When did investing in real estate get so popular

Now that I'm a member here and doing my research I see how many people are involved in real estate investing. I know this has been a popular strategy for many for a long time but I'm wondering if this has exploded into a bigger market for new investors the last several years?

Plus, everyone sees the world through the lens of their current focus. You are now looking into real estate investing, so you see evidence of it everywhere. Try thinking about buying a particular model of car, and see how many of those suddenly seem to be on the road when you're driving!

There will always be other investors, but don't feel like it's a big race or competition. There are plenty of deals for all. Research, set a plan, stick to it!
