I just successfully closed sale on Friday for my home in Maryland.

The plan had been to then turn around and buy a home in Florida this fall, to rent out for a few years and then move into.

My buddy who made a ton of money in real estate development (after getting a Masters in RE from Georgetown) told me last week that this is a horrible idea, that it is much more lucrative to just invest the proceeds into the equity markets

also that as I like to move around the world, it makes more sense to just rent. (I disagree in a world of high inflation for rent)

aside from buying REITS in your brokerage- what are the intelligent methods to invest in real estate looking at the current and 5-10 year future market.

TIA

What did the RE guy give as an explanation? To risky right now if he sees a pricing adjustment?

How else would Barnes let us all know of his intricately planned fake life? These scenarios are completely made up

I gotta boy who listens to a lot of C&W music, and he tells me to buy dirt.

Real tears. Local dullard LMcane was known for asking these same idiotic questions about real estate on the Canes board for probably a decade or so. He'll be on his death bed, still having not bought anything, asking random college internet forums whether or not it's worth it to have screens on your windows.
