Why Real Estate?

[Jonathan Twombly]

Why invest in real estate?

After all, there are lots of things to invest in -- stocks, bonds, precious metals, collectibles.  What makes real estate so attractive to you?  Is it because it's tangible -- you can ride by and look at your investment?  Is it because that's what you heard rich people invest in?  Because it's "passive"?

If you're already a successful real estate investor, why did you come this route?

If you're hoping to enter this field, why?  Why not all the other ways you could make money or invest your extra savings?
