(All bets are off during this supply chain issue and massive inflation situation.).

http://www.cbsnews.com/media/the-10-hottest-real-e...Here's an article that says that Orlando will see the largest rise in home prices this year, at 5.7%.Considering real estate as an investment, these returns are very low compared to the stock market.According to this, one should never invest in the value of real estate because there money would be much better in stocks or even municipal bonds.

Also, dont sleep on Inglewood ajacent LA (90047), it is on the rise as well.  

You lose 6% on average to real estate agents 30,000 + inflation rate 2-3% a year + escrow title and carrying costs then take the economy into factor  does your market take a down turn or go up .

You don't want some 70 year old dump to be holding a 100 year old fixed place in what will probably be a worse location.Buy good properties in good locations, if you're going to hold to the day you die, don't go past a 10/15 year old property, but it's not really a good idea to hold residential properties that long, change out your inventory to keep up in good areas.Last week I made a post about what holding entails long term, bottom line, don't get caught up in some has been area as your wealth starts going south, rents run with inflation but held back to income levels of lower income tenants......not a good business model. :) 

Find out when and where and make sure you attend with a nice table of food or rented inflatable bounce house for the kids in the area.  

It is down a lot this year, but I would bet sales will drastically rise as people are laid off, money gets tighter, and good ole Tomato Soup makes a strong comeback!

The are no inflation assumptions.

You have to beat the tax man to create real wealth, imo.Paying Income taxes is one of the top 4 obstacles to creating real wealth along with procrastination, spending habits and inflation.

Historically, appreciation has just matched inflation (see the inflation adjusted long term Case Shiller data).
