Safeguard Financial (www.IRA123.com) is proud to announce the launch of its Managed Real Estate Investment Program for Self Directed IRA & 401(k) plans.
In the world of IRAs and 401(k)s, real estate is known as an "alternative investment" as opposed to what is commonly known as "traditional investments" into stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Of the more than $4.2 trillion held in retirement funds, only a fraction is invested directly into real estate, or real estate related assets.
"Safeguard's managed program offers retirement investor clients the option to own turnkey, income-producing real estate with tenants in place, or to participate in notes and loans secured by real estate. Investing is as simple and easy as investing in the stock market" according to Robert Hubbard, CEO & Sr. Investment Advisor at Safeguard Financial..."and it's more profitable".
Geographic regions for investing have been chosen where rent-to-value ratios are highly favorable and employment is stable. Income-producing properties have been fully rehabbed to very high standards and a tenant and property management is in place...thus the term "turn-key".
Investment opportunities are offered by Certified Partners who were selected because of their proven track records, high ethical standards and superior customer service. Investments range from around $45,000 to $125,000 or more, and the targeted ROI is 9% to 12%.
Mr. Hubbard has been a prolific writer of articles related to the virtues of "turn-key, cash flow" investing with real estate as opposed to "speculative" investing into a stock market that he describes as being "more like gambling in a casino in Las Vegas". This analogy is made clear in his article: "Retirement Investing: Complex or Simple".
Long a proponent of cash flow real estate investing, in his two articles "A Dose of Reality: Stocks vs Rental Property" and "The Lost Decade of Retirement Investing", Mr. Hubbard points out that from April 1999 to Sept 2011 the Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced less than a 5% gain.
Therefore, a $100,000 investment would have produced a $5,000 gain. On the other hand, a $100,000 rental property during this same 12 year period, would have produced a net gain of $120,000. (No taxes are due when investing with retirement funds.)
"The numbers simply do not lie...if the data is compared on an apples to apples basis. Unfortunately, the Wizards of Wall Street never compare income-producing real estate to stocks. They ALWAYS compare the house you live in (which produces NO income) with investing in stocks. That's deceptive and void of any truth", observes Mr. Hubbard.
