Be rich

BOTH POVERTY AND RICHES ARE THE OFFSPRING OF THOUGHT.

The very nature of real estate owned for income and pyramiding is that:

AS EACH DAY PASSES, YOU MAKE MONEY.

You do not have to DO anything to create the income. It just happens by itself. Not that I am implying for a moment that it is entirely work-free. It isn't, of course. But it goes on making money for you, day in, day out, month by month, year by year, by itself.

When we are offered a bargain in real estate we must never forget that we are not buying something we are going to consume, we are buying WHAT we are going to be offering to the public.

If we are to avoid the unenviable position of owning a thing for sale and being unable to find a customer for it, we must devote our best judgment to the points about the property that will most influence the acceptability of our product (shelter) when we offer it for sale. And the most important single feature of ALL property is LOCATION!

What to buy?

For adults, keep your expenses low, reduce your liabilities and diligently build a base of solid assets. For young people who have not yet left home, it is important for parents to teach them the difference between an asset and a liability. Get them to start building a solid asset column before they leave home, get married, buy a house, have kids and get stuck in a risky financial position, clinging to a job and buying everything on credit. I see so many young couples who get married and trap themselves into a lifestyle that will not let them get out of debt for most of their working years.

For most people, just as the last child leaves home, the parents realize they have not adequately prepared for retirement and they begin to scramble to put some money away. Then, their own parents become ill and they find themselves with new responsibilities.

So what kind of assets am I suggesting that you or your children acquire? In my world, real assets fall into several different categories:

1. Businesses that do not require my presence. I own them, but they are managed or run by other people. If I have to work there, it's not a business. It becomes my job.
2. Stocks.
3. Bonds.
4. Mutual funds.
5. Income-generating real estate.
6. Notes (lOUs).
7. Royalties from intellectual property such as music, scripts, patents.
8. And anything else that has value, produces income or appreciates and has a ready market.
