Real Estate Investing 101

It’s a fact.  Wealthy people invest.  They learn to put their money to work for them instead of the other way around.  Simply put, investing is the act of placing money in financial vehicles with potential for growth much greater than a bank savings account or bonds.

You must first educate yourself in order to become a smart investor.  Investing strategically is the key to lowering your risk & ensuring long term success.

One of the biggest benefits of investing is how it can help you beat inflation.  Recently the inflation rate was at about 2%.  You must grow your money faster than inflation if you care to preserve your hard earned savings.  Most banks only pay about 1% which is why many people who rely on these low returns are in trouble.  The smartest way to accomplish this is by leveraging proven investing strategies & models.  

Our favorite investment vehicle is also one of the safest and most lucrative.  Most wealthy people throughout history have invested in Real Estate and/or added to their portfolios in some capacity.  One advantage of investing in Real Estate is that you do not need any license or degree to get started.  Although this helps, you will still need education & the determination to do what it takes to apply that knowledge along the way.
