Heart of the Home Dining

If you want safety when investing in real estate, the surest path is to invest in income producing properties. Certainly many investors have made money betting on the appreciation in values of houses, or bought land and doubled their money when the growth of a city headed their way. But these are much riskier ways to invest, as the last few years have shown. Today (2009) real estate has fallen as much as 45% in value in many areas. But guess who has not been hurt by this? Those who bought properties producing positive cash flow. Whatever has happened to the price they could get for their properties, they are still making money while their renters are paying off their loans for them.
