Real Estate as an Investment

Sometimes the media is just not your friend. I'm serious. Think about it, if the story is not sensational it won't make the news. When was the last time you read or saw a story along the lines of, "Family Lives Well, Works Hard, Behaves Ethically and Lives Happily Ever After"? The phrase "If it bleeds it leads" was coined for that very reason. Even sadder though is that all of this reporting of news is ultimately to sell the advertising associated with the media outlet.

Enough on that, the real purpose of the post is to tell all those naysayers out there that spewing forth comments like, "real estate is a crummy investment" that I disagree. Not only do I disagree emotionally, but I disagree factually. Check out the following chart.

Pretty sobering don't you think?
