In addition to numerous tradition RE related investments (most individually owned but some as LP), here are our unusual investments (both are RE related, but not what is common on this site)- I have mentioned this one a few times on BP, when fracking was just starting to be known to the general public (near turn of century), we purchased mineral rights in North Dakota.  

@Mark Cotter I am a firm believer that San Diego is one of the best markets to invest and even though the data would confirm what I am saying for the past half century or so, I still recognize I am biased as I am a local investor with single family and multifamily properties locally and of course am in brokerage also.  

The city is one that’s consistently listed as a top 10 2024 real estate market, the projected cash flow is intriguing ($50,000 - 25% down payment, estimated $7500 annual cash flow), both units are leased until October and December (as a potential new landlord this gives me some security), but I feel hesitant with offering on a century old property.

Purchase price: $200,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Owner-financed purchase of home on 12 acres outside of Eugene, OR with long-abandoned 3 bed, 2 bath century farmhouse.

This lack of housing has major implications for immigration policies and the nation's ability to welcome more people (even if they are skilled workers) as it has in centuries past.Throughout history, the United States has been a beacon of hope for millions seeking a better life.

While I'm relatively new to REI, I bring with me a quarter century of lessons learned in running high-performing teams, managing projects, and getting things done. 

There have been many changes in the nature of housing over the last century.

They really showed where their loyalty lies -- with guests.But I'm also hesitant to draw broad conclusions from mistakes made in the early days of a once-in-a-century global pandemic. 

I bought most of mine from Facebook Marketplace and a local shop that both refinish mid-century furniture with chalk paint. 

People are not simply buying here for speculation and I am also an investor myself and there is tons of data going back half a century or so to rely on when making a purchase.
