Interest rates on typical investments have been at an all-time low for the last 12 years, and many people have their retirement funds in cash.

Lance reveals where he puts his money.   02:40 Cash is King! Randy explains why.   04:18 For the last 12 years, CDs have only been providing about a 0% interest rate.

(hint: treasurydirect.gov)   15:56 While rates are higher now than they’ve been for CDs, are there disadvantages to investing in CDs?   17:25 Lance explains self-directed IRAs and elaborates on the pros and cons.   20:06 Randy expands on the benefits of self-directed IRAs.   24:22 Randy asks Lance if we are in a buyer’s or seller’s real estate market and segues to the next episode.   Resources:   ·         Go to www.LanceEdwards.com to learn more about Lance and his investments. ·         Sign up for Randy’s newsletter at www.LifetimeParadigm.com and learn about Randy’s services. ·         If you want to learn how to earn a high return on real estate investments, go to www.FreeApartmentsBook.com to receive a FREE copy of Lance’s best-selling book, How to Make Big Money in Small Apartments.
