WHY REAL ESTATE IS YOUR BEST INVESTMENT
More than 90% of all millionaires have made their wealth in real estate. They purchased property, often just raw land, held it through the ups and downs of normal market fluctuations, and in most cases sold at a substantial profit.
Just think about what property values were just 10, 20, 30 years ago. In many areas of the country you could have bought property for a fifth or even a tenth of what it is selling for today.
What makes real estate such a great wealth builder is that it can often be purchased with only a small percentage of its value down, sometimes for as little as 10%, but you receive the total, that's 100%, of the properties appreciation. You can't do this with stocks, bonds, art, antiques or collectables.
Real Estate is just about the best means of leveraging your financial investment.
They're not making any more land but the population of this great nation continues to grow at an ever faster pace. When the 13 colonies first formed the United States of America in 1776 the total population of the country was just about 5 million, by 1900 it had grown to over 100 million, by 1966 it had increased to over 200 million and on October 17, 2006, occording to the U.S. censes, it crossed the 300 million mark.
Land is the most basic and secure form of wealth. You can grow something on it to feed yourself, you can build on it for shelter, you can rent it or lease it for an income and often times you can trade or sell it for a substanial profit and then buy more.
Would you like to know what else is driving this tremendous appreciation in real estate values? It's these great Baby Boomers, those born between 1946 and 1960. There are some 77 million of them moving toward retirement.
Not only have most of them worked hard, bought homes that have appreciated tremendously, and invested smart, but they also stand to inherit something over 11 trillion dollars from their also hard working and smart parents who are now moving on to quieter, greener pastures and leaving their own, now senior kids, with handsome financial inheritances.
Where will most of this inherited and retirement money go? You guessed it, real estate. Sure, some will go into stocks, bonds, art, antiques, collectables, and a bunch will be enjoyed with travel and good living, but if there is one lesson these smart boomers learned through their own lives and from their parents is that their best investment returns were in real estate.
Where will these boomers be putting their real estated investment dollars? In areas with the fastest growth and greatest appreciation; in places with plenty of sunshine and mild winters. The fastest growing section of the country is the Southwestern "sunbelt" states of Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas and California, the growth states. This is where property values will skyrocket. This is a prime time to buy land in the Southwest, and this a great time to buy land in Paradise Ranch.
