What is the Perfect Investment?
My guest today, Paul Moore has his view on that question, and he feels so strongly about it that he wrote a book called "The Perfect Investment - Create Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily Housing".
Join Paul and me as we talk about Multifamily and Apartment Investing; the compelling demographics and trends, market selection, the barriers to entry, and the tax benefits that can create enduring wealth.
Paul has a lot of great stories to share and his warning to always 'look for the flies in the deal' is invaluable. I know you'll find a lot in this conversation that will help you become a more confident and successful real estate investor.
I also highly recommend his new book "The Perfect Investment - Create Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily Housing" which is available on amazon.com and his website: http://www.wellingscapital.com/

You may have seen or heard my guest on CNN, CNBC, NPR, Fox News, CBS Marketwatch and the Wall Street Journal. However, a 3 minute news blurb is not enough to learn all the knowledge and wisdom Kathy Fettke has to share. That's why I know you're going to get a lot of value out of our podcast conversation today.
Kathy Fettke is passionate about helping people create real wealth - which she defines as the freedom and money to live life on your own terms. She's the CEO and founder of "Real Wealth Network", which is a California based real estate investment group with over 16,000 members.
Kathy also hosts two extremely popular podcasts - "The Real Wealth Show", and "Real Estate News for Investors with Kathy Fettke". She's also the author of the popular book "Retire Rich with Rentals" which is available on amazon.com.
During our conversation, Kathy and I discuss areas of opportunity around the country, as well as 'bubble areas' that Kathy is helping her investors move their money out of. Kathy shares how she and her husband overcame a major life obstacle to begin investing in real estate, and whether or not the market is heading for another downturn.
There's a lot of great information packed into the episode that will make you look at real estate investing in a new light. Enjoy!
