Lower your Risks with Commercial Real Estate Investing
Risk is the Enemy - Greenspan is the Devil
Last month the stock market scared a lot of people. In the span of just 24 hours...
The "R" word - "Recession" came out of Alan Greenspan's mouth
* Asian markets held an overnight meltdown
* 416 points fell right off the Dow Jones
* AND every other index around the world followed over the edge like so many lemmings
Bottom line is $583 Billion in wealth evaporated in a single day - in the US alone, because of one retired government official saying one word.
Now your stock broker will still tell you the markets are safe despite these "fluctuations" and try to convince you that Real Estate Investing is much more risky. It is the same tune they sang while the markets went through the Dot-Bomb melt down.
I just smile and remember the benefits of being a "Greenspan-Proof" Real Estate Investor ...
*You Count Your Profits on the Buy*
When you buy at the right price and execute on your business plan, you know what profit you will make when you buy.
You can research property values, expected rents and all the other variables involved and get a very good idea of the price you can sell at given the increase in cash flow you can force.
*Predictable Cash Flow Lets You Rest Easy*
You get a check every month, no matter what happened in Alan Greenspan's latest press conference.
The cash flow depends on things you can know about and are pretty darn fixed - rent, mortgage and fixed expenses. And many of them you can improve to drive appreciation of the underlying property IN ADDITION TO your income.
*Leverage Like No Other Investment*
You can buy $100 in property for $20 down and it doesn't even have to be your money.
Imagine telling your broker you would like to purchase $10,000 in stocks using $2000 in money you raised from your lawyer friend next door. They simply would not know how to respond.
Yet you can bring $200K of your investor's cash to a deal and buy a $1M piece of investment property any day of the week.
*Tax Bennies*
You won't find another investment where your appreciation and income are sheltered by an automatic tax deduction. AND it all happens while the property itself goes up and up in value. Depreciation is your friend.
Look at Mutual Funds for a contrast. There you can owe taxes even though the fund lost money in that year. Now that's safety for you.
So when you are doing your due diligence and making the contacts that will bring a good piece of property into your portfolio, remember the unique benefits of Commercial Real Estate Investing and know you are eliminating some major risks to your wealth.
Ignore what the Stock Market Talking Heads are Saying
Take your leverage, your cash flow, your depreciation and the fact you can reach out and touch your asset .... all the way to the bank.
And at night, when you are ready for bed, you can forget about the market's ups and downs and sleep well knowing your assets are in real estate.
Thinking about investing money in the major markets any time soon? - Think again. Learn how Commercial Property Investment can increase your Cash Flow and Safety.
