If there is a RE market that for financed buy n hold has far surpassed the stock market for more than the last 50 years why would you not expect appreciation if nothing fundamentally has changed?   

Helton Thanks for the new topic.If all real estate is local, lets look at some local fundamentals. 

For the record, I do believe that equities prices were headed towards the stratosphere, however would still the see the economic fundamentals to be sound (for now).My goal for this thread was to seek and swap some actionable strategies, so I am sharing a case study of a current transaction:Case: Single Family House in Coastal Fairfield County, CTI am currently in the process of purchasing a single family in Fairfield County, CT.

CA can be difficult to buy, but those supply and demand fundamentals are a double edged sword.

Another factor with flippers is that we have a fundamental policy: "No one gets hurt on our watch."

We all define wealth differently however the ideas and fundamentals in this book will be true for all. 

This is the fundamental problem I have with Wall Street who takes too much fees off the hard-working efforts of the middle class.

There is a lot of investing wisdom I gained from Jim, not just in the equities markets, but also the way I like to approach real estate investing.Here are a few of my favorite quotes from Jim.1) The fundamental strategy is this:  stay with what you know and expand on it.

Somehow, one night I was introduced to a young lady that would fundamentally change my outlook on life, wealth, and avoiding the rat race I was so desperately chasing.

I've got a dozen or so under my belt thus far, as well as a half-dozen select podcasts that I've gone back and caught up on the past year's worth of episodes.I feel like I've got a pretty decent understanding of the fundamentals, and the concepts of using creative financing to analyze deals, but also humble enough to know that I'm far from an expert.I should also mention that we've already got 1 rental property on the books.
