You cannot save your way to wealth - you can only invest your way to wealth This handbook is dedicated to everyone who is fed up with the stock market, mutual funds, tech bubbles, option trades, day trading, fund and financial advisors, t-bills, money market funds, savings account interest, bank fees, life insurance investments and almost every other type of investing - except you own small or medium sized enterprise, one you own and control, and real estate. Why do so many wealthy families have substantially all their wealth invested in real estate? Well, it's the one asset class that does not run away when the going gets tough, and it protects you and your family in three important ways: by protecting against inflation; by forcing you to save money every month as you pay off the principal on your mortgages; and by boosting your available cash flow. Owning your own home and place of business, investing in or developing your own rental property - both commercial and residential - and buying land are the only things most people can do to provide for themselves as they age. And they need to since almost no one, outside of the government sector, has a defined benefit pension plan anymore. After reading this handbook, you will know a lot more about how to evaluate and take advantage of real estate opportunities, whether you are an experienced real estate entrepreneur or developer, or a novice homeowner and beginner investor.
