Why You Need To Invest In Raw Land Development Right Now!

My previous blog dated February 27, 2009 was the first in a series of articles I am writing, titled:

"Where is the Best Place To Invest Money Right Now: Buying Investment Property"

[If you haven't read this article, please scroll down and do so before continuing with the rest of this blog.]

This series of articles explains why Raw Land Developments are the absolute best low risk investments available to investors today. This is because, they can offer BOTH superior asset-backed security on your principal and unparalleled profit potential.

To validate these claims with facts, my company recently authored a press release titled:

"Latest Population Projections Predict A Land Development "GOLD RUSH" in 10 U.S. Markets"

This press release explains how population growth projections will require a land development boom unlike anything we've ever seen in the United States. And that includes the expansion following WWII !

Here is the bottom line: We know that Raw Land Development is about to undergo a massive expansion - in fact, it's already underway. We also know WHERE this expansion is taking place.

The only question left is: "HOW can you take advantage of this investment opportunity?"

And the answer is: "By investing in the professional land development companies that are spearheading this enormous undertaking." The key is picking the right ones. I'll be happy to share my recommendations. Just take a minute and complete my Contact Info Form.

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

[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?

Best Investments for Your Future

Is retirement coming soon in your future? How prepared are you for this? What financial situation and lifestyle will that cast you into? Could you use some free independent financial advise to help get your retirement investments on track so that you can lead the lifestyle you've always dreamed of?

We have developed a "7-Step Retirement Action Plan" for investing in your future. One of the elements of this plan is to consider alternative investments for your retirement portfolio.

Real estate has proven time and again to be the single best growth investment worldwide. We suggest that investing in real estate can be either scary or it can be a "no brainer" depending upon how you go about the investment process and what form of real estate you invest in.

You've probably heard is said the real estate has created more millionaires than any other form of investment. To take that one step further: Raw Land Development is the most lucrative form of real estate. This is why many of the world's wealthiest investors have put their money in raw land development investments for generations.

"Raw land development is probably the most profitable and most secure form of investment that you never heard of."

Raw land development is NOT the same thing as "land banking" or "raw land investing" which is where you would buy a piece of raw land, sit on it, do nothing to it, pray for appreciation and then hopefully sell it for a profit someday. That just ties up your money with an unknown return on investment. While land banking can be very profitable, we believe there are better and lower-risk investments for your hard-earned money.

Raw land development investments are where you invest as a "silent partner" with an experienced, professional land developer in a well-researched, raw land development project.

Silent partner investors share in the land developer's net profits. And, in addition, some professional developers will also pay you interest for the use of your money until the principal is returned to you.

After a lot of due diligence and research, a professional land developer will acquire raw, undeveloped land in the path of future community growth. Then, they obtain governmental approvals for rezoning and preparing the property to build upon. Finally, they sell the newly "improved" or ready-to-build land to building contractors and construction companies. This land could be used by the builders for any number of purposes: residential projects, shopping malls, industrial complexes, business parks, government offices, schools, golf courses, etc.

NOTE: The raw land development process may sound simple in concept. However, the process can involve in excess of 100 governmental entitlements (approvals) that must be completed and can take months or even years, depending upon the size and complexity of the project. This is why we recommend investing with an experienced, professional land developer versus doing it on your own.

** The industry average for a professionally managed, raw land development project is a 300-500% increase in value. In other words, the land developer will sell the newly "improved" land to building contractors and construction companies for 3-5 times what they originally paid for the raw land. **

So, that explains why raw land development can be so profitable. Now let's discuss "investment safety".

The professional land developers that we invest with always put their silent partner investors in "first position" for the raw land development projects' assets and revenue, meaning that the investors get paid first. In addition, the investors' principal is asset-secured (also termed: asset-backed). This means that in the event of a default situation by the land developer (heaven forbid), the land and other project assets can be sold and the investors can recoup all or part of their investment (plus any potential profit).

This is safety and security that investors rarely find outside of real estate. Consider the stock market for example: if the value of your shares drops to zero, what is left? No recourse and no security. This is why we consider professionally managed raw land development to be the best high yield safe investments available today.

And, we can show you different ways to invest in raw land development: from how to find the right projects; to how to use your 401k and/or IRA funds to invest.

"What is the best investment for my money?" We all ask that question and very few of us actually know what the answer is. Our website gives you that answer and also gives you the opportunity to do it now to help you prepare for a comfortable, secure retirement.

There are many options today for investing your money, including a lot of "get rich quick schemes". That is not what investing in Raw Land Development is about. This is an investment that has been around for many generations. It is a proven process and a huge industry. However, even in this business there are companies that either don't know what they are doing or are just after your money. So, of course, you need to thoroughly check them out before investing. That is where we can help.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity for a bright and beautiful future with financial security in their retirement investments.

Eventually, we all grow old and must plan for retirement. It does not need to be stressful nor does it have to be difficult. However, it does need to happen now with you making the decision to take control of retirement future. That is why our "7 Step Retirement Action Plan" was developed: to provide a practical process that you can follow to achieve financial security and live the lifestyle that you've always dreamed of for your own retirement.
