Which Side of the Quadrant Do You Investing In?

If you like visual metaphors as a tool for effective real estate investing, then you would be delighted to discover the 'Reallionaire Quadrant'. Also referred to as the 'Portfolio Building Model', the quadrant is a useful and effective tool in helping investors determine which property assets they should buy and when. It also provide investors with an insight as to what type of acquisition vehicle to used, which method of finance one should tap into and which asset protection and exit strategy should be employed. It is also a yard stick for maximising quadruple returns.

To understand the model, you need to understand how property asset cycles work. Every property asset has a life cycle (regardless of whether the economy is in a booming or burst situation). A property asset life cycle begins in it infancy, subsequently grows into maturity and then dies.

The reallionaire quadrant purports that if you buy property assets when they are in their infancy stage (Quartile 1), your chances of accumulating millions in cash and equity from real estate investing is far higher than if you were to buy them when they are in their dying stages (Quartile 4). See diagram below.
