Wealth is a Choice; What do people invest in Now!

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Wealth is a choice; what do people invest in now?  You can ponder this question for many hours!  What is the stock market doing and is it a safe investment?  Can I invest in other currencies and make money as the dollar declines, or that currency increases in value?  Can I invest in real estate and make money in today’s market?   You can probably think of about another hundred questions that people are having in this economy.

Wealth is a choice.  As I was reading another blog from the dealjoiner.com I was thinking of what a great idea he really has.  How many real estate investors use private money to make their deals happen? In buying single family homes,   some  give 10%, 15% or 20%  returns for their private money investors, they are  saying that they would double each persons money in the development they are doing.  Because they think they can pay each investor back within two years.  They  figured it out to be a 77.9% return on the investor’s money.  That sounds like a great investment to me in these economical times.

Wealth is a choice, I do not know anyone even in a good economy that was willing to pay 77.9% return on people’s money in two years. I understand the ideas because by doing it this way they can secure their money through liens on the property equal to double their investment, pretty smart concept I think. They talk about using a Roth IRA that is self directed to invest in this, and there are companies out there like Entrust that manage these Roth IRA’s for people.  I would called that building wealth by giving someone double their investment back. That means if you put in $100,000 you will get 200,000 back in two years or less, and even if it took them two and a half years to pay it back it would still be better than any return you can get in this economy.

And by giving you leans against a property equal to double your investment means to me you really cannot lose.  Because the land prices have almost hit rock bottom now, and it only will go back up in coming years.  And with all the development done, roads, electric, sewer system, etc., you now have a very valuable piece of property you’re holding liens against. The dealjoiner understands this and that’s why he’s willing to double each investors money.  So wealth is a choice, have you made that choice?  Are you looking for investments like this to build your wealth?

Wealth is a Choice Build it through Real Estate

Wealth is a choice and one way to build wealth is through real estate.   There are many people out in the world teaching on real estate investing.  You can buy foreclosed properties and try to rehab them and sell them.  With foreclosures you can also buy them and sell them and carry back the paper for monthly income. People will teach you how you can buy properties and  flip them for quick cash profit, or another term is ” wholesale the properties”.  Then you can talk about commercial properties where one deal can change your life.

I believe the one thing that holds most people back from doing real estate investing is the money. The other thing is not being able to sell the house once they fix it up in a market like today. There is so many details to learn in real estate investing and that’s why so many people sell the courses they do.  Once you choose to be a real estate investor you really must focus on it for years just as wealth is a choice and you must make that choice every day.

One way people raise money to do real estate deals is through private investors.  Some give the investors 10 to 20% return on their money.  So how do you go about raising private money?  There are many courses on this also and teaching material you can buy. The truth is that I think 2% of every one that buys courses on real estate or raising private money actually puts the systems to work.  I will be  breaking down the real estate information  in a lot more detail in future blogs.

As I have decided to raise private money for a development I am working on.  That is another website from this one because this is about wealth is a choice and a mindset.  Just like everything in life is really a choice that we make each day, we can choose to have good days and we can choose to have bad days.  But most of the time life itself seems to determine what kind of day we have, but the truth is it was our choices we made throughout that day that made it good or bad.
