Otherwise we all would be billionaires.

Seems like who can boast the most about their Midwest location...LOL6 professional sports teams, regional health care center in a 4 state area, federal reserve is up in KC, more shore line on lakes than the Pacific coast in Cali, oh, and I live in the area, LOLHere's an odd stat, most who moved out of MO a few years ago moved to Cali and then, most who moved out of CA moved to MO, guess they decided to come back.....actually not, more moved out of CA and came to MO.Center of the US population is about 50 miles east of me.To housing, it's pretty affordable, tons of 3/2s 90 to 120K, but you can certainly go up, one of (or the) largest home owner occupied is about 10 miles south of me, some tech billionaire building a rock castle.Look for a diversified economy, health, education, manufacturing, tech, financial services and retail to drive your economy, pretty well in that order and growing here.I also think we'll see much smaller less expensive homes built in the future especially in more rural areas, post WWII tract houses, 1,000 - 1,200 sq ft.

I hope he is an billionaire already.:-)

It's kind of like my friend in Brazil this year who asked me if she could make money with Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin?

Btw, go take a look at list of richest real estate investors on the Forbes billionaire list, and see how many of them have college/MBA degrees...you might be surprised...

@Jeff Johnson , I also have a small, speculative portion of my investment portfolio - right now, it is all tied up in bitcoins, litecoins, peercoins, terracoins, and feathercoins (cryptocurrencies).

I knew of a bank like that once, Merchants National Bank in Sacramento, I bet they are doing well too.Will, the richest guy I ever met, billionaire and that is not an exaggeration, told me in 2005 that when the mother of all booms was over, there will be several major drops.

I read where all these people are billionaires starting with nothing.

Please don't shy away from this great opportunity to turn me into a newbie investor into a billionaire - teacher of real estate!

@Jay Hinrichs $2 mil investment in ghetto or wine would look fantastic compared to buying Bitcoins at peak of market in Nov 2013..I have financials to prove..lol
