Just in case you haven't seen this nice example of a house made from shipping containers:http://www.zigloo.ca/index/projects/zigloo_domestique_gallery

The index was created by other psychologists so I do not take credit for the psychological instrument.

I was thinking "cheap" nationally - housing is the primary reason our cost of living index is so low in Centre County.

After adjusting for the Consumer Price Index, real rents have only gone up 2.5% per year and have only quadrupled in effective cost in 60 years""CONCLUSIONS" - In the long run, San Francisco's CPI-adjusted average income is growing by 1.72% per year, and the number of employed people is growing by 0.326% per year, which together (if you believe the first model) will raise CPI-adjusted housing costs by 3.8% per year.

Our entire model is based on a few key principles:MSA performance of unemploymentSTEM job growth in the areas we develop thus creating more recession proof economiesAffordability index of rents vs income still having room for improvement compared to similar marketsLow vacancy ratesA/B properties to eliminate as much of the risk of payment, crime, and damages that come with C propsAccessibility (we need solid transportation hubs to major economic hubs which attracts good paying jobs with lots of relocation)If you'd like to learn more anytime drop me a line or give me a call.  

That’s why the financial markets are spooked.The UK will likely face economic collateral damage because of this vote, but we don’t know whether these jobs/GDP will be completely lost or just transferred over to EuropeThe financial markets hate uncertainty, and they did not predict a Brexit, so they’ve lost a good chunk of value, something around 5-6% for the average US index fund.The US exports about $56 billion worth of goods to the UK every year, which is something like 3.8% of the total exports from the United States.

For those funds I invest in low cost index funds through betterment.

A liquid ETF like IWM (https://www.investing.com/etfs/ishares-russell-2000-index-etf) Use something like $50k/$75k for the position and wait for the correction.2) Use $100k and buy a sf home and house hack while checking my brokerage account..  :-)

Most people blindly put their money in mutual funds or index funds.

Ask a parent to open a cheap brokerage account with you (some of the cheapest out there right now are vanguard and Charles Schwab) and put your money in a low-cost index fund such as VTSAX which just tracks the stock market.
