I Practice What I Preach –– It Just Makes Great Investing Sense
For many years now, my firm ICG or the International Capital Group Real Estate Investments has been helping people invest in real estate to grow their wealth. ICG has helped them secure their retirement riches, fund big purchases, kids’ education or just a higher standard of living, they tell me. But they also ask me, “Adiel, do you follow your own advice? Do you invest in property as you advise others to?”
I am ICG’s biggest investor.
My answer to them is, I absolutely do follow my advice. It is my own experience that has taught me that brand new single family homes are the best option. It all started with me wanting to create wealth for myself. As a Silicon Valley engineer, I wasn’t content to just keep grinding away with nothing much to show after decades of hard work.
So, ICG is something that I started for myself and a small group of investor friends. It was born out of my desire to create an empire for myself. It grew from then on, but I still continued to be the biggest investor for the firm. I have invested in literally hundreds of properties. We have closed thousands of deals over the years, and those include my own investments as well. So yes, I certainly follow my own advice and I continue to invest in real estate – same as I tell my clients.
Getting the ICG advantage.
If you choose wisely, the property will start to yield a rental income right away and the prices will appreciate over time to give you great longer term benefits. This is what we help you do at ICG. People tell me how ICG has helped them connect with developers, financers, property managers and so on. We have our ear to the ground and have a network of connections that make it all very simple for investors – what we call remote control investing.
The bottom line is that I put my money where my mouth is. I own more properties than any other ICG investor. Over time, I gained valuable insight into the business of real estate investments and this is the insight that my team and I share with our clients.
I have bought hundreds of homes, and I would buy even more properties than I currently have – except for this small issue. Click to find out what it is.
