Why relevant

Regardless of your age, real estate professionals need a steady source of income sufficient to support their lifestyle for 20-30 years or more beyond retirement. Social Security alone isn’t enough and stock market investments can wipe out years of savings in seconds. Real estate is the one investment that has consistently kept pace with inflation, can provide consistent cash flow, and allows investors to increase the value of their investments by increasing the value of the properties they own, not relying exclusively on appreciation. This course provides participants with an overview of various real estate investments, how they work, plus how to evaluate which investment vehicles are best to secure their retirement income.
