Real Estate!! yes, it is true that the housing market is flat at this point. but i bought my first house at 20, eventually moved on but kept it and now it is paid for and i own it free and clear. Yes, i have taxes insurance and maintenance, but they comes straight off my tax liability. And I have the rental income.


Maggie - You have some great points and I'm not sure where you live, but this is hardly possible or realistic in most housing markets in Florida, especially Central Florida. I'm not sure what the market is like in West Florida (where Michelle lives) but I can say this is largely the reason why I haven't jumped on the Real Estate band wagon.
