Take a look at the study from Amsterdam. by Piet Eichholtz Eichholtz_A-long-run-house-price-index.pdf (maastrichtrealestate.com)basically a nearly 400 year study of the prices of the same homes along the best canals in Amsterdam since 1628, and the prices rose at about 2-3% or the historic rate of inflation there, same study has been retroactively and proactively studied in almost all countries on Earth and they all get same answers over long term, (Re rises with inflation rate) Now you can have short term bubbles like now in USA, but they usually deflate like the 22% drop from 1929-1935 or the 34% drop from 2006 to 2012, which many of us benefitted from.

@Richard White I just listened to one of the biggerpockets podcasts and they were interviewing a lady who has just written a book for Biggerpockets on investing in RV Parks.

In fact it’s a sweet young lady.

Schools, president, social economic class, race, religion, privilege, geography, education, mom, dad, school lunch lady didn’t like me, the raiders got short end of stick on tuck rule………..I think at end of the day the effort is not there to better ourselves.

in the near past I use it to sell off properties i foreclosed on and dont want to rehab.. buyers like it  I understand the rules.but talking Mrs old lady into this is as you note just another way to make a deal without taking the sellers interest in mind.. thats what sells these guys but if you have a sophisticated seller then  its fair game in my mind.

Housing inventory in Austin rose to 5.8 months, which is up by 1.9 months from June last year.

It’s not even quite in place yet but they sold it to some poor lady for some ridiculous amount of money.

‘Jobs week’ delivered conflicting trendsFirst, the JOLTs survey (Job Openings and Labor Turnover) showed that job openings rose to 8.1 million in May.

I approached the lady that owns the well and she said that was fine verbally.

As a matter of fact, I recently met a young lady who, shortly after meeting, called me for help with an investment she'd made with someone else after both she and the other person failed to satisfy their contractual agreements.
