When you are ready to take the plunge and start hiking, it’s crucial to ensure you are making the right beginner steps for your safety and overall experience. Hiking trails come in different lengths and terrains. If you are a beginner, start out with an easy trail to get to know your fitness level.

After choosing a trail, gather a map of the entire area and start reviewing data and reports that can be found online. It’s beneficial to find out if you will need to backtrack, have someone waiting for you at the end, or if the trail is a loop. Looking at the map closely and identifying any intersecting trails is essential before venturing out.

Sean Zarinegar is president and CEO of American Housing Income Trust, Inc. in Phoenix, Arizona, where he has formed multiple successful business partnerships. During his downtime, Sean Zarinegar enjoys gardening.

When starting a vegetable garden, you must decide what you want to grow. Research which vegetables do well in your area and begin growing the garden in small beds or even containers. This ensures a healthy vegetable patch, and is especially useful when you are short on space.

Location is crucial. You must know the patterns of the wind and sun. A successful garden requires five to eight hours of sunlight. Wind can dry out crops or worse, damage them. To block wind, build a fence or grow your vegetables near one. You need to also ensure that there’s a nearby water source as vegetables require a lot of water.

American Housing Income Trust’s Conversion to Publicly Traded Company

Sean Zarinegar is an entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in the real estate asset management sphere. He presently guides American Housing Income Trust (AHIT) as president and CEO. In June of 2015, Sean Zarinegar and privately held American Realty Partners (ARP) executive team announced their conversion of the Phoenix-based company into publicly traded, Maryland-incorporated AHIT.

Over the years, ARP engaged with investors nationwide in building a diversified portfolio of single-family home rental properties (SFHR), with a focus on the Phoenix market. Buoyed by recovery factors, the SFHR market has grown into a $2.7 trillion market in the decade since the 2007-2008 financial crisis began.

Pushing values higher is the preference of many families to reside in homes rather than multifamily complexes. Renting is often seen as a strategic move by families who have not been able to obtain mortgages and want to retain a full spectrum of options.

As AHIT, the company has benefited from a sustained recovery from market lows and maintains a revenue model based on collecting rent as underlying property values appreciate. As Mr. Zarinegar describes it, the firm thrives on having an in-depth understanding of housing dynamics at the regional, local, and nationwide levels.

As the president and CEO of American Housing Income Trust Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona, Sean Zarinegar has over twenty years of experience in real estate. Aside from his work responsibilities, Sean Zarinegar is also an outdoorsman who enjoys hiking and camping. If you’re planning a hike or camping trip in a hot desert environment such as Phoenix, having the proper attire is crucial.

Your first instinct may be to grab the shorts and tank top, but that would not be a wise move. For hiking in hot environments, you will want to cover yourself as much as possible with light, airy clothing. Cotton is a good choice because it is a breathable material, which will help keep you cool. Just like your shirt, you’ll want to wear long pants to protect your legs from sunburn.

A wide-brimmed hat is a good idea for keeping the sun off your face and neck. A pair of sunglasses not only protects your eyes from the sun but also serves as a shield against desert sand, should the wind pick up. When walking on rocky or uneven terrain, hiking boots with ankle support prove safer than standard hiking shoes.

The clothes you wear while hiking can make as much of a difference as any of the other gear you take with you, so plan and dress appropriately for the environment.

Sean Zarinegar is the president and CEO of American Housing Income Trust, Inc. (www.ahitrust.com) in Phoenix, Arizona. When he is not working, Sean Zarinegar helps others in his community with home projects and enjoys gardening and landscaping.

You don’t need a sprawling yard to have your own garden. Use these three space-saving DIY gardening tips to make the most out of the space you do have.

1. Tool Storage – If you need space to hang gardening tools, cut the head off of a rake and hang it on the wall. For smaller tools, consider hanging an old mailbox near the garden so you’ll always have your tools handy.

2. Shoe Organizer Planter – Take an over-the-door closet shoe organizer and fill the shoe pouches with soil. Plant your favorite vegetables or herbs in the holes to build yourself a vertical garden.

3. Repurposed Dresser – Convert an old dresser into a planter by using the drawers as beds. Pull the bottom drawer out the farthest and the top drawer out the least to maximize space. Support the lower drawer by placing bricks or wood underneath it to hold it up.

American Housing Income Trust (AHIT) founder and CEO Sean Zarinegar possesses over two decades of investment and business management experience in real estate, construction, and finance and marketing. Aside from his professional obligations to the Phoenix, Arizona-based company, Sean Zarinegar enjoys hiking and exploring various trails. Hiking in Arizona can present many dangers to inexperienced hikers and the following list includes tips for staying safe on the trail.

1. Plan ahead. Thoroughly prepare and research before hitting the trail, such as becoming familiar with the trail terrain and level of difficulty, and checking weather conditions. Although Arizona summers tend to have dry heat, temperatures can quickly spike and become deadly. Plan your hikes for cooler days or during the early mornings and late evenings and wear lots of sunscreen.

2. Pace yourself. Avoid walking at a speed that leaves you gasping for air, as it prevents your body from getting enough oxygen and may make you feel sluggish and sick. To preserve your energy reserves, walk at a pace that allows you to talk.

3. Drink lots of water. Eat a healthy breakfast before embarking on your hike and remember to drink lots of water. The Arizona Department of Health Services reports that nearly 2,000 people visit the emergency room for heat-related illness on an annual basis. It is recommended that you drink about one to two liters of water per hour spent outdoors.

4. Don’t hike alone. Consider taking a friend with you on or your hike or join a local hiking group. You can also hike with your dog and take extra precaution by alerting someone of where you plan to hike and your estimated time of return.

5. Watch for rattlesnakes. Most rattlesnake encounters will pass without incident, however, careless hikers who travel off-trail or ignore the snake’s warning signs may get bit. Stay on the trail, watch your step, and do not approach or antagonize any rattlesnakes you do encounter. Admire from a safe distance and continue on your way.
