[FONT=Arial]Yes, I can help you in your query. As being a private firm employee every person secures his future so there is nothing wrong in it if you are also thinking the same. But if you are looking for a long term investment I will suggest you [url=http://blog.ira-401k-realestate.com/about/]real estate investment[/url].These are basically the long term beneficial investments. >>[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]I hope it will actually help you.>>[/FONT]

It is important to evaluate what you current financial status is, before you start an investment program. Real Estate is good if, and only if, you can purchase your first home without an Adjustable Rate Mortgage.

Next, plan to purchase your home with an eye toward [B]living[/B] in it, not just flipping it. This allows you to make upgrades at a leisurely pace while preserving your credit rating and the euqiqty can be used to purchase your next property.

DianaH is totally right never sign a mortgage that has a ARM or adjustable rate mortgage. If they try and push you into that walk out the door telling them that was the deal breaker and you'll be around in a year or so to see if they have changed their policies, and if they are still in business.

Normally I would have said to invest in land and homes. But I'm not so sure about that right now. I'd say oil, precious metals and diamonds. Those are sure to bring in a nice profit.

I think that a good piece of land is a good starting point. Later, a home can be built for an even better investment. Stay away from manufactured homes, even though they are all fancy now. Try to get a good deal, and inquire about the average prices per acre in the area. Negotiate as much as you can.
As already stated only get a fixed rate.

I am really not convinced now is a good time to be investing in real estate, but starting with a small piece of real estate could be a good way to get your feet wet in investing.

If you really want to invest in real estate, then go for land. Land value fluctuates, but you should gain from it later on, with smart moves.
