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 investing in 2008? Haven't you got to be kidding I hear you ask? Real estate investing in 2008 is dead. Prices are crumbling and real estate can't be given away. There's Florida McMansions on eBay for starting bids of $1.

Don't let that put you off, real estate investing in 2008 is alive and well, if you do it right. Note I said that have to do it right. If you don't then you can get burned.

Can you do it right on your own? Yes, if you're really good at it. However there's a far better way to do it through a publicly traded US company run by one of Americas most respected businessmen, investing in socially conscious real estate.

Socially conscious real estate investing? What's that?

I'd like to show you one of the best ethical real estate investments that you can own in these hard times.

It's ethical real estate investing that offers benefits to other people as well as the investor, specifically the people who live in the investment properties and the community.

Let me explain further. One of the best real estate investment opportunities is investing in average homes for average Americans in who live in average suburbs in those cities that go together to make up our country. Homes with values of $100,000 or less, that millions of people live in right now. Homes that are STILL in demand even in the middle of the credit crunch, because - people still need to live in them.

Imagine a company that selects the most promising suburbs for investments, buys large numbers of homes in those suburbs from government our councils at well below market, invests in those suburbs by building social resources like parks and playgrounds and other improvements to improve the overall living standards of those who live there, and refurbishes the houses they buy to a high standard.

All this increases the attractiveness of the suburb to live in, and at the same time increases the value of the homes in those suburbs.

They then sell those homes to investors at well below market value, organize the loan, provide the tenant, guarantee the repayments of 2 years, and the investors profit.

And the local community profits big time too, because of the renaissance created by the newly refurbished homes and community facilities, so everyone wants to live there.

It's socially conscious real estate investing on steroids. The investor profits, the local residents benefit, and the tenants of the properties benefit.

It's real and it's available right now for ordinary investors, or IRA or 401k investors, from a respected US public company.
