[quote=deadzone]Gold was under $1000 in 2009. And it was a good investment. In hindsight sure RE would have been better investment. But hindsight is 20/20. And frankly I am not and never was interested in being a landlord so it is a moot point and under no circumstances would I have been interested in living in a suburban NC housing tract.
Anyway, the point now is to address the current situation and possible bubble popping. My personal investment decisions 10+ years ago are completely irrelevant to the current situation. Not sure why you insist on bringing that up other than to deflect from your fear of the prospect of a market crash? I really don’t understand why the idea of it bothers you so much.[/quote]
It doesn’t bother me at all. Why you might ask? Well the Answer is those personal investment decisions made 10-20 years ago that you think are irrelevant and I know are life altering. And you could’ve bought anything anywhere. I only use NC tract houses because that’s where I live. Had you bought anything anywhere here you would’ve capitalized on the opportunity of a lifetime
