279: Why a House is NOT a Good Investment
b'
Should you buy a house? What would you do if I told you a house is a terrible investment? Buying a house makes you lose mobility and during the last 100 years, adjusted for inflation, the average home has gone up 1%. If it doesn\\u2019t make you money don\\u2019t buy it. The U.S. Census Bureau came out with a new report showing the fastest growing cities in America with cities in the south\\u2014specifically Texas and Florida\\u2014growing at the fastest rate. You need to be in a position to be able to move where the money is.
1)Houses are a bad investment
2)Buy things that make you money
3)A house is a liability
4)You need to have the ability to move quickly to follow opportunity
I talk in black and white terms a lot, so keep in mind there are always exceptions to rules\\u2014but don\\u2019t go and buy a home!
