Realty411 Magazine The Future of Real Estate is Here | Page 11

T by Linda Pliagas publisher, agent, investor hank you for spending some time with us, I hope you enjoy our new issue. We are excited to show off our largest print edition to date. When we started the publication in 2007, it was a modest 16 pages and printed on newsprint; now we own multiple publications, numerous real estate websites, and we are producing expos around the coun- try. We’ve really grown tremendously, and I’d like to thank our loyal readers and our advertisers for their support. Now it’s our time to give back, which is why we are devoting the entire 2014 to traveling across the country to host complimentary expos and mixers to connect with as many in- vestors and industry professionals as possible. From New York City to San Francisco and Indianapolis to McAllen, Texas, we want to learn the nuances about a variety of markets so we can better educate our readers. Over the years, investors from around the nation have relied on our magazine to make informed decisions on where to invest, what type of properties to focus on, or whom to train with to further their real estate education. I take my position as publisher very seriously, and I’m proud that I have been in the industry over 11 years as a licensed real estate agent in California. Besides assisting many with their real estate transactions by referring them to brokers around the country, I have also personally purchased, managed, and sold millions of dollars worth of real estate in five states. Real estate is such an exciting industry and, to me, finding solid rental properties is exhilarating. I truly enjoy the art of real estate. In fact, my husband and I recently closed escrow last month on two phenomenal rental properties in Santa Barbara County. Both were purchased for half of what the market was just a few years ago and apprecia- tion, in this particular area, is already starting to set in! Folks, if we can locate two value-priced properties in one of the most expensive areas of California, I know you can find some solid deals in your market too. If being a landlord is not your style, then perhaps you’re better suited being a private money lender or a note buyer. How about purchasing tax liens or maybe even a hotel? The beauty of real estate is that opportunities for investing are diverse, a lot of avenues for prosperity exist. It’s up to each of us to learn what type of real estate best suits our personality, needs and goals. I hope this publication can give you some ideas and resources to help you in your journey. Until next time, I truly enjoy the art of Real Estate. Linda Pliagas PS: Be sure to keep up to date with our travel schedule by visiting www.Realty411guide.com/events for our calendar.
