Proud to say my score is around 800, no debt except this iphone which is less than a $200 balance for the phone left. - Educated myself more in real estate and went to events, went to properties, networked with a few people.

If I can get an understanding of what you mean by Asset Price and what you mean by Valuation, that would help since I am equating them to be the same.It seems that you are saying that Asset Price is Equity since you mentioned $700k per apt in equity is $17 Million.If that's the case, then we are not talking Apples to Apples.To me, Asset Price = FMV.

Here's a few you may be familiar with: Steve Jobs (Apple), Steve Wozniak (Apple), Larry Ellison (Oracle), Michael Dell (Dell), Richard Branson (Virgin), Charles Culpeper (CocaCola), David Geffen (Geffen Records), David Oreck (Oreck), there's many more.I personally have a PhD in Business from Real Life U, a Masters in Real Estate from BiggerPockets, a MBA in Marketing from Bing Search, and a BS in General Studies from FaceBook...

In anticipation of some objections surrounding the Realtor bit, below is a peer-reviewed economic study that empirically demonstrates Realtors do not sell the home for more money than FSBOs, nullifying their argument that their marketing efforts of iPhone photography, and picture slide-show "virtual tours" will somehow sell it for more to cover the extra cost of the commission.https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/38634/1/57...

@Alexander Monnin I've seen a lot of posts about this over the past and while I initally liked the numbers, I realized you are not comparing apples to apples.  401K is offered pre-tax, so you're paying less tax at the end of the year.  

These are apples and oranges compared to pre-2008 when they gave out liar loans.

Account ClosedThat's an apples to oranges argument.

I wouldn't even know what to order at Starbucks and I've never purchased the latest gadget or i-phone.

Your comparison is apples to oranges.

This era was replaced by the likes of eBay and Yahoo who were then pushed aside by the likes of Google, Apple, Facebook and Salesforce.
