For instance, the network one can build from going to an Ivy League school such as Harvard is priceless (the extreme end of the spectrum) to the appreciation of working with people from all over the world in a university setting (diversity breeds creativity).Though the cost of higher education in the US is astronomically high when compared to other parts of the world, the benefits should always be weighed not only on the cost but on the intangible elements of higher education. 

Just a hunch Real Estate doesn’t take a big brain or a Harvard degree to become successful at it.

@Andrey Les Newburgh Heights (Harvard st) and Cleveland (Gifford and Bucyrus streets) 

Last bottom was around year 2010, today 2017, about 7 years after last bottom, using the 18 years real estate cycle from Harvard, next peak may be year 2024, still have 7 more years for the price to go up, then take another 3 years to bottom out.

Area must have over 1 million people with mass transit/easy commute, area must have 80% workforce penetration either working or actively looking for work, and the area must have a vibrant tech based higher educational system.The cities are:BostonDallas (sorry Austin) PhiladelphiaHere is why I think these are the markets to beat and why others are not on the top three list.Pros:Boston has Harvard, MIT, Brown, BC, and UMASS is not far away either (Best).

According to a Harvard study, 3% of people with written goals achieved more than 97% of others COMBINED.

Timber is controlled by John Hancock  Harvard endowment fund as back end funders and then Warehouser has bought a lot of it.. but there is still a play for the small land owner in the north west. 

BPers,I am looking into an off-market deal in South LA's Harvard Heights neighborhood to flip.

Overall that area is a good investment...But imo the fact that Harvard and MIT won't be going anywhere for 100 years is more of a reason to buy than the Wynn.

The returns in Cleveland are far greater then Ca,,,,,,   all the best and good luck  BTW, stick with GH, MH, CH, Euclid, S Euclid, Lee Harvard, and West side, around W 83rd, - 105, and of course anything you can get near Edwater ,,,,
