Real Estate Investments Help Retire Richer
A noted lecturer told a local club audience that many businessmen retire from income produced by real estate investments rather than other sources. They start small with a down payment, find reliable tenants, and let tenants pay charges while the mortgage is retired. He stressed self liquidating investments and noted mortgage companies often take 90 percent risk while the investor gains 10 percent equity.
