Tired Of Playing With Stocks? Buy something REAL!

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty One Group Mountain Desert AZDRE# SA582422000

Cartoon of a businessman with an upset stomachInstead of wondering if your latest thought about investing in the company that makes the best antacid or anxiety medicine is a strategy born of genius...

Rather than watching your investment disappear as a company becomes worthless...

As a choice for stability in the long-term instead of today's roller-coaster ride...Graph line superimposed on a financials page

It just might be worthwhile to go back to basics and put your money into something REAL for once!

Companies come, companies go
Dow Jones can be fickle, you know

This one's good, this one's bad
Without even knowing, you got had

Enron me once
Tyco me twice
Global Crossing and more

Once upon a time
Grandpa spoke some sage advice:

"Houses are houses, and houses shall be
Dirt doesn't go bye-bye nor
parachute its way free"

"It might not be thrilling
or chilling or what

When paper goes crashing
that which is real
should garner a thought"

The values may rise very fast or real slow
Regardless of market
There's still something to show

Ideas come forward,
make noise and get stale
Arthur Andersen and other
White Whales

More fortunes are made
from realty, you know
let someone else be
the last one to go

So come on investors,
the savvy, the sane
I'm here to help you,
your serenity regain.

Time to put your money in Tucson real estate, my friends.  I'm ready to take your call.

Kent, love the poem!  Sounds like the advice I got from my grandmother a bunch of years ago!

Awesome poem Kent did you make this up yourself?  I've definitely been seeing increased investor interest since the stock market has been decreasing I guess people are starting to understand that real estate is a real investment.  Its not just paper.

Thanks for being the first to comment, Patricia - our elders know a thing or two, don't they? (as long as we keep them away from the computer sometimes) LOL

Thank you, Justin - it had been rattling around in my head in various forms...just wanting me to quit playing with it!

 hi Kent, as an ex NASDAQ day trader who survived the 97 crash I totally agree  with your post/advice. I made a lot of $$$ in the stock market, eventually lost some but the best investment I ever made was my home.

 BTW, that was a very creative way to get your ideas across, thx for sharing it!

i beg to differ -I want 50% real estate   50% stock -they both go up and down and at different times they both make you want to pull your hair out.

Nice poem...no better time to invest in AZ real estate than right now.  Prices are at an all time low and rents are strong in many areas.  Sounds like you got your figure on the pulse in the Tucson market!!!

If you end up getting investors that want to invest in the Phoenix - Metro area, you should check out www.GoRealEstateInvestor.com.  We have a ton of inventory to choose from that sells cheaper than the banks without any of the hassles!

Cheers,
