Succession planning, or planning for your future and that of your children, is an issue that many people think about, but are scared of. There aren’t many resources around that will offer some ideas and guidance in this area, so I have put together a few simple tips and strategies to help you on your way. These ideas can work for people of any age and of any income level. They involve a little discipline and some education, but can be extremely profitable if done wisely and properly. And the best part is, income from these investments will not only provide income for you, but also for your children for years to come.
So where do you start?
Well I strongly advise you to get the ebook “Discover How to Create Wealth – No Matter How Much You Earn”, if you haven’t done so already. It contains many tips and tricks to save money, which will help you get the deposit you need (in case you are unable to save on your own!). If you have budgeted the best you possibly can and still can’t save enough, then there are some great ideas of how to increase your income (without giving up your ‘day job’.) You may even like to adopt both strategies, that is saving and earning extra, and get on your road to financial freedom twice as quickly.
The most important chapters in the ebook, however, go through how to use your money to create wealth. Now the focus of the book is investing in real estate. I strongly believe, with all my heart, that this is the best and safest form of investing your hard earned dollars, to get the best income, which will last for now and well into the future. In other reports as well as in the book, I go through the benefits of property investing. Just to give you a quick insight though, you can earn income immediately from real estate, as long as you purchase properties with a positive cash flow (you will learn how to do this in the book). Not only do you get immediate income, but you get capital growth of the property (ies), tax deductions for interest, repairs etc and many other benefits.
Now how does this fit into succession planning?
The benefits that I have just outlined go a long way into planning for retirement as well as planning to leave your children a decent ‘gift’ when you leave. What better thing could you leave them than an income-producing asset, that will keep on producing for them for as long as they want it to.
What if you have 3 children?
No problem. Invest in 3 (or more) properties. I go through how to do this in the book. It really isn’t as hard as it sounds. Once you have invested in the first one, then you are half way there. That is the hardest step, that first one. You need to have confidence but more importantly, knowledge in what you are doing (visit www.toolsforwealth.com for some great strategies to gain knowledge from the professionals in their fields).
Once you have done it once, the process becomes easier and quicker, and from there you can create wealth very quickly if you want to. So learn how to invest in positive cash flow property and then take action and do it. Increase the value of that property by perhaps doing some minor renovations or just buy below market value and then you will have some equity in that property to borrow against so you can repeat the process. Do this 3 times and you have a property for each of your children.
It doesn’t sound that hard does it? Well it really isn’t once you get into it.
So plan for your future as well as that of your children and you will all be better off now and in the long run.
Good luck and happy investing.
