Here's what our satisfied buyers say about ACE:
Last August 2003, I purchased a 1.25-acre parcel of pre-developed land. The purchase price was $23,125. During early May 2004, I received an offer to purchase the land for $46,000.
I believe this significant increase in just 10 months is a strong indicator of the future value appreciation. For this reason, I chose not to sell the land, but rather to leave it as a part of my retirement assets - which was the reason I purchased the land.
Thank you for assisting me in my planning for retirement. - Sandra Fraasch
The first property was bought in July 2001 for $21,000 per acre and sold at $45,000 per acre in 2004. The second property bought around the same time for $21,000 per acre and sold at $45,000 per acre in 2004. Same situation, same good result. So far, the return on investment has been very good. - Hemant Mehta
I had no experience with land purchasing before I was introduced to ACE. Not only did ACE prepare very good material and market analysis for investors, but also with sufficient land resources for different levels of investors. I recently bought a piece of land through ACE. ACE staff and also its president worked together as a team to solve some unexpected issues due to the previous land owner until the purchase was closed. ACE has kept its promise to its customers!
Although the purchase was delayed for a bit for unforeseeable reasons, the land value had increased more than 50 percent at the closing date. I have built trust in ACE and would like to thank all ACE staff for their tireless and professional jobs well done! - Kevin Gu
I just wanted to write to comment on how pleased I am with the purchase of property I closed in 2005. The price I paid was $1,000 per acre and in just over a year my property has increased in value from $2,700 to over $7,000 based on recent sales in the area. I purchased an additional piece of property a few months ago and anticipated it will do well in appreciation! Thanks ACE! - Candice Larsen
I am very impressed with your company's land banking business and I feel this is very high growth and yet low risk investment. Purchasing land from you is a wonderful experience. Your overall knowledge and advice on the parcel I purchased really convinced me that I made the right investment. I really appreciate your service and will recommend your service to all of my friends who wish to invest their money wisely. Please inform me of any good deals coming up as I wish to purchase more parcels in the near future. Furthermore, your newsletter and all the update information are very informative and I really appreciate your continuous efforts in educating us about land banking and making the right investment. - Jenny Zhou
Dear Ace! The comparable you have found in the area surrounding the properties I recently purchased through you indicate a value significantly greater than I paid last year. I am very pleased with this indication of rapid appreciation.
I also gratefully acknowledge the thoroughness of the services you provided in finding properties that met my investment criteria. The rapid movement of the market provided challenges in that several of the properties I indicated interest in were sold before we could secure them. You stayed with the effort until we secured the appropriate properties; I am very grateful and I strongly recommend your service. - Richard Stancliff
In March of 2001, I purchased pre-developed land from Ace Capital Group with my IRA assets. I paid approximately $16,000, and in April of 2004 we were offered $45,000 for our share of the property. I accepted the offer even though I had made the original purchase in my IRA for longer term appreciation.
When I told my co-workers that I just made almost three times my investment in 3 years, they wanted to know how. All of them had lost a considerable amount in the stock market during the same period. When I told them I made it in land, they were surprised that they could purchase land using their IRA money. I told them all to contact Ace. - Bei Qin, ACE Director of Sales
Dear Ace Capital Group! Yes, with your encouragement, we were lucky to catch the Land Bank Train and are happily seeing the appreciation of our purchased property. Definitely, we keep watching and should there be a good opportunity, please let us know. We really appreciate your tremendous efforts and great patience in helping us find a gem in the land market. Thanks! - Karl and Yiling
I had heard about rolling your IRAs into a self-directed account to buy real estate two years ago. But I couldn't find anything that I could afford until Ace Capital Group came along. I was able to buy two properties, and am happy that my investments aren't continuing to loose money if I had left it in the traditional IRA accounts. - Helen Wong
Recently I changed employers within my current industry, the Airlines. It was bad enough my former employer had lost money in the stock market with my 401(K) retirement plan. Then, they really compounded the bad news by liquidating my assets rather than giving me a rollover option to retain my tax benefits. I was devastated. Then I found out about Ace Group's real estate for retirement from a former co-worker's husband, Bouvier Beale, who had bought Ace property for retirement, and is now an agent with Ace.
Bouvier explained that I could invest for retirement; just using the liquid assets I had leftover, even though partly diminished by my thoughtless former bosses! He further pointed out that now that I had a deed to real estate in the path of planned growth near a major population center in the largest and fastest growing state in the union, all I had to do was sit back, relax and watch my assets grow slowly, but predictably and steadily, unlike the volatile stock market.
Thank you, Bouvier and Ace! - Stephen Baccari
