A merging of passions has culminated in the development of a new division of West of the Five Real Estate Services, a division that is aptly named Rising Tide Investments. The name comes from the saying “A rising tide lifts all ships”, but it is more than boats that he is lifting. His is lifting spirits with an easy to understand investment plan that makes retirement a reachable reality in the not-so-distant future!

Travis is passionate about his family and friends, loves research and, as most of you already know is a pro in his chosen field of Real Estate. Out of concern for close family members with little or no exit strategy in their current professions, Travis began combining resources to create Rising Tide as a way of offering a simple plan for retirement with ample funds to live in comfort and style.

The process is easy to understand and simple to start. As of December 15th he is offering consultations with this West of the Five community to share the process in detail. I cannot do it justice here in this brief piece, but I will do my best to give you the simple overview.

One basic concept is to purchase 20 homes or more nationally over the span of time between now and the time you choose to retire. At the time of retirement sell half the properties to pay off the other half thereby having a stream of income from the remaining investment properties plus a cash bonus from the equity if you don’t mind paying taxes on the gains. If you have an aversion to paying taxes on the gains Travis and the Rising Tide team of professionals will be happy to show you how to balance things in your favor by keeping more properties, thereby having more monthly income.

Now that you have the basics you might be wondering how the heck you are supposed to handle twenty mortgages and the overage that the rents would not cover if the properties were purchased here in San Diego. I certainly was curious, not to mention a little intimidated. I’ll admit that normally I would think that a worn out library card and intricate knowledge of how to acquire and make sense of statistical data would be qualities I’d associate with a complete nerd. Nerdy turned sexy real quick when the information Travis shared with me offered a way to have minimal cash outlay now to get $15,000 a month conservatively once I acquire 20 properties over the course of a decade or so.

It took my brain a while to get the concept of nice, new homes in great areas all across the country costing from $175,000 to $225,000. Having been raised in Hawaii and in San Diego, that was simply a foreign concept for me. Once I understood the formulas for cost versus expenditures and the compounded growth from equity in the properties it was clear and easy. We made our first purchase the day after Thanksgiving and we are due to sign another before Christmas! That means we have two down, eighteen to go. Don’t leave us on the beaches of the world alone! Call and get the scoop on Rising Tide Investments from Travis directly or make it a party and host a dinner to listen to the concept with your loved ones.
