2. Commercial Real Estate
   Melvin Scoville
   I thought I'd take a quick moment to give a definition of Commercial Real Estate and go over a few of the key advantages of commercial real estate over other investments that are out there. Basically in real estate there are two broad categories to invest in: Residential and Non-Residential Residential would include Single Family Homes and Multifamily Homes, or Apartments. The other bucket would be Non-Residential. When we talk about Commercial Real Estate on the site . . . Real Estate Articles

   Melvin Scoville
   One of the most Frequently Asked Questions we get from Members at MyPlatinumClub.com is: "What should I expect to pay in Property Management Fees for my apartment property?" This is a really great question and something that can be a big key to how profitable your property will ultimately be for you. The short answer to this question is really, "It depends..."

7. Real Estate Investment Club
   Melvin Scoville
   Should you become a member of a Real Estate Investment Club? I'll give you my take on this in just a moment, but first I wanted to comment that there has been a huge surge in the number of clubs across the US and Canada in recent years. Strong housing markets across the U.S. and Canada helped fuel the number of local clubs...which as of late have been declining. A little bit of 'weeding out' has been occuring - both in the market and with local investment clubs. This is a good thing, in my opinion, and I think the good investment clubs will continue . . .

   Melvin Scoville

This is a really great question and a very important one because good property management can make the difference between a marginal investment and one that is doing extremely well. First I wanted to talk about a subject that we've covered before on the site and that's focusing on being an "Asset Manager" versus a "Property Manager". . . . Real Estate Articles

17. Are You An Owner Or An Investor?
    Darin Garman, CCIM
    Are You An Owner Or An Investor? I thought it would be a good idea to talk about being... More investor, Less Owner That is correct. This is the trend.
