Are real estate investments really beneficial?

[DIANNE]

My Regards to the community, I am working in a private firm and really want to secure my future by doing some investments as I can’t be so dependent on my current job forever for all my basic needs. . Can somebody help me, to make me decide that where should I invest my money to get long term profits?

Dianne,
Having worked in real estate for almost seven years now I can tell you a little bit about where the profit lies. I will be as short and direct as possible. In most highly populated areas there is little if any "true profit" to be made. Profit in real estate depends on one thing- unrealized potential. The value to be gained may be hidden in any of the "money makers" of the business like: demolition and rebuild, land in desireable but lowly populated areas, complete rehab or the parcel's chances for achieving a change in use. Each subject property can be affected differently by any number of variables. I know it sounds stupid but the key is to see what most others never take the time to look at.
