The Smart Investors Secret Leaders in Land
The Smart Investors Secret to Creating Large Pension Funds and Making More Than Enough Money to Retire Early! 8 Have you ever wondered why some investors always make loads of money - regardless of market conditions - while others struggle to recoup their initial investment? The answer is simple - profit making investors know something that the average investor does not. And that knowledge is not always something complicated and technical. In fact more often than not, all they are doing is keeping their eye on the market and moving their investments into more profitable markets as and when they emerge. Let’s take the buy-to-let market for instance. 5 to 10 years ago, this was the domain of sophisticated investors, who made a lot of money simply because at that time, there were more profits to be shared between fewer investors. And then a few years ago -- on the back of numerous property related TV programs and free seminars promising to turn people into property millionaires over night - every John, Jim, & Sally rushed into the market.

At this point, the smart investor sold up,released their profits and moved their finances into more profitable, less volatile markets. Markets such as those which traditionally have been the domain of royalty, aristocrats and large corporate companies like BP, British Aerospace & Tesco. And when you consider that the asset that drives this market is... •...essential to all human existence! •...in limited supply and cannot be reproduced! •...currently in high demand due to chronic housing shortage in the UK! •...not directly affected by the credit crunch or changes in world markets! •...more precious than gold, diamonds or oil! •...has been the cause of many wars throughout history! •...has increased in value on average by 36.3% every year for the last 20 years! •...historically has outperformed both the stock & property markets! ...you will fully understand why traditional

You can see why strategically placed land is now the asset of choice for smart investors who are out to make real money for their pension, children’s future and early retirement. 9 investors have fought for many years to keep the market closed. However, around 5 years ago, changes in the law have opened the door for smaller investors like us to share in the billions of pounds worth of profit potential this market has to offer. What are we talking about here? Land...an asset that Adam Smith, the fathers of economics called the “the basis of all wealth!” For those of us from an African, Caribbean or Asian background, the concept of holding land as a wealth generating asset is not foreign to us. Because ‘back home’ - where traditionally individuals build rather than buy houses - the concept of land ownership is something we fully understand.
And because of this, many of us do not realise that a third of any property price, reflects the value of the underlying land. For example, the land under a house valued at £300,000 would be worth £100,000. And when you consider that this particular piece of land may have been bought for as little as £10,000 less than 5 years before the house was built – giving 1000% mid to long term return on investment - you can see why strategically placed land is now the asset of choice for smart investors who are out to make real money for their pension, children’s future and early retirement.
Build on your future However, on these shores, we are encouraged to take out mortgages - derived from the French word ‘mortif’, which means ‘deed/debt till death’ -- to buy already made property which often leases the land upon which it is built.
