It finally sold leaving my brother in law and my sister with a 50k gain over 8 years. From that the commission of the real estate agent is deducted. Plus taxes plus "speculation tax" - leaving each one with 9k. He still owns 0 sats...

Add inflation and they've lost money.

I keep thinking I want to buy something I can call home, nothing bit and not with the idea of making a profit in the future but just a place I know I can go to no matter where life takes me along the way, but ultimately cases like this make me wonder πŸ€”

Sounds like a great plan. Do it in a country that hasn't gone completely insane on housing, pricing, restrictions and other shenanigans that make your home not really being YOUR home.

Yes you're totally right. Hard to find πŸ˜‚ but absolutely right.

if prices are anything like in NZ, housing inflation has far outpaced inflation on everything else.......If you dont own bitcoin, its probably the best thing to own........I think that will change in a couple of years.

Inflation probably pounded the value of that 50k over that same period. Real estate investing makes sense if you are looking to collect rent in sats and resell the property for sats. Without satsflow, the fiat gains after taxes + maintenance costs won’t be much

Yes. If you add inflation they actually lost money.

πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ always painful to watch such scenarios when the easy thing to do would be buying btc

It's hard seeing when it's people that you care about.

Property tax would have eaten that away where I'm from.

Oh they did lose money. my brother in law is just to arrogant (or stupid) to accept that.
