Other capital is in riskier investments for long term growth (stocks, Bitcoin, etc).

A guy was wanting advice, he was graduating from college, going to get a job and buy a used Lamborgini, then after it was paid for start buying real estate.......I consider that in the same line of thinking of "if you give me the promotion I will start working harder"I know one very well known Billionaire very well, at the time we were working together (ok he was chairman of the board and I was a director), he worked 18-19 hours a day.

It is nice though to find out from a real estate billionaire that I made the right call.

Why  well Dad is Japanese was a Billionaire got hammered int the Japanese melt down of mid 90s' and instructed the family and family trust that if you pay cash U can't lose your properties.. so thats what they have done all these years.. and you really can't argue with that if you have the cash and don't care about leverage.. thats the long term safe play.  

If you've heard of or kept track of Bitcoin (Or other cryptocurrencies) lately, you know what I am talking about.

The truth is both real estate and the stock market have created billionaires and both have also financially destroyed people.

Billionaire Mark Cuban, said that time is his most important commodity.3.

I am far more concerned with finding my next deal, than if some billionaire thinks in the next 2 years something bad is going to happen.     

I know 2 billionaires and another friend is worth about half a billion,,,none of them have a car worth anything close to a lambo,,in fact the friend that is worth about $5oo Million drives about a 12 year old Infinity most of the time,,of course his other method of transportation is his turbo prop

Bitcoin, gold, oil & gas, the stock market...However they are ALL far more risky than apartments in my opinion.
