Lower your Risks with Commercial Real Estate Investing

How Alan Greenspan can jack up your Investing Risks

Remember this spring when the stock market tanked. In just 24 hours...

Former FED Chairman Greenspan uttered the "R" word - Recession

* China stocks blew up while you were in bed

* 416 points fell right off the Dow Jones

* AND every other stock index worldwide tripped and fell just as hard

Bottom line is $583 Billion in wealth evaporated in a single day - in the US alone, because of one retired government official saying one word.

Despite this overnight meltdown, your investment advisors probably tell you that stocks and bonds are much more risky than direct Commercial Real Estate Investing. Try telling that to the people who lost half their net worth in the Dot-Com crash.

I just smile and remember the benefits of being a "Greenspan-Proof" Real Estate Investor ...

*You Know Your Profit When You Buy*

You can use Excel to create a proforma that will tell you almost exactly what profit to expect ... before you even buy the property.

You can pencil out your plan to improve the property, raise the rents, lower expenses and get a pretty good bead on the value of the property given the resulting increase in cash flow.

*Predictable Cash Flow Lets You Rest Easy*

You get a check every month, no matter what happened in Alan Greenspan's latest press conference.

That flow of cash comes from processes you can understand and predict. Rent minus expenses. AND you can raise the rents and lower the expenses to force appreciation of your property - that's on top of the income... cool.

*Leverage Like No Other Investment*

You can buy $100 in property for $20 down and it doesn't even have to be your money.

Imagine telling your broker you would like to purchase $10,000 in stocks using $2000 in money you raised from your lawyer friend next door. They simply would not know how to respond.

Yet you can raise $200K from friends and purchase a $1M piece of Commercial Real Estate in any city - any where in the country.

*Save On Your Taxes*

Name me any other investment that can get you a tax write off year after year - for decades mind you - while it goes UP in value. You have to love Depreciation.

Look at Mutual Funds for a contrast. There you can owe taxes even though the fund lost money in that year. Now that's safety for you.

So when you are sifting through deal after deal, looking for the property that is going to make you good money year after year, just remember all the benefits of direct ownership of real estate.

Ignore what the Stock Market Talking Heads are Saying

Take your leverage, your cash flow, your depreciation and the fact you can reach out and touch your asset .... all the way to the bank.

And at night, when you are ready for bed, you can forget about the market's ups and downs and sleep well knowing your assets are in real estate.
