Definitely bring the truck and stock up.

Essentially that phrase is saying that real estate investing is pretty predictable once you get your head wrapped around it.

Bonds, mutual funds, stocks maybe pay between 1% to 5%.

I think why this works well in Chicago is because of our housing stock.

We want someone to take the responsibility for maintenance, emergency plumbing calls, guest problems, pest control, stocking guest supplies and management of the people who do lawn care, plowing, housekeeping, etc. off our hands. 

It doesn’t matter what asset class you are investing in (real estate, paper assets like stocks/bonds/mutual funds, businesses, etc…),you must know your PERSONAL INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY before you even start.Gena Lofton, the guest of our last group meeting, brought us a great presentationon her story, where she’s at today, and how she has had her big wins.Interestingly enough, it all goes back to her PERSONAL INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY.It’s knowing your WHY before you even begin to invest.

The same happened in 2013 and 2014, but once again - prices didn't go down.If I decide to invest now I won't have many neighborhoods to invest in and my returns will be low, but im afraid that if I keep waiting and prices will keep going up I won't even have that option.I just can't predict if prices will go up or down soon.
