Former Sears Holdings' exec Steven Dennis caused a stir earlier this month when he suggested in his blog that every day Sears chooses not to liquidate the company loses a bit of value on its real estate, arguably one of its most prized assets. Yet retail real estate insiders claim this may be a chicken-and-egg issue, given that Sears' stores at bottom-tier malls may not be worth much to begin with.

If Getting Rich <b>Investing</b> In <b>Real Estate</b> Were As Easy As Buying a <b>...</b>

EXCITEDWouldn't it be great if getting rich investing in real estate were as easy as buying a DVD from one of those late night infomercials or attending some local seminar on how to flip a house. I've got to break the news to you, there is no secret get rich quick formula for investing in real estate. Don't get me wrong there are a multitude of ways to make some money and maybe even get rich investing in real estate. The other side to this is that there are also a multitude of ways to lose some money. We've all seen the infomercials and ads promising to make you a millionaire "for only three monthly installments of $39″.

My advice to you would be to save your hard earned money, most of the advice given only works in ideal situations and a lot of it is pretty darn risky. The real "secret" to success when investing in real estate is quite simply to not lose money. Obvious right?

There are people making big profits investing in real estate but the reality of the situation is they are; in the minority, usually they have a lot of cash on hand, and they are very well connected to people with cash and there local market. These investors pay high taxes because of there short term gains, as well as being vulnerable to shifting market trends, and uncertainty in home values. The biggest factor in my opinion is that these investors are generally so focused on real estate that a lot of important things in life may be missed. If you think about it it's pretty ludicrous to think that the answer to mass amounts of wealth can be had by purchasing a DVD.

There are a lot more people getting wealthy investing in real estate that buy and hold real estate for long term benefits. The tax advantages from buying and holding real estate are a huge deal. As well as the fact that you can leverage your money and purchase multiple properties that will produce long term cash flow. I like to think of my rental properties as part of my retirement portfolio and not as my get rich quick plan.
