That really takes you into to the top 1% of Americans, and possibly into the top 1/10 of the global top 1%.

It will continue to go up and then flatten, who knows maybe a 5% correction if a change for foreign investors or global economic markets occur but then it will go up again and again.

Hi All - With all the extreme weather lately, I got to thinking about the possible implications of global climate change on real estate investing - for buy and hold investors.

Very few who are investing now had to worry about a global nuclear war that might erase all life on earth. 

The global value of real estate is around $300 trillion!

But the economy is global. 

Certainly a Chinese recession will have global impact.

While we should all be striving for good quality deals, what is good quality to one, is not the same for another, so as long as you are happy and getting positive cash flow, month after month, with little to no headaches, then your strategy is no better or worse than mine, just different.I am a little concerned, however, that you are putting a little too much emphasis on measurements that are really more appropriate for commercial deals (including multifamily). 

As for Rich Dad companies... you can try to figure out their convoluted ownership schemes in this SEC document (exhibit B): http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1095276/000101968710002457/tigrent_sc13d-062810.htm And after that, it appears Rich Global, LLC filed BK in Wyoming bankruptcy court: http://business-bankruptcies.com/cases/rich-global-llc with creditors that include Arizona Department of Revenue and the IRS.

Also, it would require a localized/granular attribute, though perhaps if a more global system was developed, members could check localities based perhaps on a prospective tenant's past residence(s) listing.
