Everywhere we look, there’s real estate—parks, playgrounds, factories, freeways, farms, schools, libraries, churches, houses, high-rises, hotels, restaurants, refineries, theaters, sidewalks, and shopping centers.

You can explore other investment opportunities, you’ll be hard pressed to find another commodity that’s as permanent and profitable as real estate. Stocks can go bust and even in the best of times provide mostly paper profits, oil wells dry up or the price per barrel can plummet, metals rust, gold and silver values fluctuate, and diamonds, at today’s astronomical prices, are rarely in the comfort range of the average investor. Savings accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit are safe, but after you pay taxes on the income they generate, they aren’t very lucrative. They can never provide the kind of return on investment or the tax deductions that property offers.

Real estate lasts forever and is worth more every Why? Because there’s only a finite amount of land- can’t manufacture any more of it. Our land growth zero; our population growth is not.
