Student housing is a great strategy, especially in a dramatically changing educational environment. 

About 25% of the of the worlds GDP is now in a negative interest rate environment with roughly 1/3 of all government debt negative yields.

@Joe Au  the folks that I know that have large net worths not only own their own home but usually have one in the Desert  and maybe up at Lake Tahoe.. or some ski area .. add in a ranch in Montana to go fishing etc etc etc.

In today's economic environment it's hard to find better-performing asset classes outside of real estate.  

Hello, I'm wondering what people's opinion are on the real estate environment in southern Maine?

In this low interest environment, isn't it time for Dave's well-meaning dogma to be put aside?

There is a reason most of these people are forced to live in horrific environments.

The biggest reason is opinion.We know after having between 2,000 and 3,000 transactions close with financing, that in today's environment, some appraisers are not going to appraise our properties as arms-length transactions.  

@John Britt I haven't done much research on this topic, but I think the housing bubble has created a good environment for buy and hold rental properties.
