5 Factors Make Real Estate the IDEAL Investment:

I - Income

  • Receive cash in-hand, monthly. YOU make the decisions affecting the profitability of your income-producing asset. You've officially reached 'boss' status.

D - Depreciation

  • Earn more, pay less. Effectively utilizing 'loop holes', in regards to property ownership, grants flexibility. Remember the old adage, "a penny saved is a penny earned".

E - Equity

  • Increase ownership for free. Happy tenants pay you, you pay the mortgage. The principal balance shrinks as equity rises. Get excited.

A - Appreciation

  • Relax as property values mature. Owners appreciate their properties with rent increases, property repairs, home additions, etc. Forced appreciation. Properties also experience market appreciation - population growth, increased employment opportunities, and area beautification. It's not 1 way to do 50 things but 50 ways to do 1 thing, in this case, put more money in your pockets.

L - Leverage

  • Feel great spending other people's money. Acquire properties through mortgages. A maximum 20% down payment for total control, an exceptional deal. Anyone can prosper from this unbalanced transfer of ownership. Yet another benefit, BOOM!
