"Investor Center" Assists Residential Real Estate Investors

12 January 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

EXIT Real Estate Solutions JOINS OWNAMERICA

“Investor Center” Assists Residential Real Estate Investors

Sandra Hood of EXIT Real Estate Solutions earns the OwnAmerica Investment Certification and joins the OwnAmerica Network, a national affiliation of real estate investment specialists. This move allows Sandra Hood to offer analysis tools, tutorials and a video training series to clients during one of the biggest real estate investment booms in history.
Using the Investor Center on The Hampton Real Estate Blog, real estate investors can learn how to best capitalize on the struggling housing market by researching and acquiring quality real estate assets as a long term wealth creation strategy. The Investor Center guides new real estate investors down the right path and streamlines the process for more seasoned investors.
“The market is great for investors, but investing in real estate is quite different than traditional home buying and selling,” explains Sandra Hood,  “It’s a more complex process requiring additional levels of expertise. The Investor Center provides the resources to make investing in real estate simple, profitable and even fun.”
OwnAmerica and the Investor Center were created by Greg Rand, a twenty-year real estate industry veteran and author of the book Crash Boom!  It includes a 4 hour video based investment training course, news and information, and the Case Study Calculator, a tool for analyzing the potential of investment real estate.
“We’ve seen too many people giving bad advice about ‘getting rich quick’ in real estate. In truth, real estate is a long term wealth building asset. It works when you do it right. We want to show our clients how to do it right,” says Rand, CEO of OwnAmerica and host of WABC’s Rand on Real Estate.
To learn more about the Investor Center, contact Sandra Hood at sandra@sandrahood.com or visit the the website at The Hampton Roads Real Estate Blog.  To learn more about OwnAmerica, visit www.OwnAmerica.com.

Views of best long-term investment by income?

There are some distinct differences in how people view the best long-term investment based on their household income. Although all groups view Real Estate as a better investment than Stocks, Mutual Funds, and Bonds, as household income increases, so do the number of people who feel Real Estate is a best long-term investment strategy.

According to the Gallup Poll below, you can see a distinct difference in how people view the best way to invest for the long-term based on household income.  The question is which came first? Did those that think Real Estate is the best long-term investment acquire their wealth  BECAUSE of that view? Or, do they believe Real Estate is the best long-term investment because they already have wealth, which could make investing Real Estate easier. 

 

Gallup 2

 

Do you think income creates wealth or that people’s beliefs create wealth? Do you see yourself in these numbers? Would you use Real Estate invesment strategy to create your long-term wealth or do you see yourself only investing in Real Estate when your household income increases?

What are your thoughts? Where would you put your money? If not in Real Estate, why not?

What do you think is best for long-term investments?

Of four strategies for long-term investment, which do people believe are the best: Bonds, Stocks & Mutual Funds, Real Estate, or Savings Accounts?

According to a 2009 Gallup Poll, most people felt a Savings Account was best for long-term investments. Surprisingly, even in the height of the housing crisis, almost as many people believed investing in Real Estate was best for a long-term investment. And, twice as many people felt Real Estate was a better long-term investment than Bonds, Stocks, or Mutual Funds!

Gallup 1

 

I wonder if people’s beliefs about long-term investment have shifted since 2009.  What are your thoughts? Where would you put your money? What would prevent you from investing in Real Estate in today’s market?
