Welcome to biggerpockets Decent times to invest since the stock markets are going downward.( mixture stocks, real estate, and other investments )

But much bigger worries abound about coming decades, about the rest of our lives and of our children's lives.It may seem paradoxical to some, but these increasing long-term fears may boost prices of stocks, bonds, and real estate to high levels while at the same time making the economic recovery anemic."

Some of these people are obvious (doctors, lawyers, business owners) others are not, (someone who is nearing retirement and has a self directed IRA with a lot of money in it and doesn't want to go into a CD or stay in the stock market). 

Not exactly the best areas or the best housing stock.

I absolutely love the stock market and I hold an MBA in financial planning, but I have always had an interest in real estate investing.

I make a pretty good living nowadays and have a lot of time which I have been using for the past year studying everything from cyber security, stock, option, and futures trading, and real estate.

As far as business goes in the LLC vs S Corp vs leave in personal name question I am probably thinking of going the S Corp route since it is noted on here in some posts that some courts are piercing the LLC protections as they are considering it an alter-ego of the person.My question...is that possible with an S Corp, especially if you are sole owner of the stock?  

Look at the dotcom bust in early 2000s: stocks take a nosedive and real estate shrugs and moves on.In this particular case, if I had to guess based on the root causes, I'd predict weakness in real estate markets heavily dependent on oil (especially those small towns that only exist for oil jobs) and maybe some weakness in gateway cities (LA, SF, NYC) as Chinese investors pull out of projects.

It's also dependent on the housing stock in your area and whether there are duplex properties there that you would be willing to live in, of course.

It seems an IPO is on the horizon for AirBnB, and they do not want regulatory issues hurting their stock prices.
