Thanks for sharing this article.The author has cherry picked the pieces that negatively supports his line of reasoning.Additionally, there is no guarantee that everyone who invested in stocks would see a positive return as quoted.So, it depends on the drive, plan, creativity and mindset of the individual.It's a known fact that most of the millionaires made/secured their wealth through RE and not the stock market.Looking back at the author's path to home ownership, he could have re-calibrated his steps and do creative REI investing to make himself whole.The author's story sounds like a good one to tell, generate laughter and lively conversations, but, I am not convinced with his line of reasoning about home ownership.

His laughter when he counters your 3% with 6%.  

Showing them my bank account would inspire either laughter or pity, or both.

Thank you, I wish everyone happiness, laughter, success.

I don't even have the necessary funds if I even knew how to find a deal and not to mention as soon as I let my closest friends know what I'm looking at doing I'm met with doubt at laughter.

(LMAO) I'm joking it's really stressful, u know they say laughter is always the best medicine.

I would appreciate your keep your laughter to a dull roar.

Will, it was said with a smile on my face and laughter in my heart.

The luthier opened it and barely contained laughter...he said:You should wrap the violin around the case, case the case is more valuable...Seeing this gorgeous oak in this pig I can't help but remember this story...hahahaLet me put it to you differently, Brandon.

Nice idea, but I seriously doubt they will be able to control the laughter.
