We’re not talking about just any old bank. The AIPIS accreditation can put more money into your bank account. This year! For whatever reason, we humans have chosen to mark the passage of time annually. Every time the calendar rolls around to January, our minds pause to ruminate on what we’ve accomplished in our lives and what is yet left to do. Promises are made and often broken: lose weight, quit smoking, get a better job, learn a foreign language, travel, earn more money.

Let’s stop and talk about that last one – earn more money. If you’re already a practicing real estate agent or mortgage professional, the capacity to boost your income, perhaps considerably, is only a simple accreditation away. AIPIS stands for Accredited Income Property Investment Specialist. That’s a mouthful. Now you see why we use an acronym? By completing the online coursework involved in achieving this designation, you can do the following:

1. Educate clients about the astounding profit potential in income property investment. For people raised on Wall Street returns, which lag down around 10% during a good year, numbers like 30% and more return on investment might seem fanciful but it’s not. It’s amazing what a conservative income property approach can achieve when the power of leverage is properly applied. But the bottom line is this. The more investors your coach to buy, the more commissions you make.

2. Direct investing. What you’re going to notice as you go through the AIPIS coursework is a warm, excited feeling that begins in the center of your belly and works its way slowly up to your brain. There’s a good chance you will be putting the knowledge you acquire to profitable use in your own investments before too long.

3. Acronym Titles. Let’s tell it like it is. People are impressed with a title that includes acronyms signifying advanced degrees or training, even if they have no clue what the designation actually means. To the Yellow Pages browser or Internet surfer, that AIPIS sure will look impressive when compared to the average agent with nothing after his name but blank space.

All the instructors and professional counselors at AIPIS would like to take this opportunity to invite you to make this year the year that you finally do something big. Get accredited and learn about the best investment in history at the same time.
