| People on social media often ask me why I don’t run for political office. The reality is that going into public service in our current environment scares the daylights out of me. I have so much appreciation and respect for those who make that sacrifice. But we’re now in a climate where everybody fights over every decision to tear our leaders down, no matter how capable they may be. |

Is Real Estate a Good Investment in 2025?

My view is that buying and holding real estate is not an effective investment strategy in our current economic environment, for a few reasons.
1) Real estate is more interest rate sensitive than it is inflation sensitive, so given our current circumstances it is likely to go down in real terms
2) It is a fixed asset that is easy to tax, which limits its impacts on your ability to diversify
3) Real estate is nailed down, so investing in it makes it more difficult to move money from one place to another
That’s my view, in a nutshell. I’m curious to hear if you agree.
