The Accidental Investor
Dr. Dolf de Roos, Real Estate Investor – Property Prosperity

The Unintentional Investor is described as the homeowner who through no intentional action awoke to significant equity build up in their homes and any other real estate holdings.

What to do next is the question facing The Unintentional Investor. Despite a better equities market in 2006, the Dot Com era is still a recent memory. Real estate investing has proven stable, predictable and secure for millions. Harnessing this fact and the commercial opportunities associated with this are the next big investment services idea.

Wall St. will no longer sit on the sideline and see capital and fees lost to an apparently competitive market.

The lessons learned by the individual real estate investor/adventurer are going main stream as the average homeowner takes advantage of the services and providers that have arisen to serve this early market.

The Unintentional Investor and a balanced portfolio demand a holistic treatment of the entire asset base. Not just investable assets or real estate, but both as components of a complete portfolio.

The volume of transaction by this class of investor has already surpassed the individual real estate investor-adventurer in investment, success and maturation. Products, providers and investment services are springing up to serve this market.

From this session you will learn how you can take advantage of this once in a lifetime phenomenon of the awakened Unintentional Investor.
