Have you considered what the new american dream is? The american dream used to be owning your own property outright, maybe a car or two, a white picket fence in a good location living on a descent income. There is one problem with this picture. What happens when you retire and your income decreases or stays the same and inflation continues to happen?
Let us tell you the story of Gertrude. She retired on a fixed income. Her income will never increase and yet the prices of homes, rents, groceries, and commodities have continually increased over her life time. She has now been priced out of her apartment and she no longer knows where to live.
You need an income that grows with inflation. Real Estate is the perfect hedge against inflation.
If your money is sitting in a bank account making 0% interest then it’s decreasing in value. You can put that to work by lending on deals. Talk to us about options for putting your money to work!
Do you have a 401K or an IRA? You can put your retirement money to work for you as well. Some mutual funds have very poor returns. Talk to us about the kind of rates that we could get you in on with real estate investing.
Another great way to get into real estate is tapping into the equity you already have in your current property. Talk to us about using a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to pay your home off faster while also investing in real estate to increase your wealth.
The new American dream is financial independence. It’s to have assets that pay for all your expenses. This allows you to free up your time to do what you want, with who you want, where you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want.
Take control of your retirement! Increase your income. Create cashflow. Hedge yourself for success in a world that is continually inflating.
