Investing in real estate means purchasing a property that is “income-producing”. In other words, it is not owner-occupied, and can be residential rental, resorts, professional, industrial, etc. The value of the property is partly determined by the income and expenses, and ultimately the net profit.

  An investor has a different focus than the owner-occupied residential buyer. Terms like appreciation, and property management are a big part of the equation.

  An investor is concerned about the following factors:

• Return on Investment
• Cash Flow
• Tax Advantages of owning investment property
• Appreciation of the Property
• Management of the Property

  Investment real estate requires involvement of the buyer's Tax Attorney and/or Accountant. Different scenarios apply to different properties and different purchasers.

  It has been proven over the years, however, that investing in real estate has been the most stable of all commodities, and particularly during the recent stock market decline, has been the stabilizing force of our US economy
