What is your Time Worth?

In the commercial real estate, they have a principle called "Highest and Best Use". Basically, the question the investors like to ask is this:

"What's the highest and best use of a specific piece of property?"

In other words, what can they build on the property to create the maximum value and fetch the highest price?

For instance, you wouldn't put a single family home on the downtown Las Vegas Strip when you could just as easily build a casino or hotel there, would you?

Of course not.

So when it comes to making money, what is the highest and best use of your own time? What can you invest your time, energy, and brain power into that would create the maximum amount of money for you and your family?

I'm not looking for "pie in the sky" ideas here.

I am asking you, realistically speaking, given the opportunities you have before you, where can you spend your time to yield the largest amount of money in your bank account short as well as long-term?

To be sure, you could open a business. But that implies lots of risk, capital and time (and there would be no certainty of your success.)

Sure, you could go back to school and become a high paid professional such as a doctor or lawyer. But even without considering the tuition, the time commitment would be daunting to say the least...

And sure, you could invest in real estate or the stock market -- but you'd have to have the capital and know-how (and be able to can handle the inevitable downturns.)

So yes, you have options, but I think I may have an even better option for you, one that has solid benefits with none of the disadvantages above.

You can become a professional Commercial Real Estate Property Scout--a person who helps our investor group find and prescreen commercial property nationwide for our investor group to acquire.

Here's the key question to ask yourself:

Where else could you realistically make six and seven-figures a year working less than 20 hours a week from home with no risk, none of your own capital and no experience?

Assuming you appreciate the idea of highest and best use, and you want to make the most of your time, you owe it to yourself to check out the opportunity.

Because when you do the math, I think you'll be astonished at the real value of your time.
