Why Real Estate Investing is Better than Gold - Investors Workshops

Investors Workshops http://www.investorsworkshops.com

In this video, Shawn Watkins discusses why real estate investing is better than investing in golds.

Investors Workshops is an investment club for real estate investors of any level. We feature speakers that do not pitch products.

Do you like to learn in an environment with like minded people? If you're like me the answer is a resounding 'yes!'. I have created Investors Workshops to allow real estate investors the chance to learn with other creative people. Each month, we will present a speaker covering a different topic relating to real estate investment and the creation of wealth through real estate.

We meet the last Wednesday of each month from 7pm to 9pm, at the DoubleTree Hotel at 100 City Drive South, Orange, CA. The cost of the meeting is $25 per person ($35 per couple).

We welcome real estate investors of all experience levels. Whether you're new to real estate or looking for a great networking resource, I think you owe it to yourself to check out a meeting.

Gold vs. real estate is comparing apples to oranges. Two completely different goals. Gold & Silver (G&S) is only for storing purchasing power while waiting for the dollar to collapse, then you can cash out some of your G&S to payoff the debt on your cash flowing real estate.

Don't ignore the power of fix-and-sell. When done right, you can acquire 11 free-and-clear fix-and-rent cash flow houses in just 2 years of fix-and-sell profits. Then leverage those houses into apartment buildings!

What about silver?

Lets not forget that we have to keep those properties maintained and put up with tennants.

Good video, but I would rather stay with the gold. You don't have to declare gold sales. In reality, when you buy gold you are not investing. Simply you are holding your ground. As the dollar collapses, you have gold to keep value. When you have enough to buy something you want, you cash it in and buy it. Investing means, you cashed it in and bought something that will keep giving you a return - like the real estate. Don't get in debt. That is the contract with the devil - debt contracts

oh boy, I just can't emphasize enough how retarded all of this sounds... false flag video...

Hey smart guy. Your comparison shows you have leveraged your real estate at a factor of 5:1, with 20% down, yet your gold investment has 0 leverage. Did you know you can also leverage gold the same way you can leverage real - estate? Im going to assume you knew that and are just trying to bring people into your real estate workshops.

This just wont work in australia. Property does not generate positive cash flow. I would love to buy property and make good % year 1, but here, you dont make money for 10 years at least. We have a huge property bubble still waiting to pop, our dollar has soared by more than double in 10 years, we have been priced out of the global economy. Both property and the aussie dollar are set for a major fall. Aussies need gold. I would like to get US$s but not with that budget deficit. ;)

You're comparing a leveraged strategy (the house) with an unleveraged strategy (gold) and pretending they're equivalent? You fail at investing.

You are misinforming the public and you should be jailed for your misguided investment advice. With $40,000 I can buy 3 Gold future contracts. If Gold went up $500 per oz, I would make $10 per every 10 cent rise or $100 per $1 rise in Gold. So, $100 x 500 equals $50,000 and better yet, I can times that by 3 because I bought 3 contracts for a whopping profit of $150,000. You really should do your research before you present uninformed vids.

That was a perfect explaination on investing for the future. A friend's girlfriend bought a house for just this reason which I helped my friend renovate.

I think that the girlfriend was a bit mistaken about the purchase against the after repair value, because when we finished she wanted to know what we thought it was worth, we believed, in the falling market at that time the value was right there in the range of purchase price. She seemed a bit upset but was ok with positive cash flow income.
