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.

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?

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…..

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!
