Now, let us introduce you to the next generation of publishing and what the future of empowered investors looks like with a tool that combines business process with lessons from publishing, retail store management and customer success.

At this magazine, we have a duty to “tell it like it is.” We shine a spotlight on deserving companies that are helping further this industry (see our Top 50 list starting on Page 58) and we also call your attention to those individuals and entities that do not put the interests of investors first.

Real estate investing is not hard, but there are a lot of moving parts.  Personal Real Estate Investor Magazine can help you make sense of it all.

Non-traded assets like property — versus traded assets like stocks, bonds and funds — ultimately offer a lot more security and transparency because they are tangible, recorded assets. Add the fact that it can be coupled with real strategies to reduce risk and suddenly property — especially income real estate — is a sure-fire winner compared to stocks, bonds and funds. 

In the March-April issue we also investigate the tug-o-war between investors, HOA and master-planned communities. This is a vital measure for investors. Some five years after an Indiana Supreme Court ruling supporting homeowners associations, the debate continues as to whether property investors should have the right to rent out their homes. And from all appearances, the fight isn’t over by a long shot.

Included in the March-April issue is another Investor Review Series publication, Rent Risk Begone. Can you reduce rental risk and protect profit? Yes, you can!

Every New Year, a publisher is tempted to predict what trends lie ahead.  2013 was a transition year, but after two years of aggressive institutional buying, housing markets will find stablity is the new normal.  Find out what we forsee in 2014.

Additionally, the January-February issue includes 2 bonus supplements as we continue the Investor Review Series with the Buy-To-Rent publication and the Brad Sumrok Multifamily Investing Events & Mentoring supplement.
