Hi, 99921
Yes, so true.
Oh, i forgot to mention, the home she bought was built in the 1940's and requires some attention. Let's face it folks, homes for the most part are a liability not an asset. When you add up your mortgage payments, property taxes, general up keep ie. new roof, furnace, hot water tank, windows ect. over the years then we are talking " Money Pits" as far as i can see. This is why i would recommend selling your home, rent for a few years, and invest wisely.
No real-estate on earth will outperform the PM's going forward.
