Wealthy people know where to put their money.


Real estate.

According to a Nu Wire Investor article that's the plan for those with more than $800,000 to invest.

"The prospect of strong returns in bargain real estate is driving interest, especially among the wealthiest, who are predicted to boost allocations in property to 30 percent — with portfolios of over 50 percent property holdings not uncommon. While the majority of investors see the expense of financing as a deterrent, property's perceived potential is edging out stocks and bonds. Among locations, the US residential real estate market is a top pick for investment. See the following article from Property Wire for more on this."

It's not surprising as many are really worried about were to put their money. Especially after have about 10 years of saving disappear over the last few years. One thing about real estate is it's tangible, insured and worst comes to worst you can live in it.

"Investors from Canada and the Gulf region were the most likely to increase their property allocations, with an average increase of 4% being put into real estate."
