America and its Veterans Need You Now!!!!



I don't believe anyone needs to be told there is an economic "problem" in America right now. Daily the news media adds more and more stories of downturns, economic unstability, foreclosures, falling stocks and rising unemployment. We can all feel sorry for ourselves and sit in a dark corner and cry - or we can become the Americans our forefathers wanted us to be when this great country was born!

One group that requires our attention is our returning military veterans. Many return to foreclosed homes, economic problems, lack of care for the disabled and no jobs. Invest in America's Veterans Foundation wants your support to make these problems disappear. The first solution needs to start with housing. SW Florida, for instance, has one of the highest foreclosure rates in America. Low prices, great mortgage programs for veterans and a large inventory of abandoned homes makes this the place and time to buy these homes. With assistance from investors, we can get these abandoned homes at great prices and allow veterans to have a lease-to-own contract if they cannot buy today.

The ripple effect? Abandoned homes have families living in them. Mortgages and lease agreements are written. Contractors need to hire painters, electricians, carpenters, etc. (which can also be returning veterans) to work on these homes to make repairs. Building supplies stores sales go up from contractors and home owner handymen. More people in homes, vandalism declines. Get the picture?!? - We helped re-build an American neighborhood!
