The Perfect Investment: Create Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily Housing

The American Dream has shifted…Not long ago, Americans were bent on home ownership. Most viewed it as one of their great life goals and their largest investment. No more. Almost overnight, the demographics have shifted. For an increasing number of Americans of all ages and backgrounds, renting is in, and home ownership is out.

Experienced commercial real estate investors know that the risk profile, returns and tax benefits of large scale multifamily are virtually unmatched. Unfortunately, access to these investments is unavailable to most investors. The author takes you on a journey through his surprising discoveries about the power of this unique asset class. The Perfect Investment teaches you…

• The secrets used by the super-wealthy to attain and maintain their wealth over generations (and why you’re not invited to their party).
• Why multifamily investing scored 460% better than the stock market on a key risk vs. reward ratio.
• Why investing in flips, single family rentals, and small apartments is a not a path to multi-generational wealth for the vast majority of people.
• Why US demographics, the economy, and the fallout from the last recession have caused the perfect storm for the success of this asset class.
• How multifamily investors “partner" with the IRS to reap significant profits while paying virtually no taxes. (Your CPA may not know these tax codes, but you need to!)

“The Perfect Investment is extremely compelling. So much so, that as soon as I finished reading the book, I contacted Paul and said, “I’m in!” As an early stage entrepreneur that is always swinging for the fences on high-risk, high-growth startups, this is a much-needed wakeup call to balance my investment strategy with the highest return/lowest risk investment available.
