Real estate barely keeps up with inflation...

Not considering the recent runup in prices, housing generally keeps pace with inflation and building $100,000 in equity after 10 years does not sound far fetched to me.But like I stated before I am a novice and feedback such as yours is appreciated.

A few calculations later, it was clear to see that appreciation was barely keeping up with inflation.

The more difficult ones are the homes you bought at market price and are trying to sell shortly thereafter at an inflated value.

It will only get worse with time, inflation, and recession. 

You could sell it outright or do a lease-option to sell the house for inflated value.

Surely you don't think Bush and Co. are going to take up for anyone who's hassling the folks who provide a HUGE CHUNK of merchandise to Wal-Mart (huge Bush supporters), which helps keep our inflation rate down, while at the same time purchasing AN EVEN BIGGER AMOUNT of our debt, which allows us to continue on this drunken spending spree that's been going on for the past five years.

The "value" package for seasoned vets and the "premium" report for newbies.That's my 2 cents ($300 adjusted for inflation :lol: )

Money is SUPER cheap right now and with the rate the Fed is printing money there is a very good chance we'll see high levels of inflation over the next 10 years.

Purchase price 215K Appraisal and inflated purchase price 285K.
