Ted,
I live in Phoenix, AZ area.  I keep hearing that this market here is not good for apartment building investing.  Do you agree.  I am a newbe, but just looking at the Loopnet postings, seems like there are not any investment opportunities that would positively cash flow with 100% financing.
Regards,
Ryszard
Hello Ryszard,
There are many sources for below value apartment buildings that can’t be found on Loopnet.  In my “Buy Your First Apartment Building E-Course” shows you exactly where to look.

Good Luck,

Ted Karsch

Hey it’s Ted,

Have you really started to take this apartment building investment
stuff seriously yet?

Did you know that, according to the Wall Street Journal, if you
were 65 years old today  you would need about 2 million dollars
in investments and savings to retire and live a comfortable middle
class life through retirement?

How close are you to that number?  And more importantly what actions
are you taking today to make sure that you reach number?

Do you want to continue working into your 70’s?  Unfortunately, that
will be a reality for many, many seniors in the coming decades.

Would you rather spend your retirement years hitting golf balls
in the Bahamas or checking out candy in the drugstore?

I’ll bet that your financial adviser or stock broker  is probably
not recommending that you start investing in apartment buildings.

If you ask him why not he will probably say:

1) It’s too risky
2) You have to deal with tenants
3) It’s just not safe
4) You don’t know anything about it

***But the real reason your financial planner won’t recommend
an apartment building investment is because he or she doesn’t
understand them!

The financial planners that I know are great people but
almost none of them have any experience or knowledge in
real estate.  They are comfortable recommending stocks, annuities,
bonds, mutual funds and will even sell an REIT if all else fails.

But they have no direct knowledge of how apartment buildings
create long term wealth with relatively little risk.

For example, let’s compare Apples to Oranges.  If you own an
apartment building and, god forbid, it is severely damaged by a
storm or other catastrophe, your insurance company will pay for the
building to be rebuilt.

An apartment building investment is NOT guaranteed but it is
insured.

On the other hand, if you own stock in a company that
suddenly has major financial problems, you are not insured against
that loss. Sure, it is rare for a company’s stock to go to zero but
it does happen. It’s much more likely that the company will stay in
business and see a lagging stock price for a long time. This is what
a stock professional would refer to as a great “buy and hold” stock.

Today’s mini lesson will show you exactly how to figure out your
precise investment returns for five years in the future. If you
are truly serious about taking the next step and controlling your
own financial future then order my fully interactive E-course today
