I agree with Joseph that screening well is crucial for keeping a nice home but we still have yet to find out how to screen for a "cleanliness" and "selflessness" factor since looking at a person's car or attire when they come to check out the house can be deceiving.

I agree that if you expect higher inflation, buying real estate at low interest rates is a fantastic investment, because your rent and equity will increase faster, but your mortgage payment will stay the same.
