@David Whartnaby That ideology of focusing on appreciation to justify your purchase is going to get you screwed like many investors did in 2008.

But I want to be in a position to maximize my opportunity based on my research.I hope this helps explain my ideology.

Being a Muslim Immigrant in US, I feel a bit less secure because it was a win of ideology.

They are both successful in there own right however, there ideology about debt is wildly different.. and depending on economic conditions one will be right in my opinion..

We all share a fundamental ideology of financial freedom, and even though we all have different definitions of that, the end game is time.  

I don't claim to have all the answers but a few of the fundamentals for a regional economy that I think really do drive the long term outlook for growth in an area include:Dynamic, diverse, and deep economy fundamentals including strong institutionsFunctional execution of Property Rights and the rule of Law Transparency and limited corruption within the regulatory frameworkA commitment to 'smart regulation' when appropriate, ie: lack of ideological underpinnings (are practical decisions being made on a case by case basis?)

I want this to be connected not monetarily, but ideologically to my real estate business because as I work with contractors and other real estate related business I can network and connect homeless vets with career (or at least job) opportunities.

Yeah I live and invest in upstate NY, Its insane they have yet to realize all their far left ideologies are horrible for the economy and quality of life.

I want to establish a cultural almost ideological approach to goodwill, investing, and creating interlocking efficiencies with investing.  

I think the main reason that Brandon and others espouse the ideology you mentioned is two-fold:1.
