Real Estate Investing Course and FAQ:

Some Quick Tips And Warnings -

One of the main reasons people look to real estate is to establish positive cash flow.  In fact, it is very possible to create a cash flow equivalent or even more than the cash you get from working your 9-5.  Before you go and try it though, you should look out for expenses and other things that may eat into your checks like vacancies, costs for repairs and property management fees.
   
Another reason many people look to real estate to create wealth is appreciation.  It's simple supply and demand:  as the population grows exponentially, there's limited places where people can live.  In today's market, it's not impossible to expect a 4% rate of return.
   
Talk to your accountant about something called 'Schedule E' to take advantage of tax benefits.  Today, residential properties can be written off in 27.5 years and commercial properties can be written off in 39 years.  Also, often times, the capital gains tax is less than income tax.
   
As you're paying off your real estate investment, you're also building equity in the real estate.  Anyone with a mortgage can attest to the fact that as time goes on, they're paying less money to pay the interest and more money to the principal.
