At least for me, I'm motivated to eat what I buy from a monetary standpoint.

I really don't want to sound negative, I really support you living your dream and doing what makes you happy but if you are looking at it from a purely monetary perspective (you are on a RE investment forum after all) this is a hands down no brainer.

There is the monetary costs but there is also the time costs. 

The monetary cost of doing so isn't actually that much, but it is taking many hours to get my license, and develop and learn from a mentor.I'm in central Indiana and found a good brokerage who can get me working with education and resources within a month after getting my license.After this since I will be in college for business (which I wish I didn't have to, but I have a full-ride I don't want to pass up on), so since I will be pretty busy I'll be looking to list houses more since technology let's me do much of that process easier than driving people to houses etc.

Global monetary system could be effected if stock markets start to close.

It also re-balances part of the monetary burden onto already an already more impoverished area (factoring higher costs into rent for vacancy/legal).A shorter legal timeline and privatization of the sheriff's services to take possession of the property within is a win/win.

I was talking about the non monetary stability it provides, mostly.

Unfortunately, it is very common for investors to choose the one investment that is the most risky and will likely lead to a total loss if it is “cheaper” and a smaller amount of money to lose.Loss aversion happens in all forms of investing and other monetary decisions and the reality is many of us make decisions this way.  

There really wasn't much monetary fluidity BUT there were farms.

There is only one way to measure monetary wealth and that is net worth.
