Not talking myself out of doing anything. You have a one track mind, the entire world doesn’t revolve around investing in real estate. My investments in precious metals are on fire. My baseball cards are up big too. But they will definitely crash hard soon. Don’t care, not giving up my vintage cards.[/quote]
Who said anything about RE, Im talking about everything. Ive got “liquid” assets that are up 20X in 5 years too. Good luck selling those cards, the posted prices are very different than what they sell for and unless graded 9 or above you most likely have nice things to look at. Ive got my share as well. But getting back to RE it is the most important hedge one can have in life. No matter what happens costs are fixed, tax treatment is favorable and ya gotta live somewhere. I would counter that anyone w/o at least an 8 figure net worth has not planned well if they arent hedged with RE. It clears the way to focus on everything else with minimal worry
