Live Rich, Retire Richer - It Just May be Possible to Have it All!
WE ALL KNOW THE DRILL: To make sure you have enough green for your golden years, you're suppose to max out your 401(k) contributions, invest in index funds and growth stocks, and not - repeat - not splurge on the top-of-the-line Ferrari. All sound advice. But where's the fun in that? And what about now, when you're actually, you know, living your life?
Well, we believe it's possible to both live the good life and turbocharge that retirement account. In the following sections, you'll find ideas for real estate investments that help you diversify your holdings and maximize your returns while minimizing your risk. You will not see many of these opportunities and strategies reported in the business section of your daily newspaper. Like purchasing luxury condos at a fixed discount direct from the developer and selling it for 40-60% gains without closing on the property. How about purchasing premium lots in the next hot community before the developer spends a single dollar in marketing informing the baby boomers or the average investor? And lastly, how about investing in real estate in places where supermodels lounge on the sand and beach houses can still be had for six figures or less? Want a preview? Aim Google Earth at Punta del Este, Uraguay.
Maybe you are interested in learning new ways to save tax dollars on every purchase you make by using a 1031 exchange, so you have more money to spend on your grandchildren and less money to Uncle Sam. Better yet, ever think about buying real estate with a self-directed IRA account and rolling your profits back into your IRA to make double- to triple-digit profits? Perhaps it's time to understand why banking institutions don't market the fact that there are self-directed IRA LLC's that allow you to have check writing capabilities directly from your IRA to purchase real estate. Perhaps it is because the banks don't make any money off of you if you take it out of mutual funds and stocks…..

PropertyVestors' real estate strategies can position you to take advantage of these and other market conditions. Not only that, it can help you maximize your profits while minimizing your risks.
Perhaps You Want to Look South…Way South.
Although there are many investments we are very confident about in the U.S., many of our members are interested in visiting and sometimes even retiring overseas. So if you're thinking about this yourself, why not head way South to Uruguay. Ura-where? The tiny South American nation is wedged between Brazil and Argentina, whose sputtering currencies have been attracting global-trotting bargain hunters in recent years. But, it's getting harder to find a real deal in those countries with all the competition from euroflush investors and increasingly prosperous locals. That makes largely overlooked, but delightfully cosmopolitan Uruguay the place to be. Known as the Switzerland of South America, Uruguay played host to the jet-setting crowd in the '60's. These days the likes of Ralph Lauren and Naomi Campbell hit the beaches of Punta del Este.
Where to Buy
Punta developers are cranking out luxury condos and oceanfront villas that range in price from less than $200,000 to as much as $5 million. You can still buy a four-bedroom house two blocks from the beach for $160,000. Go farther up the coast and you can snag 360 acres of ranch land – with lagoon - for $5.8 million. To be near the heart of Uruguay's culture and commerce, head to Montevideo. With its cafes, galleries and Old World opera house, the city offers a colonial charm without the high prices. The Ciudad Vieja neighborhood is considered the place with the greatest headroom for real estate appreciation in the coming years. Bargains abound: A three-bedroom house for less than $50,000 is not uncommon. That's the beauty of Uruguay: Get in for a song now and spend your winters in the sun – or cash out when it's time to retire.
Other Bargains
If Uruguay is not your cup of tea, there are plenty of other places ripe for real estate appreciation. Calabria, on the toe of Italy's boot, is where rock bottom prices meet the Mediterranean sun. A two-bedroom apartment on the ocean-side town of Scalea can be snapped up for $83,000. Additional opportunities are in being finalized including luxury condos in Tuscany, Italy. We are also researching many other areas including Malaysia, Croatia and Bulgaria. We do our best to meet the needs of our investment members, even if it does take us out of the U.S. I certainly don't mind!

Chicago Declared North American ''City of the Future'' for Its Economic, Business and Financial Strength
Monday April 23, 9:05 am
ETFinancial Times' fDi Magazine Awards Chicago the Top HonorCHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Financial Times publication, fDi Magazine (Foreign Direct Investment), today announced that Chicago is North America's "City of the Future" for 2007/2008. The award distinguishes the city as having the best prospects for inward investment, economic development and business expansion in the NAFTA region (USA, Canada and Mexico).
Chicago was chosen based on more than 60 criteria including everything from cost effectiveness to human resources to infrastructure. An independent panel of experts looked at data submitted by each individual city, and Chicago ranks number one overall in its category of "major cities" (cities with populations greater than 2 million people) in the publication, which is distributed worldwide.
Scores were given to each city based on seven selection factors. Chicago was the only city (in any size range) to rank in the top five of all seven selection factors:
* # 1 - Best Economic Potential
* # 1 - Best Infrastructure
* # 1 - Best Development and Investment Promotion
* # 2 - Most Cost Effective
* # 3 - Best Human Resources
* # 3 - Best Quality of Life
* # 5 - Most Business Friendly
"Chicago has the most diversified economy in the country," said Mayor Richard M. Daley. "The combination of this and our tremendous talent pool, dynamic quality of life and unmatched infrastructure have made us a truly global competitor."
"No other city has dominated any of these benchmarking exercises anywhere around the globe in the way Chicago has in the Major city category," said David East, Publisher, fDi - Foreign Direct Investment.
fDi Magazine researches and awards the honor every other year. Chicago was also awarded "City of the Future" in 2005, when there were separate award categories for the USA, Canada and Mexico. This year, being grouped together, Chicago takes the honor for the whole region, making the title more competitive. Additionally, this year fDi Magazine reported twice the number of applicants as in 2005.
"We are striving to showcase Chicago's tremendous business, cultural and human capital resources to the world," said Paul O'Connor, executive director of World Business Chicago. "Winning this award consecutively proves that our strength as a global competitor is being recognized internationally."
The "City of the Future" feature is one of a global series of regional reports led by the fDi research staff. Unlike other frequent media rankings led by opinion polls, this competition reflects independent analysis of factual data. The selection process is similar to the way executives and site selection consultants weigh potential locations on many critical selection factors as they develop a list of preferences out of an extensive list of alternatives.

Is a Major Stock Market Correction Looming?
Three Great Real Estate Strategies to Profit No Matter What Happens!
With the Dow Jones industrial average reaching new highs almost daily, the stock market is in a frenzy. We're watching "one of the crazier moments in modern financial history," said Bill Fleckenstein in MoneyCentral.com.
The crazy highs were recently dampened when stock prices fell nearly 9 percent overnight in China on February 27, driving a market meltdown with skittish U.S. investors. That day, the Dow Jones closed down 416.02 or 3.3 percent at 12,216.24—its lowest close since Dec.1. And the S&P and NASDAQ each plunged more than 3 percent. Fred Dickson, chief market strategist for D.A. Davidson—the largest full-scale investment company based in the Northwest–referred to the tumble as a "natural adjustment" to high increases to stock prices. The pull back in prices, he added, was not a signal of an impending bear market.
However, former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has warned that the American economy might ease into recession by end of this year. He feels there are signs the current economic cycle is coming to an end. "When you get this far away from a recession, invariably, forces build up for the next recession, and indeed we are beginning to see that sign," Greenspan said in a recent Associated Press article. "For example, in the U.S., profit margins ... have begun to stabilize, which is an early sign we are in the later stages of a cycle."
The million-dollar question is: Is the stock market destined for a major correction? Some financial experts think so. For example, David Wyss, an economist with Standard & Poor's, told CNNMoney.com that the market is overdue for a significant correction. We couldn't agree more! Do you think the Dow could ever drop past 10,000, past 9,000 or even 8,000?
Innovative Real Estate Strategies the Ideal Solution
So what are your options if you're weary of your investments in the stock market and believe that a correction will take place because of the housing bubble, the actions of baby boomers, political climate, repercussions of the war in Iraq and other factors? You can avoid a major correction altogether by investing in innovative strategies in real estate. These strategies don't include a lot of hands-on effort like flipping, attending auctions and certainly not being a landlord. Moreover, they enable you to diversify your real estate investments, just as you did with your stock portfolio.
Consider the following stock example: If you were to purchase Google stock today for almost $400 a share, what would happen if, in one month, it dropped down to $300 a share? You would lose $100 per share. What would happen if I told you that you could purchase Google stock at a 15-percent discount at $340 a share today (an instant gain of $60 a share), but if it went down to $300, I would let you purchase the share at a 15-percent, re-adjusted purchase price of $255 one month later without incurring loses from your original purchase? And no matter how steep the drop in market, you would always have a 15-percent equity in your purchase of Google stock—yet still reap the benefits of any appreciation?
Well, this strategy actually exists in real estate, and it's called a "preconstruction syndicate". It's what smart investors are doing, and it leverages what investment groups provide: buying power. A preconstruction syndicate is just one of three PropertyVestors strategies that you should consider in order to avoid a 1987-like correction to your stock assets.
Prosper with Smart Strategies from PropertyVestors
PropertyVestors is an investment group of CEO's, entrepreneurs and savvy real estate investors that are taking active steps to protect themselves against a market correction by creating a diversified real estate portfolio. Investors are able to apply diversity in real estate geographically and by asset class through its various investment strategies and types of inventory.
Furthermore, PropertyVestors enables investors to capitalize on different market conditions. The strategies that its real estate portfolio specialists discuss are low-risk, private lending options; moderate risk with preconstruction syndication; and high risk with direct preconstruction purchases in emerging markets such as the coastal regions and lakes on the Carolinas.
With PropertyVestors, you can take advantage of a new model and innovative real estate strategies. You can be protected from a downturn market, whether it is a substantial correction or any other trouble that may be brewing on the economic horizon. The fact of the matter is: Americans are in debt. They're living in houses bought with interest-only loans, adjustable-rate mortgages and other creative financing that can strangle them financially if rates increase (and they likely will). PropertyVestors' real estate strategies can position you to take advantage of these and other market conditions. Not only that, it can help you maximize your profits while minimizing your risks.
