Investing in Real Estate
Chapter One
WHY REAL ESTATE OFFERS YOUR
BEST ROUTE TO A
PROSPEROUS FUTURE
Flashback summer 2002: My telephone rings. I pick it up, and it's
Dr. Cynthia Stephens from Los Angeles (where during the previous
three years property prices had jumped nearly 30 percent).
"I'm so worried," she says. "I think I've chosen the absolute worst
time to buy a home."
I calmly assure her, "No you haven't."
"What do you mean?" she replies.
"Well, I'll tell you an even worse time to buy-five years from now,
ten years from now, or any other time in the foreseeable future."
