Agricultural production using aquaponics technology is on the rise… and so is the cost of investing in the opportunity that this fast-growing trend represents. Three years ago, in the course of my ongoing search for cash-flowing real estate opportunities, I identified a specific aquaponics project offering a turnkey option for individual investors projecting returns up […]
Where I’ll Plant My Money In 2019 And Watch It Grow No matter how big or small your real estate investment portfolio, it should include agriculture. We live in a world with an exploding population and dwindling arable land. We’re looking at more than 9 billion people on this planet by the middle of this [...]
Up To 24% Per Year For Me… And A Legacy Of Income For My Kids, Too My approach to investing in real estate has evolved since my first real estate purchase when I was 27 years old.
