Real estate was the best investment. I remember the mantra “there is only so much and they can’t make more” it all fell apart. I bought a house in Ohio for $142K that had been for sale a few years earlier for $365K.
I’m looking to move down state Michigan now and it is crazy now. Lucky I’m in no hurry. With interest rates going up, I see prices starting to come down.
