Investing in precious metals is a bad idea at the moment as you'll be buying in towards the top of a recent run up - the gold/silver bubble will burst on June 30th (or thereabouts) when QE2 ends - you'd be better off buying dividend paying stocks in resource rich economies like Australia, Brazil, or your own home country, Canada.I personally use the preffered stock ETF (ticker: PFF) you get a monthly check and a nearly 7.5% yield and you do 0 leg work.

County property records show California investors have bought the most properties here, but investors from the East Coast and down to Florida also are snatching up properties.Even foreign investors are in on it: from Asia, Australia and Europe.

I come from Australia so I understand rules and laws will be different.My partner and I are currently looking at investing in an apartment run by a hotel management chain (Ibis, Nova Stargate Hotel, Etc), however the properties hold long term leases.Apart from the BodyCorp fees being higher than normal properties, we feel this is a good strategy to enter into the property market.

It was in South Australia, Flinders Ranges 1963. 5 acres to feed one head until we drilled for water as droughts could last for several years.Because of the geo-thermals the water would come out of the ground warm enough to shower in & you had to remove the hard water scale from the shower head constantly.The windmills would pump the water & also generate the power to charge our household batteries for power.

This particular investmentcouple lives in Perth, Australia and they paid cash for the deal.Who said the world doesn't need what we have?

If you have enough money, you can buy Australia for example or other countries and design them anyway you want!
