ALL REAL ESTATE LOOKS GOOD 10 YEARS LATER

Many investments, whether bonds, stocks, mutual funds, etc, are bought to hold and in fact become long term investment strategies.  Remember, we have been desensitized these past 10 years from one extreme to another.  First, from 2002 to 2006, the public saw real estate as a means to get rich quick. Investment  for  the short term.  Sadly, many people got caught holding the bag, and lost a lot of money, trying to make real estate something in their investment portfolio, it was never meant to be.  Then the other extreme hit, of no one wanting properties except the heartiest, cash flush, investor.  But if you take10 years, any 10 year period, after the great depression, there is no time that real estate did not do well.  Food for thought.
