Ethical investing is a bit of a buzz word. Get ethical and make money. However when you look behind the buzz there are powerful reasons why you should consider ethical real estate investing in 2008 as one of the best investments you can own. Because ethical real estate investing is still investing, and you need to make a good profit. Ethical investing should be high profit investing so that everyone, including the investor, wins.

Real estate is dead as an investment in 2008 isn't it? Real estate markets are plunging, prices plummeting, people losing their homes, foreclosures and bankruptcies are up and the credit crunch is upon us, so we can't get a loan.

Time to forget real estate investing and move into something else.

Or is it? Lets have a look.

Real estate investing is really a simple business.

Real estate investing is tough at the best of times. What about the worst of times. Is it possible to invest profitably in real estate when the market is like it is right now?

The real estate market is in meltdown right now. House prices are plummeting, foreclosures through the roof, people living in their cars and houses selling for $1. I've been watching a lovely 4 bedroom home in Florida that is listed on eBay right now for a starting bid of $1.

Safe investing is a hot topic in 2008. With markets in meltdown and recession upon us everyone is looking for safety rather than profits and returns. Are we doomed to poor returns in the recession just to improve the safety for our money?

There's lots of places to invest our money of course, traditionally with various levels of safety. The stock market, real estate, bonds, CDs, currencies and so on.

Self directed IRA rollovers. Are your eyes glazing over already? Too hard and don't want to know? If you're setting up a self directed IRA you will probably need to know what a self directed IRA rollover is, and now is a good time to start.

And don't worry, it's not as hard as you may think.

Simply speaking, a self directed IRA rollover is a transfer of assets from a tax deferred retirement program directing those assets into your own personally managed IRA, or Individual Retirement Account.
