Your answer leaves me somewhat unsatisified. You are a public persona in real estate blogging, but your own real estate history is a private matter? What is a “nice profit” and a “very profitable investment”? Percent returns do not violate your privacy at all, only dollar amounts would do so. Is 1% or 3% a year a nice profit? It’s tax free, so it well could be.
Whether your returns were 3% per year or more, doesn’t really change my respect for your work. piggington.com is the best housing bubble blog out there. Hopefully mine will be as good as yours.
I and others have been quite candid about our own investments, but you have chosen to keep yours all private. We should have asked you long ago about your own real estate investing. I was too afraid of insulting you, and didn’t know how you would handle this. Maybe others, like sdcellar, were afraid they’d be booted off the forums, LOL?
