Retirement Planning – Be Your Own Hedge Fund

In the last couple of years alone, literally, hundreds of new funds have been created to invest billions of dollars in flipping and holding undervalued residential real estate. We all know hedge funds are designed to take advantage of only the best investment opportunities. Why do you think new hedge funds continue to be created for the exclusive purpose of buying and selling real estate? The answer is obvious. Real estate offers the highest, short-term return with minimal risk.

For generations, Americans believed that you must work hard to be successful. Let’s dispel that myth right now. You don’t have to work hard; you have to work smart! For people that are in the real estate industry, their families, and their clients, real estate is the absolute best investment available, and you don’t need a lot of money because many residential properties are available for under $100,000, and can be leveraged by getting a mortgage.

The strategy is simple: find a home you can buy that is bank owned, offered as a short sale, or otherwise significantly undervalued (there are still plenty of them out there). If need be, finance the purchase, then slap a coat of paint on or make other cosmetic repairs, and sell the home for a net profit of approximately $20,000 in just a few short months. Compare the money you make to how long it takes you to make the same amount working your regular job, and you can appreciate why working smart is far better than working hard. You also have a huge advantage over the big guys in the hedge funds. You’re buying only one at a time and you live in the market. It’s far easier to find one or two great deals versus looking for hundreds of them at one time.  You can prepare for retirement by continuing to overwork, or you can exploit the best real estate investment opportunities of our lifetime. The choice is yours. The decision should be obvious before this fantastic window of opportunity closes!
