Rent
Owned 3 homes, last one for 14 years paid it off early, sold it for 1.1 million than I paid for it.
Sold in 2003, before market top, as Joe Kennedy used to say..”Only a fool holds out for top dollar” !
I Rent another home in my same area for a bit more than my old mortgage was. Retired from the big pay profession early, living comfortable. I Dont remember what stress feels like. I Like that.
Would not buy in my old neighborhood, might move ….Rancho Santa Fe ? Maybe…Maybe not. Hawaii looks good too.
Will probably be dead before real estate becomes a viable investment again, Iam expecting 25 plus years for the washout to be complete.
Iam out of the game and staying out, unlike most of the winners in “Vegas” MY money is leaving with me. Historically, these things only come around maybe once in a whole lifetime. I scored, I certainly didnt expect it 30 years ago, but I was hoping for it….A strange life indeed.
I just kept my eyes open and had the balls to be a contrarian not a “sheeple”
I want to run out of Viagra, money, surfwax and heartbeats at the same time. My timing has been pretty good so far.
I Attribute my successes to Planning, keeping my eye on the ball and filtering out the noise and some much needed luck.
One must be aware of opportunity when it presents itself, and be well versed enough to know what an opportunity really is.
