The battle to convert potential home buyers to active income property investors is a tough one for realtor agents. Despite the fact that you have numbers and history on your side, the Wall Street stock market media brainwash is tough to overcome. At AIPIS we completely believe that real estate investing is the true path to wealth in America and, every once in a while, a glaringly simple, stark statistic arises to prove our point.

Here’s one: For the time span between 2004 and 2009, the number of renter households in America increased by nearly 10% or 3.4 million households. Those are some big numbers, bubba. More renters means more opportunities for landlords to reach the land of financial independence through passive income. In the face of this rise, which shows no signs of slowing any time soon, why on earth would people standing on the sidelines with pre-approved loans not turn their attention to income properties rather than moving up in the home ownership arena?

The answer is simple. Lack of education. It’s your job as a cutting edge realtor agent to fill them in. And while you shouldn’t proceed under the assumption that every one will be giddy with delight at the idea, there will be a few who quickly appreciate the realistic chance to earn 20% to 30% annual return on investment rather than the 5% to 10% from traditional investments like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

We are perhaps witnessing the reorganization of the American Dream from home ownership to long-term renting. The smart money sees what’s happening in the big picture and figures out how to profit from it. The AIPIS certification course was created to teach realtor agents and mortgage professionals how to interpret and understand income property investing. Start now by calling 714-820-4200. We’ll show you how to make money with perhaps the oldest investment in history – good, old earth.
