I have more faith in my ability to find a good deal that cash flows and my ability to manage it than I do putting my money in someone else’s hands to do as they please and cross my fingers. I also feel like a home goes up and down, but never to $0 like a stock or other investments can.
I also recall growing up that my grandparents never worked and lived off the cash flow from their various properties in So Cal. All they did was travel around in a motor home going camping and stuff while my parents were off to work. Sure there’s the age aspect, but my mom still works 5 days a week and she is now a grandma and wishing she had a plan a long time ago.
