Overview
Main description
Your investing options aren’t confined to
stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Those
are merely the most common investments
and, as recent history proves, certainly not the
safest or most profitable. How to Make Money
in Alternative Investments introduces you to
more than 40 places to invest your money
outside the traditional avenues.
Popular tax-strategist team Hubert and Lisa
Bromma have written a prescriptive guide to
help you take your portfolio to the next step.
The key is to invest directly in an entity and
to design your investment to be tax-free or
tax-deferred. How to Make Money in Alternative
Investments is your blueprint to entering
unique markets, including:
- Private Lending
- Precious Metals
- Natural Resources
- “Green” Investing
- International Sources
- Real Estate
- Business-to-Business Cash Flows
How to Make Money in Alternative Investments
provides you with numerous success stories
that illustrate exactly how it’s done—from one
investor who makes private loans of $50,000
that return 12.5 percent interest to another
who makes millions investing in water rights
in Wyoming.
True financial freedom today begins and ends
with you. No longer can you trust a third party
to make the wisest possible decisions regarding
your future. You need to reject the “standard”
double-digit losses of your life savings
and take control of your own investments.
How to Make Money in Alternative Investments
helps you branch out on your own by
making intelligent choices in the markets
where you see potential. It’s the only way to
avoid losses in our struggling economy—and
it’s the best way to build wealth that will see
you well into the future.
