Real Estate - safe, secure, steady money

Real Estate can be a great assest if you're smart. If you know what to buy and when to sell, you can easily be raking in the cash. To start out in real estate you need some capital (money) in order to buy some land, or houses, or developments, or office buildings. The keys to real estate are location, market, and development. If you have little money, start out small, make do with what you got. If you get into the right markets at the right time you can trade your way up. I recently read "How to Retire with a Million Dollars" by Elaine Zimmermann which is a step by step guide to using real estate, and tenants to build your wealth and add to your assets.
