You'll lose your shares in a rising tide, lose your asset value in a falling one.Oil stocks, while historically cheap, haven't been stagnant have they?

Boston metro is a tough market to crack especially with the rising prices.Besides the day job, I have school commitments that should end by Jan, 2015.

Home prices are on the rise and so is the rent!

Think of what you want your yearly income to be in retirement (then double that because of inflation) and think of what you would need to have in place to make that possible.  

Rent growth that keeps pace with inflation is critical, as rising rents offset the increased cost of living.

Athens, Northlander, Forest River...the list is endless.The tiny home movement appears to be reinventing the wheel at a highly inflated price.

So I don't expect massive appreciation or a rise in rents (in fact, I think the rent is near the cap). 

Yes, a 10 year term will typically be the highest they will offer especially since we're in a rising interest rate environment, on year 10 your loan resets to a higher rate inline with rates 10 years from now. 

I do think prices are slightly inflated, but where are they not?
