Real estate investing

5th December 2020

You’ve been searching for a wealth-building strategy you can trust. One that’s simple and straightforward. One that’s life-changing for you and your family. One that can offer you a financial breakthrough now AND set you on a clear path to long-term wealth.
 

Above all, you’re looking for a strategy that flat out works. That strategy the one you’ve been searching for could very well be real estate investing.
 

Real estate happens to be the #1 alternative asset trusted and owned by the overwhelming majority of millionaires. But it’s not just a game that millionaires play.

You can play too. Starting today.

What’s So Special About Real Estate?

Chances are, you’re familiar with more than a few traditional investment methods like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, simple savings, and investment accounts. While these are go to methods have long dominated the landscape, they don’t hold a candle to real estate investing.

No matter how you slice it no matter the market, no matter the economic climate, no matter your experience level or budget coming in real estate investing makes sense. Let’s break it down:
 

REAL ESTATE VS STOCKS

Everyone knows someone who’s done well in the stock market. Over the last 70-plus years, the best performing stocks have generated significant returns, often double-digits year after year. In fact, the average rate of return for the stock market was 7% between 1950 and 2009.

Not too shabby.

But building wealth with stocks is by no means a guarantee.

In 2017, 168 of the 500 “S&P 500” stocks declined.

40 of those 168 declined by at least 20%.

Even modest investors have likely experienced the ups and downs and have seen first-hand the volatility in the marketplace. Even though you’re a “stakeholder,” the minute you buy a share, you have limited control over what happens next.

Between a company’s executives, majority stake owners, marketplace shifts and overarching economic twists and turns, there are countless forces influencing how your shares perform. From the moment you invest money in stocks, you’re at the mercy of the market.

Not so with real estate investments.

Whether you wholesale, rehab, buy and hold or tap into some other powerhouse strategy, YOU call the shots from which properties to invest in . . . to which renovations to tackle . . . to what exit strategy to employ.

Sure, the market will dictate some aspects of your short and long-term valuation and profits. But for the most part, you’re in the driver’s seat.

It’s the opposite of playing the stock market.

Since 2000, real estate has outperformed the stock market by 2 to 1 (10.71% for real estate investments versus 5.43% for stocks).

By taking charge of your investments and not relying solely on the market and the decisions of others, you’re better positioned to profit—and that’s key to lasting wealth and financial freedom.

REAL ESTATE VS BONDS

Bonds can be a safe bet in exchange for that safety, though, you’ll be generating lower returns over time.

By committing to a fixed rate of interest, you commit to the same low rates of return.

The perks are clear, but so are the downfalls. Inflation is never a consideration, meaning your returns actually decline in value over time. Who cares if your bond is giving you a 2% return when inflation is 3%. You’re still losing!

Plus, if the market spikes, you have no chance of reaping benefits. Flip or rent your property at the right moment in time, and it’s easy to generate a significant ROI—income that naturally grows with inflation and ongoing economic upturns.

REAL ESTATE VS GOLD & SILVER

While it’s a completely different investing platform, gold is similar to bonds in that it’s conservative, reliable, and more focused on wealth preservation versus growth.

But with gold, you can’t spend a little, and leverage the whole. You can’t pay 20% down on gold and own more of it.

Gold isn’t going to bring you any income. You can’t rent out your gold for cash the way you can with real estate.

Finally, gold isn’t going to help your taxes.

As with other traditional investments, there’s no leverage, no cash flow, and no tax advantages.

REAL ESTATE VS CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CDS)

Like bonds, you’re committing to a fixed rate of return over time—there’s no room for appreciation or increased profits.

While some CDs deliver upwards of 6%, a three-year standard CD is paying less than 0.5% right now. That’s virtually nothing if you’re looking to grow your wealth.

Invest in real estate and you can expect upwards of 4% appreciation per year on average, plus 8% to 12% in annual returns if you rent out your property.
