Investing in Real Estate

Real Estate Investment 101

When considering diversification of your financial portfolio, real estate should be a consideration.  There are a variety of vehicles to consider when it comes to real estate.  ERA Shields Real Estate is an expert in the development and execution of real estate investment.  Whether you are looking to fund a child’s education or generate income, we can help.

Paying for college tuition…

A favored strategy for long term investment to pay for future educational costs includes real estate investment. Consider the purchase of an investment property when your child is young so that by college, the property is paid in full and generating revenue.  The monthly revenue or accumulated appreciation may be used to pay tuition expenses.  By purchasing the property in the child’s name, you are building wealth for your child.

Consistent return and income…

Holding real estate investment(s), can produce a steady flow of income and demonstrate consistent appreciation.  The Colorado Springs real estate market is one that is fairly insulated from treacherous ups and downs seen in other markets.  This makes certain that your investment grows consistently.  Our investment team will assist in identifying an appropriate price range, down payment and mortgage arrangement based upon your needs.  Let us help you develop your long term wealth strategy.  Contact any member of the team for a no cost consultation.

To determine an action plan, there are a few factors to consider:

• What are your goals including time horizon?
• How much capital are you willing to invest?

To develop and execute your plan, assemble your team:

• Accountant (to ensure all benefits/risks are understood)
• Investment Advisor (as appropriate)
• Realtor (to understand market, risks and potential opportunities)
• Mortgage Resource (for property ownership)
