Have you been thinking that you should invest in rental property to create or grow wealth?

Has the slow shift in media coverage about the housing recovery convinced you that now it is “safe” to own rental property again?

Or has the idea of investing in real estate always been in the back of your mind but you just never knew how to get started or when you did look into it you were scared away by all the complexities?

If you answered yes, then I’m speaking to you!

It’s a sad reality that in the last 100 years the ownership of real estate by average people like you and me has literally flipped.

In fact the percent of people who own their home in the United States is currently at its lowest point since the 1970s.

In the early 1900’s roughly 97% of average citizens owned their own homes, farms, land, stores, factories etc…

Today, however the number of people who own their own house, land, or income producing real estate is at a miserable 3%!!

So what happened?

In my article The Original Retirement Plan I discuss how the industrial revolution drove people from ownership and entrepreneurial footings to working for someone else’s dream in exchange for a “retirement”.

Many of you know that your day job is creating and sustaining someone else’s fortune and not your own.

So why would investing in real estate be a good thing?

Today, more so than any other time in history, there are hundreds of thousands of professionals within many industries that have grown up in support of real estate in general and investing in it more specifically.

In addition to the sheer popularity of it, the current market offers deals that we haven’t seen since the Great Depression! The world’s very first billionaire became the “B” word because of real estate.

Real estate has made more people financially independent than any other asset class in history. What’s more, the business model is super simple and this asset is something you know lots about already.

The opportunity exists. Industry professionals are abundant. The market is fantastic and you want in, right?

So what’s holding you back?

You don’t want to deal with renters? You think you need to be an expert before you can safely navigate these “risky” waters? Or maybe you feel you don’t have the money or time.

Maybe you don’t see the value in buying a property renting it out over 30 years and pouring money into it every so often just to keep it rent ready?

You know what? I totally agree with you! On almost every point!

You don’t have to be the expert or have tons of money!

I’ll tell you exactly how I have been able to invest in rental property in five different states! I am an average income earner at my day job, I have OK credit, I am NOT an expert, yet I am successfully transacting profitable real estate deals all over the country!

I’ll soon be happily unemployed thanks to my investments!

How can this be, you ask?

I decided in 2004 that I was going to invest in real estate no matter what.

I also knew that I needed a team of experts who could help guide me past the pitfalls many newbies make!

I had gone to a seminar once in mid 2004 where one of the speakers said that I could hire him for $5,000. He then would hold my hand an walk me through my first deal.

I was sold, but I soon left the country for two years to serve mission for my church. When I  got home in 2007  I looked him up, but while I was doing that I heard of a similar but different approach that resonated much more with what I wanted.

Not just one person to help me but a whole team!

The Power Team of Experts!

I heard of a group of over 200 professionals in the real estate industry and supporting industries who seamlessly work together acquiring top performing single family investment grade real estate for their clients!

I learned from tons of reading and investigation that the number one most difficult thing in order to successfully invest in real estate was building a competent team of professionals around you to facilitate and advise your very important investing decisions.

What I found was that this team DOES ALL THE WORK FOR ME while I call the shots after being tutored by people who are doing what I want to do!

Frankly, I was blown away. Every other seminar or guru I have ever attended and studied were all selling information.

Not a single one of them were actually committed to my success by actually walking me through every transaction.

All of the concerns, doubts, and excuses I had before were completely gone. This was and is a game changer. I know many many people family, friends, acquaintances etc.. whose lives have been changed for the better because of this opportunity.

I scheduled my Free Game Plan where they created a customized step-by-step actionable plan with my stats and goals in mind. While going over my game plan I decided to hire them as my personal investment power team!

Where am I now?

That was over four years ago. Since then I have witnessed countless people’s lives change for the better because they decided to invest in rental property the right way with the right team.

I have purchased many homes all of which have produced excellent monthly cash flow returns and a few of the properties located in the nations hottest markets are experiencing double digit equity growth!

What I recommend you should do!

I believe very strongly that you owe it to yourself and those who depend on you to learn about this power team and then schedule your Free Game Plan to assess what possibilities are out there for you.

Happy investing and please leave a comment below!
