FLU made the most insightful statement. I have tried to expand on his point in many posts. Home ownership is not as much about investment as a lifestyle. Many on this site vehemently disagree with that sort of statement and I respect AND understand that stance.

Come on now, you are probably quite successful financially and whether you made your money through real estate or through other means, to make a statement such as the one you made above really was…. well it was kind of a laugher dude.
