Duh, that was the mantra in the throughout the Real Estate boom of the late 90's thru Mid 00's. I remember hearing it clearly over and over during a seminar put on by a local real estate super star investor-developer in the Twin Cities. That and "Real Estate has never dropped more than 5% for two years in a row since the 1900's, bla bla bla. Sad thing is I bought into it hook, line and sinker watching my "paper" net worth grow from low six figures to mid seven figures in a matter of 7 years. Whoops. Then the inevitable. The real estate boom turned into a BOOM and CRASH and as the prices fell, so did my entire net worth and then some. D'oh. I've remained the the same business but have spent the last decade digging out only to just this year surpassing the ZERO line on the Net Worth scale. Looking forward to continuing to learn & redefine my definition of success and start focusing on the process not the destination.
