[quote=Jumby]Yep, I was waiting here, with everything on hold until I heard YOUR take on real estate investing….
Thanks for admitting (more or less) that you don’t believe in it (at least residential).[/quote]
Jumby: Okay, I showed you mine; you show me yours.
Give me some support as to why you consider residential RE an investment. Show some history (I’d personally use Robert Shiller’s research on home prices going back to the late 1800s to support my assertion) that proves residential RE can outperform, say, a tax-deferred or tax-neutral instrument or vehicle (to compensate for the tax benefit/write off inherent to a residential home purchase) over a multi-year (no less than five years) period.
You talk about the hundreds of deals passing your desk regularly and the investment sites you own, let’s see your math.
Its easy enough to gainsay someone and argue that I’m a non-believer, but its harder to disprove my contentions.
Or, as with Socrattt, are you simply going to aver and strike your colors? I notice Clearfund has clearly found something else to do. Crickets from him on this one. Another so-called “expert” goes to ground.
