Why Real Estate? There are so many reasons to own real estate. Andrew Carnegie, the steel tycoon, once observed, "Of all millionaires, ninety percent became so through owning real estate." He went on to advise: "The wise young man or wage earner should invest his money in real estate." With an average annual growth of 12% over the last 65 years, real estate continues to have one of the best track records of any investment vehicle. One of the more attractive features of the real estate industry is that there are so many ways you can profit by leveraging your purchasing power. By learning and applying proper strategies, you can control properties and earn profits even if you have LITTLE OR NO MONEY.

The real estate market revolves around creative buying, selling, leasing, owner financing, exchanging, debt restructuring and literally endless creative ways to close the deal.

Real estate investing provides many ways for building and maintaining significant wealth. You can earn profits in real estate through appreciation, depreciation, equity building, income/cash flow, and tax advantages.

Leveraging is a tool investors use to control a property with little of their own capital. By finding the flexible sellers and locating the bargain properties with excellent financing so the money partners are interested in the deal. You have invested or "leveraged" something you may have abundance of (your time) for something you have little of (cash flow). Real estate investing has always been about terms and conditions not just location, location, and location!
