Jon Swire, author and creator of the program There’s No Free Lunch In Real Estate, will be speaking at the NAR EXPO in San Diego on November 15, 2009.  His program, titled Turning Homeowners Into Investors: Earn More Commissions with 2-4 Unit Properties, teaches residential real agents how they can earn more commissions with their existing client base as well as develop a new line of business selling 2-4 unit income properties.

Amid the tumultuous real estate market today there is one bright spot to be found.  The opportunity for Homeowners to start investing.  With interest rates still near historic lows and prices back down to 2002 and below levels in most places, now is a great time to consider investing in real estate.   And with most pundits predicting rapid inflation over the next few years, an investment in real estate provides the perfect hedge because the rental income one collects will grow over time if for no other reason than inflation.  And while your income is growing the single largest monthly expense borne by investors, their mortgage payment, will remain constant and fixed at today’s low interest rates.

The real question is where investors turn for sage advice on how to take advantage of these opportunities.  Swire has written a book and created a program to do just that.  As a practicing commercial real estate agent for Coldwell Banker he is currently speaking to groups around the country on how to Turn Homeowners Into Investors.  The key he says is to identify the right opportunities and make sure the property you buy makes sense today as well as tomorrow.  “The biggest reason most investors got in trouble over the past few years and ended up ‘upside down’ was because they invested in assets that didn’t cash flow or debt cover” says Swire, who preaches that any investment you make must generate enough rental income to cover all your expenses as well as your mortgage and leave a little cash flow left over for you each and every month.

“The fact is that tremendous opportunities exist around the country to start investing.  Now is the time to take advantage of today’s low prices and interest rates to create the foundation of your future wealth.”  You can learn more about his program by visiting www.TheresNoFreeLunchInRealEstate.com .   He discusses how you can make sounds investments over time to generate a passive income stream you can one day retire on.  His information is broken down into easy to understand chunks and he offers videos and webinars which discuss different investing topics.

“The time is now…if you wait you’ll look back at this time, much like people have looked back at the late 1990’s, and wish you had acted.  Prices are low, interest rates are low and inflation is coming.  Take advantage of this opportunity and diversify your portfolio.”

Readers Praise Troccoli

Opalesque Technical Research is unique compared to most available research which is fundamental in nature, and not technically (chart) oriented. According to BusinessWeek, “Troccoli, Director of Technical Research for alternative investment news outlet Opalesque, has been correct through the market’s run-up.” An investment manager from a large U.S. pension consultant emailed Opalesque on June 22nd 2009 that “Troccoli’s call in March saved us and our clients from getting out of the market in March. Well worth the price of the subscription, since our accounts are up over 30 percent for the year!”.  Dr. Boaz Barack, Member of Senior Management, Credit Suisse Private Banking confirms: “I fully enjoy your reports. I have been on the technical side for almost 30 years and could appreciate your comments. Keep on doing the good work!” Bill Grandy from Thomas Lloyd adds: “Un-estimateable value!”.

Opalesque Technical Research is a must-read for everyone who needs a brief and efficient update on global financial markets. Understanding the events and dynamics of the global markets has become essential because of the increased correlations: “Although I am not a trader, your Technical Research is an excellent way to keep up with the broader markets.” (Chris Gosselin, C.E.O.,  Australian Fund Monitors Pty Ltd.).
