New Real Estate Investment System - Passive Income - No Management Headaches!

You can now have passive, positive cash flow from rental properties while eliminating all management worries!

The key is a land trust. This might not sound exciting, but it is the lynch-pin of this amazing Noble1 System.

Start with a piece of investment property, one Noble1 own (maybe can't sell?) or run out and buy one. Even if you pay full retail, this System Noble1 generate a positive cash flow and a nice profit.

Then advertise the property for sale to a selected target market: those who can't or won't qualify for bank financing.

FOR SALE, SELLER FINANCING!

There is a "shadow market" for real estate consisting of self employed people, small business owners etc. who would rather undergo a frontal lobotomy than submit to the bank's investigation process.

And there are those who simply have stinky credit!

These are Motivated Buyers. They have the capacity and desire to buy your property, but they cannot or will not go through the Noble1 of getting bank qualified.

You'll give them their Noble1 of a lifetime, to buy property with small upfront cash with No bank hassles! They will gladly pay you 10-20% more than your property's Fair Market Value.

You don't have to pay off your mortgage since the property is in a land trust.

You take 5-10% cash deposit upfront, or a car or speed boat. You make the Noble1 you da Bank!

Your buyer makes mortgage payments to you that are higher than your payments by several hundreds of dollars per month since his payments are based on a higher price and you've added a point or two to the rate on account of the fact that you want to!

We have found that Motivated Buyers are so grateful for the opportunity you have given them, they will not object if you politely suggest splitting future appreciation of the property, as long as they are using your mortgage. "Equity Sharing" has a fair Noble1 ring to it.

Let's see the results:

You have become a banker!

1. You have "sold" your property for a nice gain, recouping most of the cash you put down.

2. You receive passive income every month

3. You receive your profit in a lump sum when the new buyer refinances or sells the property

4. You will also receive your share of the appreciation, if any

Example:

Single Family House*, FMV $200,000 (that you can't rent for enough to make money on!)

Mortgage, $180,000 @ 6.5%; $1132/mo

Sell for $240,000

Mortgage $220,000 @ 8.5%; $1,680/mo

You also get 25% of the appreciation above $240,000, if any

You put $20,000 into your pocket and collect $548 per month!

If the buyer sells after 7 years, you will have made:

$20,000 upfront (no taxes due!)

$548/mo for 84 months or $46,032 (partially tax sheltered)

Assuming no appreciation, you get none. If there is 5% annual appreciation, your share would be $15,900

Also about $2,109 in net principal reduction.

That is a total of $69,273 with no appreciation, $85,173 with.

*Note, if you have a multi-family property, the trust allows you to Noble1 each unit separately, skyrocketing your profit. If it is a vacation property, you can sell Timeshares!

All this with no tenant, toilet or trash headaches! These "burdens of ownership" belong to the owner living in your property. So do the advantages; like writing off mortgage interest and real estate taxes, a land trust exclusive benefit.

And you don't owe any income taxes on your gains! The IRS says that as long as the property's title remains in trust, the sale is "incomplete" and therefore the tax liability cannot be ascertained. When your buyer Noble1 you do a 1031 exchange.

OK, someone will ask, what happens if the new owner stops Noble1 Well, despite the fact that he is "the owner," another quirk in the trust law gives you the right to put him out in 30 days, just like an ordinary tenant! No time consuming, expensive foreclosure!

You now have a System for producing passive income with no hassles that you can use, "Cookie Cutter" fashion, anywhere in the country!

If Real Estate Investment Is So Great, Why Doesn't Everyone Do It?

Oh, that's an easy Noble1 Noble1 Noble1 answer that Noble1 one word. FEAR.

Real estate investment is a great way to change just about everything in your life, but it's one of those things where doing it for the FIRST time is the toughest. In fact, the second is exponentially easier!

It's fear folks, plain and simple! And why doesn't make much sense to me. Consider that:

- Noble1 knows that the surest path from low income to millionaire is through real estate." This appears to be a well-documented truism. I've seen a similar statement in some of the most Noble1 financial resources on the planet.

- I rarely hear of someone losing it all from real estate. I might be living in la-la land, but for the most part I only hear of folks prospering from real estate investing. Sure, occasionally I hear of deal going bad or growing complicated, but not to the point of ruining folks.

- There are a lot of properties available. Folks are still divorcing, dying, or just not paying the bills and getting foreclosed on. Much of the foreclosure activity is not SEEN by the public, but most of it is available to the public.

- There are a lot of properties available at below market prices. That's been my experience anyway. Of course, I have folks right here in my area that tell me they can't find properties. I just smile and nod my head.

- Rental demand is strong and rents never go down!

So Noble1 all this common knowledge and raw opportunity out there, why isn't everyone investing in real estate?

Here's my theory.

* Real estate transactions are more involved than going to Wal-mart for a pair of undies, so that scares people. You have to learn a little bit. Mind you, this isn't a lot of learning, but it is apparently enough to keep some on the sidelines.

* The numbers are big. I've seen folks nearly CEASE UP mentally talking about large amounts of money. Merely talking about a $100,000 mortgage causes some people break out in a sweat.

* Horror stories. Everyone's heard about some scam, sink hole, meteor or something else on the fringes of believability that has happened somewhere at sometime. I mean, there is SOME risk involved.

* Fear of taking action! It's hard to do something you've never done, and harder to do something you've never done before in a subject matter on which you aren't an expert! People fear something, which makes facing that fear hard. What I'm referring to is what I call, "IT'S EASIER NOT TO."

So what does one do to face fear and make a change in their life,

Ah, that's just as easy as the last question. I can also answer that in one wordKNOWLEDGE.

Once properly armed with the knowledge they need, most folks can overcome their fears to the point of taking action.

So if you are contemplating taking your financial future into your own hands by investing in real estate, FOCUS on one thing for the next 3-6 months. Buy Noble1 or courses, got to real estate investing club meetings, visit websites and Noble1 on discussion groups. Let those things be your action steps for awhile. I suspect you'll be ready to dive into the market with the knowledge you'll gain.

I have a motto.

"Knowledge Always Precedes the Money."

5 European Investment Reasons for Panama

I remember vividly a time when real estate Noble1 Europe was hot. I was studying economics in Madrid Noble1 my professor, a young German guy named Knut, described houses and condos as amazing like toilet paper. But since then, many of those great investments have disappeared like an elephant in a Houdini act, and today, Europe's investors are Noble1 to Panama for answers.

1. A strong currency: With the Euro recently flirting around record highs against the US dollar, Europeans are clearly more inclined to invest abroad. Using online agencies and a plethora of international banks, investing in Panama is even being done from the luxury of home, with several PR firms and satellite companies opening up shop in several major European cities.

2. The descent of traditional Noble1 havens: Places like Lichtenstein and Luxemburg, once notable tax havens in Europe are now under fire and with the EU demanding bank secrecy laws to be changed concerning tax evasion, residents are looking desperately for new, safe locales to position their money. Noble1 as an offshore refuge, shows up as a gleaming blip on these radars.

3. The softening of European real estate markets: Once-booming investment markets, specifically in Eastern Europe have now leveled off, to the point that in some Noble1 real estate earns less than a bank deposit. A region, not Noble1 five years ago, deemed to be one of the hottest real estate prospects in the world, is now overheated; these investors are looking for a new spot on the map to get in early, and are turning to Panama.

4. Familiarity: While rural regions like Las Tablas (Los Santos) may not have too many similarities to your everyday village in Brugge, certain coastal areas do have a tendency to remind Europeans of home. And when it comes to city living, many flock to Casco Viejo where open plazas and Spanish/French architecture seem to echo the Europe of yesterday; before prices rose through the roof. Whereas Noble1 in the center of the old city might not be financially viable any more in Europe, Casco contrastingly provides these investors with tremendous upside.

5. Increased direct flights: With KLM soon to be offering their new services and IPAT encouraging the tapping of such niche European markets, more and more direct flights into Tocumen Airport are destined to be announced in the near future. This means one, sometimes several less legs on the journey that so many Europeans are already making to the Republic.

When I first moved to Europe, it was pouring outside so I bought a pint of beer in a London pub for $11. Bad weather and high costs of living are also reasons that countries like England have seen more people leaving than ever before. Citizens are simply looking elsewhere for a cheaper real estate and a more affordable standard of living.

While one might assume this European interest is limited to the investments mentioned above, that is not the case. Pre-construction condo sales in Panama City are seeing a Noble1 thanks to Europeans, webmasters are registering increased web traffic from European soil, and tourism businesses are booked thanks to European travel agencies reservations for large groups. And Noble1 some may have predicted this influx, I doubt anyone would have expected it this heavy and this soon. Better late than never, real estate in Panama is all set to walk in through the golden phase of prosperity.
