CAMP of the ARTS '92 Session I June 22 - July 16 Session II July 20 - August 13 7th - 12th grades REAL ESTATE UPDATE Ray A. Fox, Licensed Realtor NEARLY IDEAL INVESTMENT QUESTION: Why has the ownership of real estate been such a good investment over the years? ANSWER: Historically, real estate has been nearly the ideal investment. During inflation, real estate's value has increased faster than the general price rise. In times of recession, real estate has maintained a higher value than most other assets. When we combine the growth forces of real estate with the advantages of leverage (using other people's money) and then add the incomparable tax benefits — we can readily understand why more million- aires are made in real estate than in any other endeavor. HISTORICALLY real estate has always been an excel- lent Investment for many reasons. Please Phone Ray A.
