We mostly invest in the stock market  and have made good money so far but nothing beats the feeling of owning something tangible that you actually have control over.In 2008, we built our first house in a neighbourhood under construction.

In my opinion its not the Las Vegas real estate market thats in a bubble, its ALL ASSETS (stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities, etc) across the board that are in a bubble. 

Led by a professor who brought personality to finance, it was no surprise to hear that he worshipped real estate (& stock options, but that's for another forum) and I caught the contagion.Since graduating, I've decided to continue my education on Youtube, reading various self help books (Think & Grow Rich, Rich Dad Poor Dad, etc.) and finally finding BP to complete.

I predict great things but I am new to the area so that is speculation.

I think getting into real estate would be better than stocks.

Campbell wasn't nearly as bad as it was predicted, so the market is still strong.

Rachelle, Mark and Glenn, Thank you for the warm welcome and getting started tips.Joe: After many years investing in the Stock market, I now focus on investments that do not involve securities.

@Camille TreacySorry, I'm coming to this late but came across an article on this subject that might interest you.https://medium.com/enodo/how-automation-and-predictive-analytics-can-help-real-estate-analysts-underwrite-more-effectively-edbeff443c5b

After grad school, I taught myself how to invest in the stock market and have been very successful so far.

My parents do okay, but my dad's almost entirely invested in the stock market, which I think is insane - no leverage there!
