WHY
INVEST?
The
reason for investing is different for everyone. You may want to build
enough of a capital nest so that you can provide you and your family
a better way of life. You may want to create a fund for retirement,
children's college, or weddings and so on. You may also want to achieve
financial freedom as an investor. For many, the reason for investing
is to take control of your financial life. It is about becoming financially
independent and enjoying the abundance of what life offers. It is the
creation of your path for yourself rather than being controlled by the
world around you.
Investments
involves a certain amount of risks. As you may well know, incurring
greater risks entails greater rewards. As an investor, you minimize
those risks by due diligence so that you can oversee potential profits
beyond the risks. Investing is not about becoming rich overnight. More
importantly, it is a long term commitment and devotion of hard work.
You have to learn, analyze, and understand. If you have the desire to
achieve financial freedom as an real estate investor, you have to be
a real estate entrepreneur. You have to build your knowledge, experience
and develop intuition with a great desire in mind.
REAL
ESTATE AS A INVESTMENT VEHICHLE
Investments
in real estate is certainly less volatile than stocks. As we have seen
in a declining stock market the last few years, many have lost money
in stocks. However, investments in real estate remained a safe haven
where there has been a steady appreciation. In addition. investments
in real estate provides the risk from inflation whereas, conservative
fixed income investments do not. The buying power of cash depreciates,
the more time passes by. If you have $10,000 cash for 20 years, the
value won't be the same. Real estate, however, rises in value with inflation.
So it's value will not decrease as if it would with cash in 20 years.
Real estate investments also has the advantages of tax deductions and
write offs giving investors the opportunities to utilize creative strategies
in order to maximize their profits. All in all, sound investments in
real estate have provided many with incredible financial independence
and security.
