Foldvary predicted the real estate crash in 2006 using this same methodology. 

I am a bit nervous to buy right now since the market has just climbed since 08-09... any insight, advice, predictions, sentiment?

@Kai Van Leuven I don't think we can predict what will cause the failure of any specific investment. 

Additionally, you have to be a market wizard and predict a down market for a withdrawal to even come close to making sense (and it still doesn't). 

I was hoping to organize regular inspections with my PM, but it would be nice to formalize it a bit and make predictions about upcoming major expenses. 

Lol... if only it were that easy to predict..... but such is the risk......

They couldn't time the market and predict exactly when, but it was a "for sure."

Hi Mark, What factors do you look at to predict a great upside over the next 10 years?

On the other hand, base hits are a lot easier Real estate/value add opportunities.In all, stocks can help build wealth faster under right conditions but real estate is a more predictable way of building/maintaining it.

After all, it's impossible to predict the future and it could very well be the case that marijuana, even medical marijuana, remains a federally-illegal business for a while, so it's always best to have a backup in case things turn ugly.
