�DOROTHEA BRANDE Real Estate: The Best Wealth Builder in the Universe Why is real estate investing the best wealth builder in the universe? The answer is simple: Everyone needs a place to live, and real estate values usually go up over time. I can assure you that, in the next 20years, your real estate property will probably double, triple, perhaps even quadruple in value. If you are in a hot market, it might even go up 10 to 20 times. When is the time to get into real estate investing? Yesterday. Real estate increases its value to build wealth, but there are other reasons why real estate investing, compared with any other investing, is the best.

You borrowed all of the money to make this happen; you did not use your own. The minute you own this property, your bank and your financial statement say you have an asset worth $500,000 and a $300,000 loan against it. Congratulations. Your net worth just went up $200,000.
