I’m no Donald Trump. I don’t even consider myself a professional real estate investor. I’m a professional marketer who has made real estate investing a nice sideline business. But in the 11 years that I’ve been doing it, my real estate portfolio has grown and grown. As an income producer, real estate has never failed to provide me with less than a very substantial income. As an asset builder, my rental real estate properties have all paid for themselves and provided me with a rate of return that is at least 10 times what I’ve been able to get from stocks and bonds.
