Most individuals invest in different types of assets such as stocks, bonds, investment vehicles and usually ignore real estate. The only type of real estate that most people buy is their own home. And for most people this is the best investment in the long run. Paper investments (stocks, bonds, and investment vehicles) are like a yoyo. Sometimes it is up, sometimes it is down and many times it reaches zero. If you’re playing with stock margins, sometimes your investments drop BELOW zero.

You can choke on those kinds of assets. Imagine being in debt from your investments that are supposed to grow your money but on top of losing your own money, you wind up owing more money as debt. This is absurd. All this unnecessary risk just to get a percentage return on your investment. Walls Street has made it very easy for you to, not only loose all your money, but to wind up going into debt, all because you have a desire to grow your hard earned money.

Take charge of your life and grow your money in the time tested way that has worked for people since civilization began. Remember that Wall Street is only 120 years old and real estate investing is 10,000 years old. When it comes to protecting your hard earned money and growing your investment always chase the steak and not the sizzle.

Real estate contains an aspect that paper assets do not. Paper goods are just a contract. It is an agreement between two people that something has value. There is nothing tangible in it. The value of this paper investment can be altered as quickly as the agreement behind it is altered. This is a great risk to your money and your future.

Real estate is tangible. It is real. It is not the latest financial fad or what seems to be shiny at the moment. Be part of something solid. Your money deserves to be treated respect the greatest of care and the best allocation. The sound investment strategy is for your investment to:

1) Be There (not go to zero, or worse)
2) To Grow
3) To Provide you with a Solid Foundation for your Retirement.

“Playing” the Stock Market (within the Why Real Estate tab as a continuation in the writeup)
We hear people say “play the stock market” or “play investment vehicles or the bond market.” Real Investors don’t gamble. Investors take their investments very seriously. They don’t play with their future. Your well-being, at a later age, is dependent on making wise and strategic strategies now during your best earning years. As astute investors, it is best to analyze the risks, build sound strategies and take the best set of actions to have a very sound retirement. That’s why you need an appropriate vehicle to get you there. That vehicle is land.
