Where is the Best Place to Invest Money Right Now? (PART 1) Buying Investment Property

[This is the first part of a new series]

In today's economy, most investors are asking this question:

"Where is the best place to invest money right now?"

This series of articles, starting today, will set out to answer that question. Specifically, the series will explain why and where savvy investors should be buying investment property (real estate) -- our recommendation for the best place to invest money right now. Furthermore, the series will explain why these investment properties should be in the form of raw land development investments.

First, some background:

It is widely held that more riches have been created by real estate than any other form of investment. Taking that one step further, raw land development is the most profitable form of real estate.

So, you can do the math: Where is the best place to invest money right now? Raw land development.

Can you think of a better time to purchase real estate than in a down market? The golden rule of investing is to always "buy low and sell high" right?

Here's WHY investors should consider buying investment property right now:

1. More millionaires have been made by investing in real estate that any other investment.

2. Raw land development is the most profitable form of real estate investment. Per industry average: professionally managed raw land development projects increase the value of undeveloped, raw land by 2-5 times its original price. (i.e. A professional raw land developer will sell their completed raw land development project for 200-500% more than they originally paid for the property. And it can be much higher.

3. In addition to being among the most profitable forms of investment, raw land development (professionally managed) can be one of the most secure, low risk investments an investor can make. This is because the raw land developer will typically back their investors' principal with the assets of their project (the property itself). In addition, they will place their investors in 1st position for project assets and revenue.

This means that in the event of a developer default on a raw land development project (heaven forbid), the land itself can be sold so that the investors can recoup part or all of their principal plus any net profits. Also, it means that the investors, being in 1st position, are first in line to be paid if project assets must be sold -- making this one of the most secured forms of investment available to investors.

4. Property prices are reasonable right now. Buying investment property in the form of undeveloped, raw land is a 'buyer's market' today.

This is because landowners aren't any different than other folks. They have been affected by the stock markets and the overall economy like everyone else. The net effect is that many are willing to sell their undeveloped land right now for very reasonable prices because they need the money.

As a result, raw land developers are in need of investors right now to help them acquire raw land at these 'bargain basement' prices.

5. The United States population is projected to grow +29% from 2000-2030. (U.S. Census Bureau) That means the addition of 82,000,000 new people in America. And these people are going to need new homes, new schools, new stores, new communities to support them.

Where are these new homes, schools, stores & communities going to come from? Raw land development.

Are you starting to see the answer to our question: Where is the best place to invest money right now?

Part 1 of a Series: "The Safest Money Investments Today"

Today, I am starting a new series. This is Part 1:

"The Safest Money Investments Today"

#1. CASH

First off, I want to clarify one fact: The is no such thing as a completely safe investment. There are a number of 'low risk' investments, but none are completely safe - although people still use the term 'safe' to refer to them.

So, we'll start the conversation about safest money investments with the idea of putting your money in your mattress or burying it in a coffee can in your backyard. (People still do this!)

There are 3 risks associated with this strategy:

• Inflation risk. Assuming 3% inflation, you'll lose 3 cents on every dollar each year.
• Someone could steal your money from your mattress.
• You could forget where you buried the coffee can!

I also include in the Cash category: FDIC Insured banking accounts such as Checking, Savings, Money Market Deposit Accounts and Certificates of Deposit (CD's). These are considered by many to be the safest money investments you can make because of the FDIC insurance factor. However, you are limited to the amount insured by the FDIC (has been raised to $250,000 per bank per individual through 2009).

The risk associated with these investments is inflation risk. The rate of interest you earn on your money will probably not keep pace with inflation, though it's a little better than doing nothing with your money.

Checking Accounts typically pay no or very low interest and access a menu of fees and penalties which usually result in the average account pacing well below the inflation rate. Savings Accounts are notorious these days for their sub-inflation interest rates. Money Market Deposit Accounts pay a little better, but still typically below inflation, and have limitations on the number of checks and withdrawals you can make - therefore: limited liquidity. And even the best Certificate of Deposit investments aren't much above the inflation rate, plus you'll need a very large amount of money to get the best rates. Also, you have to be willing to forego access to your money for an extended period of time, perhaps years, unless you're willing to pay a stiff penalty for early withdrawal (no liquidity). And even then, the interest rates you earn isn't going to rock your world!

So, that's CASH: Safest Money Investment #1. Part 2 of this series will be about "U.S. Government Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds".

Safe Investing FAQ's

Below is a sampling of investor questions that I am seeing these days. I've consolidated them into two central themes:

What are the safest money investments available today?

• Is there such a thing a safe investing anymore?
• What are some good ways to invest money in this economy?
• Where is the best place to invest money right now?
• What are the best low risk investments?
• What are some good investments today?
• What are some safe ways to invest money?
• What are good safe investments?
• Where do I find good safe money investments today?
  

2) Can I still find high yield safe investments?

• Is safe high yield investing still possible
• What are the best investments for today's economy?
• Are safe high yield investments a thing of the past?
• What are secure high yield investments today?
• What is the best place to invest money right now?
• What are the best fixed rate investments right now?

I'm guessing that you're probably asking similar questions yourself. I know that I am! So, I have done a good amount of research on these two topics.

What's interesting is this: depending upon which investment 'guru' that you listen to, there are a lot of different opinions being given in response to the first central question above: "What are the safest money investments available today?" And the opinions vary even more on the second central question: "Can I still find high yield safe investments?"

After the completion of all my research of numerous expert writings, internet searches, blogs, television and radio interviews, etc., tempered by my personal knowledge and experience, I decided to create this blog.

In future blogs, I will be sharing information about what I consider to be the safest money investments, also where you can find high yield safe investments in today's economy. In fact, I am developing another new blog that will share information about what I consider to be the safest high yield investment. Please stay tuned!

What Are The Safest Money Investments Available Today?

Let's be clear about this one fact: "There is no such thing as completely safe investing." There are, however, a number of very low risk investments available to investors - but again, none are entirely risk free.

This blog is dedicated to answering questions that I am regularly receiving from people wanting to know where they can find "the best low risk or safe investments in today's economy."

These questions range from "what are the safest money investments available?" to "what are the best high yield safe investments?" - but they all involve the central themes of low risk and asset security.

And who can blame them? The global economy is on tilt, largely being driven by the United States, the world's financial core. Stock markets are experiencing significant devaluations, financial institutions are defaulting left and right, the foreclosure market is rampant and the price of oil has plummeted. Sound like Armageddon?

What's an investor to do? What is the safest place to invest money today? Is it possible to find high yield safe investments anymore? Or should I just keep my money in my mattress where it won't lose value? Oops! What about inflation? Even in my mattress I'd be losing money!

For answers to these questions and more, please stay tuned!
