SCM has been involved in investments for more than 30 years, advising corporate executives and other clients in many important capacities. As a V.P. and representative of Prudential Securities in Newport Beach, the founder of SCM voted the stock of Prudential customers at all annual stockholders meetings in Orange County. He also consulted with these and smaller companies on their desire to raise additional capital, enhance stockholder relations, gain greater returns from their pension and/or profit- sharing plans, and improve the rate of return (ROI) for hundreds of key employees.

SCM continues to offer its expertise to today’s investor. Based on its extensive, wide-ranging experience in the field, SCM has been able to draw important conclusions about which investment has best served the needs of the investment community. The one that consistently returns the highest yield every year is investment real estate. The reason why 80% of the wealth of America’s investors is represented in real estate is obvious. Real estate is the ideal inflation hedge and, because of leverage, has returned from 50% to 150% ROI for the past five years. For Investment Real Estate go to Tenpercentdown.com

Salient Advice for Savvy Investors:

Because of the substantial yields available from real estate investments, SCM has been making luncheon and keynote presentations to business and civic groups in 2006. One of the critical emphases of these presentations is that investment real estate should be purchased only from licensed Realtors® who have years of investment experience and actually own real estate themselves. In other words: Don’t trust investment decisions to amateurs! Why is this advice so important? Because in America, 1 in 25 people have a real estate license, and the average agent doesn’t sell more than one property a year.

An investor’s ROI will be determined by the selection process, the financing process, the management process and the selling process. SCM is involved in all phases of the process, including managing the client’s property and producing an annual report on each property that’s invaluable for preparing federal and state tax returns.

Overall, there’s no question that broad experience and hands-on expertise are primary keys to long-term success in real estate investment. SCM clearly offers both—inspiring confidence and maximizing opportunities for its clientele.
