What are the best investment options for now on this date or say for the year 2013? The answer to this question would be divided into three segments. Therefore according to me the three best investment options this New Year is:

2. Land – land is a good choice of investment but it is a tough one to invest. Not all the people can buy a piece of land which can worth around some thousand dollars and wait for it to double. But for those who have plenty of resources and want to increase your wealth in a co-inordinate manner land will be the best one to try. Besides you can build anything on land to make it more valuable.
3. House – investing in land and investing in house are both very different. Investing in house means you buy a house with all its amenities including land on which it is built up and investing in land is investing in a piece of earth only. House can be used for living and not land. Well from economic point of view and house is much more valuable than a plain piece of land. You can rent a house to gain income during the period of investment and then when you reach your goal of investment you can sell it off. So house can gain you double profits while it is much more difficult to give land on rent as compared to house.
These were my views on the basis of past data analyzed. This doesn't mean that all other investments are not good and these are the best. I am just providing additional information supporting the advice from your professional.
