Are your RRSP's performing poorly? A Look at Land-Based Real ...

Land-Based Real Estate Investing is a hidden market that financial institutions are now investing in, affiliated with and endorsing. Join RBC, HSBC, BMO, Manulife, and your rich neighbors.

In my 10-year career as a financial advisor, I?ve had many clients ask me, ?Will this Mutual Fund ever make me money?? My response was the industry standard: ?Stick to the portfolio plan and give it time.? Meanwhile, my buddy?s stock portfolio faired no better and left him questioning the market with sleepless nights. I am not saying stock-based products don?t work. They are right for many investors. But, like you, my clients want options.

So what?s the truth?

My good friend Larry is a seasoned 20-year vet with a black belt in Financial Planning and 5 designations behind his name. Larry?s salaried job is to provide detailed personal financial analysis for the wealthy. Wealthy meaning a million or more in net assets. I asked Larry, ?Out of all the 20 years in planning, how many of your clients have become millionaires by investing in Mutual Funds?? His answer? ?One!?

?Where do people make real money?? To this, his reply was simple. ?Invest in real estate and businesses.?

My father in law, who lives in Winnipeg and has some very wealthy friends in real estate, recently told me to ?buy land, they?re not making anymore of it?. So, once you start asking the wealthy how to make money, the answers are similar. And none of them include Mutual Funds.

What Can You Do?

What does this mean for the rest of us? Should we all go and be landlords or developers? Personally, I have tried both but I am no Donald Trump, nor am I good with a plunger?ask my kids. How do I get a piece of the action without getting my wife into fear mode and the kids asking why is dad home late, covered in poop?

The Solution

The solution is simple, let the professional real estate developers manage your money and make you money. There are hundreds of them out there. But, very few have a long successful track record coupled with institutional endorsements.

I am fortunate to have a referral relationship with one of the leading land banking institutions with an outstanding reputation and better returns than the Mutual Funds I once offered my clients.

Constructing growth

Land-Based Real Estate is a great way to build your investments.

The Math

In land banking, historic annual simple returns are 20% to 30% and are typically a 4 to 6 year hold. (Compounded at 15% annually or greater)

This compared to a mutual fund averaging 6% to 15% compound returns with a 10 year hold!

Where can you get it?

Your current Financial Advisor, Life Insurance Agent, or Stock Broker may not understand nor be able to sell you these lucrative products. Why? The Securities Act and financial institutions where your planner works restrict the sale of land banking products. When referring a client to a Exempt Market Security, it is important for the client to know that the investment is not protected as they would be in an insurance transaction.

It is also important for clients to know that they are not dealing with the advisor but the company who represents the exempt product.

The best way for you as a consumer to invest in a Land-Based Real Estate or exempt investment is to have your advisor refer you to the company selling the product so that you have proper understanding of the investment.
