FAQ
Should I invest in real estate?
Real Estate Investments offer passive income and are a great way to make money. However, you will need a large amount of capital up front.
Real Estate is not the best option for you if your goal is to make quick returns.
Instead, consider putting your money into dividend-paying stocks. These stocks pay you monthly dividends which can be reinvested for additional earnings.
Can I make a 401k investment?
401Ks can be a great investment vehicle. However, they aren't available to everyone.
Most employers give their employees the option of putting their money in a traditional IRA or leaving it in the company's plan.
This means that you are limited to investing what your employer matches.
If you take out your loan early, you will owe taxes as well as penalties.
Should I diversify my portfolio?
Many believe diversification is key to success in investing.
In fact, many financial advisors will tell you to spread your risk across different asset classes so that no single type of security goes down too far.
But, this strategy doesn't always work. In fact, it's quite possible to lose more money by spreading your bets around.
Imagine you have $10,000 invested, for example, in stocks, commodities, and bonds.
Imagine the market falling sharply and each asset losing 50%.
At this point, there is still $3500 to go. But if you had kept everything in one place, you would only have $1,750 left.
In real life, you might lose twice the money if your eggs are all in one place.
It is crucial to keep things simple. Take on no more risk than you can manage.

These are some helpful tips to help you get started if you don't know how to begin.
-
Do research. Find out as much as possible about the market you want to enter and what competitors are already offering.

Be sure to fully understand your product/service. Know what your product/service does. Who it helps and why it is important. It's important to be familiar with your competition when you attempt to break into a new sector.
