I'll play the contrarian here.Sound diversification helps manage returns in all economic climates and across different asset classes.You can leverage your money more with real estate.

My name is Magnus Løv, 21 years of age and I'm currently studying Economics and Business Administration at Aarhus University. 

A couple of very general questions I have right now to further my education:1) Where can I learn more about the demographics and economics of specific neighborhoods in the D.C. area?

I have my Ph.D. in Economics and I study markets.

Go to college, major in real estate management, finance, economics. 

As far as resources, I'm a young economics major.
