

insulin and then in turn is affecting your

estrogen and your testosterone so this

is how it works I will make sure I get

this right! OK, so you eat sugar right and

then your insulin spikes when you have a

spike in your insulin it can lead to

lower level of this protein molecule

called SHBG. Now the job of SHGB is to

bind with extra estrogen and

testosterone that's just floating around

in your blood. But, you just lowered that

SHGB with that insulin spike so now

you have this extra estrogen and

testosterone floating around in your

blood. The insulin also increases the

production of testosterone so that is

then converted into more estrogen by

your ear fat tissue in your abdomen. So,

this uneven ratio of estrogen to other

hormones in your in your body can leave

us a feeling irritable, we could have

anxiety and insomnia while all of that

from I'm just having too much sugar. Okay

now there's one more thing that I want

to share, again this is

invisible. Having wacky blood sugar

level affects your adrenal glands too

because when your blood sugar right

makes that dive, it is your adrenal

glands who want to come to the rescue so

when it your blood sugar level is going

down your adrenal glands start kicking

out a bunch of adrenaline and cortisol

to help bring that blood sugar level

back up. And when your cortisol gets out

of balance that causes an increase in

belly fat and also cortisol is the

stress hormone it's been called the "Death

Hormone" before because it does it really

affects our body negatively we don't

want to be pumping out a lot of cortisol.

Okay so those are four ways that our

body is being affected by having wacky

blood sugar levels. So how can you keep

your blood sugar levels instead of being

wacky how can you keep them straight?

Okay so here's four tips. Number one is

you gotta avoid those high sugary foods

and then that white flour because that

just converts right over to sugar and so

things that are sugary or convert to sugar

very fast are called their called, they

have a high glycemic index they turn to

sugar really quick when you eat them. So

instead you need to eat things that have

a very low glycemic index it takes a

long time for your body to to digest

them and they don't turn into sugar

really quick. So that is things like protein

and fiber and vegetable and our healthy

fats. Then we have number three there's a

supplement you can take which is

chromium picolinate that is a supplement

for supporting insulin regulation and

your blood sugar. And then number four is

lower your stress. So stress releases

cortisol which then disturbs our blood

sugar's, our hormones and increases

cravings. Yes so, those are definitely

things to work on so how have things

changed for me know

now that I have really worked on

balancing my blood sugar? Well I am not

tearing apart to kitchen anymore for

sweets and I'm not feeling candy for my

my daughter's candy bag for whatever

holiday was at school, so don't tell her

I used to do that! We still go for for

treats you know we still go for frozen

yogurt as a family it's something we

enjoy, I love frozen yogurt and, but it's a

treat we do it every once awhile it's

not a drive where I have to have it. I have

also noticed that my cycle are easy and

pain-free it's just like any other day.

And then I'm mindful of what I give my

daughter because I don't want her to be

in the same situation I was,

and I was a healthy granola mama before

but now I'm really more mindful about

the sweets that she's getting. And then

number five I am not Dr. Heckle and Dr.

Hyde anymore when I get hungry I get

hungry I don't get hungry and grow horns

and fangs so that I know my family

appreciates and so do I! So I hope this

video was helpful for you if you learned

something new please let me know in the

comments below and if you found it

helpful or if you know somebody else who

you think this could be helpful for

please share it and pass it on! So thanks

so much. This is Christina from Healthy

Steps, where our goal is to support you

in your unique health journey with tips

and techniques and resources. Thanks so

much bye bye!
