About BawldGuy

I'm second generation real estate, first licensed in fall of 1969. Having been mentored by several iconic brokers, I'm also CCIM trained, having completed all 200 hours back in 1980. Have successfully executed well over 200 tax deferred exchanges, many of which have been multi-state in nature. Strong points are analysis and the creation and real world application of Purposeful Plans employing several strategies synergistically. The idea is to arrive at retirement with the most after tax income possible, backed by the largest net worth.

    I didn’t realize real estate had done so well even given the ongoing correction. Seems like gold (up over 500% in the same period) and RE should be the base of one’s investment pyramid (no FED pun intended).

    Know I’m preachin’ to the choir here, but it’s about long term, which this illustrates on so many levels, Sean.

    Think I’m gonna refer to this chart in a post this week. There are many things that need to be pointed out that aren’t so obvious.

    I don’t know if historical returns are a great predictor of future results.

    If those returns maintained, a house in the crappiest part of KC would be a million dollar dump, and the DJIA would be at 2,000 in 15 years.

    Don’t you think that in the medium to long term, returns converge? During periods of time (a decade in your example), returns in one asset class can significantly out perform. And smart buying can always outperform dumb buying.

      Hey Chris — Opinions vary, but in my lifetime, real estate has dominated. The fact that most folks who’re living the best retirements have done it through real estate hasn’t changed since the end of WW II. If you’re comfortable makin’ stocks ‘n bonds your vehicle, it’s your money. Good luck though, cuz you’ll need it. Not so when real estate investing is coupled with OldSchool strategies.

      Have a good one.
