Real estate has historically been the best investment for accumulating wealth – particularly in states like Southern California. It's also a great retirement income vehicle. What many people don’t realize is that, over the long term, the greatest gains have been made in pre-developed land, not residential purchases. This is important to recognize given current residential real estate and lending market conditions. Taking advantage of this historical phenomenon takes expertise and resources.
Note I said "pre-developed," not undeveloped land. There is a difference. Most make the mistake of buying a piece of land expecting it will later be purchased at a profit and discover something went wrong. There's a reason they failed. Our real estate firm uses a proven time tested formula for purchasing and selling pre-developed land in the growth path of major population centers. The foundation of our customer’s success is based on our long-term appreciation strategy. Holding periods are typically 5 to 10 years. The median investment is about $60,000 but can be as low as $7,000. We can also help you roll eligible retirement funds into this investment, which is a perfect match for the tax benefits of IRAs and 401ks. In many cases, we can structure your holdings to be free of any capital gains tax once it's sold. It also works well for direct (non-qualified) investments.The current stock and mutual fund market is extremely volatile and unpredictable. If you have money invested in this market, chances are . . . you are losing money. How long until the market picks up again and how much do you stand to lose? Even if the market rises later on down the road the interest you earn will be based on a (considerably?) lower balance. Who wants to start over?This is a long-term and non-liquid investment—we generally recommend 100% of an individual’s retirement funds be rolled into real estate – true diversification is to own multiple parcels. If this looks like it might be appropriate alternative for you, please feel free to contact me for more information.
"Ninety percent of all millionaires become so through owning real estate. More money has been made in real estate than in all industrial investments combined. The wise young man or wage earner of today invests his money in real estate." - Andrew Carnegie
"It's tangible. It's solid. It's beautiful. It's artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate." - Donald Trump
"No investment on earth is so safe, so sure, so certain to enrich its owners as undeveloped realty. I always advise my friends to place their savings in realty near a growing city. There is no such savings bank anywhere." - Grover Cleveland
In addition to helping investors, we also accommodate those individuals who wish to roll over their IRAs, old 401k's and qualified retirement plans from the under-performing stock market into our select California real estate located in the growth path of major metropolitan centers...without cash, no penalties, and with the same tax deferment benefits (or pay no tax with a Roth IRA). Your ownership is fee simple with a recorded grant deed and insured with a title policy.
The following reflects our objectives:
Show customers how to build their fortunes for retirement, without having to heavily depend on Social Security and retirement monies invested in the stock market
Help investors and retirement strategists roll over their retirement plans from the volatile stock market into profitable, carefully chosen California real estate.
