Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger explain why they don’t invest in real estate and consider it to be a lousy investment.

The question goes: “I wonder if you could give us a glimpse into your investment process, the way you approach looking at a particular industry. And I wonder if you could use real estate as an example. I know real estate hasn’t been a big, huge part of Berkshire’s portfolio over the years. And I wonder if that’s because you view real estate as a commodity business or if, maybe, the cash flows from real estate tend to be more predictable than, perhaps, from some other industries, and thus, it tends to be less likely to be mispriced, and therefore less likely to find terrific bargains in real estate. So, just wondering if we could — if we were watching a discussion between you and Charlie hashing out the merits of real estate,[tell us] how it would go.”
From Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting. (2002)

The Trenton housing market is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quite mediocre neighborhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighborhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.

Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.

In the early 1990s, when I bought my first home in Miami, first mortgages often came with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10%, which was quite common. It's important to consider that we may never return to 3% rates. If sellers are compelled to sell, home prices may need to decrease, leading to lower valuations. I believe many others share this line of thinking.

As an lnvestment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.

Great video, I have always wanted to invest and start my retirement plans early enough, but I never did. I hope it is not too late for me? I will like good advice on how I can start up my retirement and put up some investments as well. This world in getting more difficult to live in everyday. One needs to prepare for the future and kids inheritance.

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

Investing your life savings in a rental property without certainty of returns can be risky. It's crucial to thoroughly evaluate the investment potential before diving in. I've learned that making wise investments is key to building wealth. It's not just about investing money; it's about investing smartly to secure a prosperous future. Here's to making informed decisions and achieving financial success!

The biggest thing I learned from this video was 50% of investing is buying good companies at good prices and the other 50% is controlling your emotions when . market is moody.I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing.

As Warren himself has said, don't invest in something you don't understand. I understand real estate, and it has done well for me. My take is that people don't need to buy stocks, but they do need a place to live.

This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!

an expert told me that it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation. I’ve heard testimonies of people accruing over $550k during downturns. how can i achieve this?

Retirement for some people becomes their bondage in poverty because they failed to invest with the little they have on their active years of working, this is an error we need to start working on now, I’ll advise that while you still can work and earn also take some money aside and invest in your future after retirement so this classification won’t have to be yours

[esther.]

A crash in the stock or real estate markets has less of an immediate impact on people's standard of living than inflation. That the market is so negative at the moment shouldn't be shocking. If we are to survive in this economy, we need assistance right away. The ETF and stock markets are still quite volatile, just like the property market. Now all that's left of my $370, 000 portfolio is ruins.

Real estate investors losing money is music to my ears. They are a major reason why the real estate market is the way that it is now.

He’s basically saying it’s a good investment for regular people who want stable, predictable returns but a bad investment if you’re trying to get a big advantage and tapping into secret knowledge

[amirbrooks]

I’m currently retired, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, I decided to stay on the sideline for awhile, now I’m worried with the numerous bank failures as of late, am I better off reinvesting my savings in the stock market or do I wait?
