Building Wealth and Freedom Through Multifamily Investing

Experienced investors understand that intelligently investing in multifamily real estate is an excellent way to enhance security through retirement. Unfortunately, many people who don’t have experience with real estate investing have fear and other reasons preventing them from doing so, which causes them to put their money into a 401(k), IRA, or mutual funds. Others discover real estate investing after having already contributed to a Roth IRA, IRA or other retirement account for many years and wish they could somehow use that money to invest in real estate.

I have good news for these people! What many don’t realize is that money in these and other types of retirement accounts can be deployed into real estate investments. Not everyone knows how to do this, but we have many investors who do this and grow their wealth by doing so. There are tools such as Self-Directed IRA’s, eQRPs, and Solo 401(k)s that one can transfer money into, which allow this capability. Reach out to us about how to do this if you have questions, and look for a future blog from us on this topic.

An interesting fact that many people do not know is that the wealthiest people invest in real estate and most of that is commercial real estate, such as apartments. If you want to go beyond “just enough” for retirement, and strive for financial freedom and true wealth, apartment investing is one of the best ways to get there. If you want to be wealthy, do what the wealthy do!

Passive investing in real estate offers many financial levers. Tax advantages, depreciation, appreciation and cash flow are all advantages of investing in real estate. But why do the wealthiest people invest in commercial multifamily, a.k.a. apartments? Why do banks, insurance companies and private equity companies invest in commercial multifamily real estate? The answer is because this is one of the single best ways to build massive wealth.

Investing in syndicated deals as a passive investor is attractive to people who are busy, have little time, or have no interest in managing deals, tenants, vendors and operations. You can passively invest in many syndications for as little as $50K. This type of investment is backed by a physical asset, and offers all of the advantages of a real estate investment, including tax benefits, and cash flow. Investors typically receive quarterly dividends and share in the profit when the asset is sold. One of the biggest advantages of passively investing in a syndication is access to a deal that performs better than what an individual could do on their own.

A common question is: “Is commercial real estate something I can invest in, or do I have to be wealthy to have access to this kind of investment?” Fortunately, companies like Dreamstone Investments make these types of investments available to smart, qualified investors who understand the value of investing in commercial multifamily. It is very important that investors are educated on whatever they choose to invest in, so Dreamstone also helps people educate themselves and prepare themselves to invest in the future.
