What do Colonel Sanders, Babe Ruth, Howard Hughes, Gene Autry, Joe Kennedy, Sheldon Solow, H. Ross Perot, Hewlett and Packard, and Charles Darrow have in common? They all made fortunes and prospered during the Great Depression. They knew that economic downturns create once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for financial success. During the Depression years, demand was low and prices were low as a result. Visionary business people knew that real estate values would go up in the future and when they did they used the equity to leverage their business growth and expansions. Those wise folk that were not caught up in the stock market frenzy in the 1920s, and saved their cash, were well positioned to snap up bargain properties or businesses and became millionaires as a result.*

"Foreclosure by the banks has been the order of the day. Day after day real estate can be bought for the price of the first mortgage and there are no bidders except the bank which holds the first mortgage. In this way the banks are becoming the holders of huge quantities of real estate.” ** This sounds all too familiar, but was written about economic conditions in 1929 and the years following.

Well, we’ve all had enough doom and gloom about the economy. The truth is we may never see such an ideal time to invest in real estate again. Everyone has a different opinion about the actual value of real estate; appraisals are guess work, so investors are going on their instincts. This savvy investing is paying off hugely as buyers are able to copy the model of the Great Depression millionaires in which great properties became available at rock bottom prices and those with access to funding ruled the day. Today, similar conditions exist and the best negotiators at UGE are available to advise, consult and complete acquisitions; additionally, alternative financing vehicles are available at historically low rates. Take if from Joe Kennedy, Nelson Rockefeller and J. Paul Getty, this is the time to move on property acquisition!

Financing at 2-2 ½% Creates a Powerful New Tool for Luxury Investors

It used to be that ‘Cash is King’ but investors know it is wiser not to use your own money. An opportunity exists now that is even better: access to a remarkably low interest line of credit using investor’s own collateral.

The Luxury Ambassadors of Unique Global Estates have access to The Investor Group and its funding opportunities utilizing Alternative Collateral Market-Based Lines of Credit at 2-2 ½% rate of interest to purchase real estate. Once a client is introduced to The Investor Group, various vehicles, other than the subject real estate (such as a stock portfolio), are examined to provide the alternative collateral. By pledging all or a portion of the portfolio, the consumer has access to funds to acquire properties without liquidation.

For both residential and commercial real estate purchases, a line of credit can be available for down payments, refinancing, full amount of purchase price, and/or the delta between lender approval and purchase price. There is a minimum of $250,000 with an almost unlimited ceiling.  

Private mortgage bankers have used alternative collateral for years but at much, much higher interest rates (averaging 5-6% currently).  Unfortunately in this market, lending institutions are still unwilling to fund, especially in the jumbo loan arena, and all-cash offers have become the norm. This Market-Based Line of Credit does not require that investors sell stock, provide appraisals or incur capital gains. Lower interest rates, less heartburn. UGE’s Luxury Ambassadors are completely knowledgeable about their local markets and, through providing access to this funding alternative, they are completing these sales quietly. They know who wants ‘out’ and who wants to purchase – with all-cash sales or alternative collateral tools. We’re finding that access to this financing alternative is generating enormous interest among investors. Information is available at LuxuryAmbassadors@UniqueGlobalEstates.com.

Jo Ann Davis, Luxury Ambassador Spokesperson for Sacramento, California, states, "I have introduced four of my clients to The Investor Group within the past two weeks. They will each consolidate their current property loan liabilities, in the neighborhood of $20 million, from 6-61/2 % interest rate to the newly available 2-2/1/2 % Line of Credit, thereby eliminating the loans against each individual property. Utilizing alternative collateral enables them more flexibility to manage and ride out the bottleneck in the banking/financing arena.”
