without reading all the responses above, 2009 was a good time to buy
buy now and see if it gives you that kind of return in 10 years.

I think I was called a liar/ foolish last night in a thread. I'd like to reply.

I wonder how that compares to how Gates, Buffet, Job, et. al. have done.

Great job. I also did extremely well on flips and much higher than 20% return!

We have a 401k and that gives me more stress than investing in real estate.

I like your diversification but would add one other area.

I think the biggest misconception about RE is that it takes tons of money to get into. My first inv. purchase was $45K

No tax on your primary residence sale.

Exactly. That’s why I wanted to sell now at no tax and move to a house I had bought at 2011 prices

To me it's mostly about market movement combined with leverage. The difference for me in getting into RE 7-10 years ago

I also think that maybe mormons are more averse to leveraged positions? I remember taking ACC200 from Norm Nemrow

Use some of that profit to upgrade your CB membership.

I would upgrade if I could but specific reasons prohibit it...

I like real estate as an investment, but most 1st time investors aren't prepared

I think real estate needs to be apart of an investment portfolio. I am a big proponent for real estate.

I don't believe I ever said people should expect that return. I stated that it

One more thing. Remember, I used a simple example with your 6.1% annual ROI.

The 6.1% return wasn't "my" figure, it was the historical figure. And I'm sorry,
