I agree.
Real estate is a shitcoin.
Maintenance. Taxes. Bills. Services.
You can take all that and out it into, now corn, was s&p and come out the same without the headache of shitcoining a rotting box.
Rent is about same as P&I without having to own the tools to fix.
However if you have land that you love. Thats a different story. But never again will i consider owning a home in or close to a city
