There Is No Alternative

Real Estate

Not a great choice in the era of COVID -- no one is renting or getting AirBnBs.

And who knows what will happen to that market once stimulus checks run out and lots of jobless people start getting evicted.

And then you need to worry about taxes, maintenance, and, if you want to be a landlord, all of those rule & regs.

Or you just drop it in QQQ and try not to think about it too much.

Expensive apts are still filling in our expensive neighborhood in LA. From $2500-4000 a month.

You might look back on this 5 years from now as the ideal time to buy real estate.
