Real Estate for Retirement

More Americans have become millionaires through real estate than any other investment. Whether you are a beginning investor buying single family homes or a veteran investing in large commercial developments, real estate offers flexibility, security and opportunities few other investments can.

For years investors have successfully been buying real estate as a retirement vehicle. Real estate carries a sense of security that other retirement vehicles don’t. As a tangible asset that has a track record of stellar performance, more Americans are turning to the “ole’ faithful” method of building wealth through real estate.

There are many techniquest to building wealth through real estate.  At Citywide we can help you along the way...step-by-step. Talk to one of our reps today and see how you can join the ranks of our many other successful investor-clients!

Passive vs. Active Investing

Traditionally, real estate has been “high touch,” meaning at times one would have to interrupt their daily (and often nightly) life to make emergency visits or repairs to properties. In essence, this factor can make real estate a job rather than an investment. For some investors this is not an option. Other jobs and obligations make this type of “active” investing impossible, regardless of the great benefits it may provide. Some types of investing (such as Self Directed IRA’s) even prohibit being actively involved with the asset. The simple act of driving a nail in a loose shingle can cause a plethora of tax consequences. Your time is very valuable.  With this in mind, we have developed a unique and detailed system of alleviating this burden.  Citywide can help you make your real estate investments an investment rather than a job.

Asset Acquisition Services

Locating and acquiring good assets is the first step to success in real estate investing. It is said you make money in real estate when you buy, not when you sell. Citywide is a HUD approved real estate company. This means we have the ability to access and sell HUD owned foreclosures. We also actively sell bank foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, distressed properties, REO’s, and we keep tabs on nearly every FSBO that comes on the market in the entire metro area.  These factors, along with traditional methods of locating quality investment properties, (MLS, extensive network of investors, rehabbers, wholesalers, etc.) keeps Citywide ahead of the pack when it comes to getting the best asset at the best price.
