Description
Investing in Real Estate has been around forever and is a great way to get regular income (Rent) and at the same time have your investment in a property rise over time so when you sell you make a profit.
The problem is when you own an actual physical piece of property there is a lot of hassle and downsides that turn off many investors such as:
High costs in terms of down payments, loans, and other expenses.
Difficulty in buying and selling property in terms of the length of time it takes and the risks involved.
The cost of repair and maintenance you are responsible for. Either hiring someone to do it, expensive, or using your valuable time to personally perform repair and maintenance. Either way it eats into your profits and can add up fast.
Many legal issues and costs associated with owning physical property.
Hassle of finding and responding to tenants, for example, when they have an emergency repair in the middle of the night.
THIS COURSE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO GET ALL THE BENEFITS OF OWNING REAL ESTATE WITHOUT THE EXTRA COST AND ISSUES OF OWNING A PHYSICAL PROPERTY.
The financial industry recognizes the downsides of physical property and there are proven alternative ways to get the benefits of owning Real Estate such as income, growth, and diversification without all the hassle.
In this course you will learn how to invest in:
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT), that trade like stocks on regular stock exchanges and provide a high level of income in the form of dividends. In fact, they are required by law to pay out 90% of their profits to their shareholders (You). With a REIT you have the opportunity to invest in a wide range of Real Estate such as Data Centers, Office Buildings, Residential Property, Hospitals, Hotels, Retail Marketplaces, and a lot more.
Master Limited Partnerships (MLP), which are very similar to REITS and focus on energy infrastructure such as pipelines.
Peer-To-Peer Lending (P2P), where you can invest in a variety of loans where in effect you act as the banker and people pay you. You never actually meet the borrowers and instead leverage online marketplaces that rate the quality of the loans and give you a variety to choose from.
Real Estate Notes, where you are buying the real estate loans from banks and others and you are paid interest directly. You have the opportunity to buy loans at a discount, increasing your potential profit, and are backed by the property itself as collateral. Can easily find options on online marketplaces which you will learn in the course.
Real Estate Sharing Economy where you can earn side income from Airbnb and VRBO.
Real Estate Crowdsourcing, where you invest in property along other investors through a marketplace but you are not involved in the day to day hassle of managing that property. You are an investor and the management company does all the day to day work and takes a portion of the profits to cover their costs. Allows you to invest much smaller amounts with a lot less risk than doing it all by yourself.
Real Estate Focused Stock Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETF), where you can invest in different sectors of Real Estate such as Home Builders, Suppliers, Construction Companies, Hardware Retailers, and more. Get instant diversification across many sectors with mutual funds and ETF.
One great aspect of all these investments is you are able to buy and sell your investments very quickly. For example, REIT and MLP trade on stock exchanges so you can buy and sell these investments in minutes compared to months or even years trying to buy or sell a physical property.
Many investors want to invest in Real Estate but hate the idea of searching for property, coming up with big down payments, taking on loans, exposing themselves to lawsuits, being responsible for repairs, and the headaches of dealing with tenants and these alternatives allow you to avoid all that and do what you really want which is to...invest in Real Estate and make a return on your investment without a lot of hassle.
Can be truly passive income.
Plus, with Udemy's 30 day money back guarantee if you do not love the course you can return it for a full refund. Real easy.
Many thanks and I hope to see you in the course!
