Buy with your heart, not your head. You can look at all the aspects that make a purchase practical, but that kind of thinking makes it an investment rather than a home.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know about investment. It's really obvious - you buy property, let it sit for a couple of years and then sell it and reinvest.
Buy into good, well-researched companies and then wait. Let's call it a sit-on-your-hands investment strategy.
I never buy a house thinking that I'm going to sell it.
I buy things that are good properties that I'm going to have forever. I just don't have any intention to sell anything. I believe you acquire good assets and you keep them and operate them.
Owning a home is a keystone of wealth - both financial affluence and emotional security.
Besides buying a mansion or something, everything I wanted I always got. I'm just ready to invest it and save it. Otherwise, life can hit you, but you can't go back to working at Home Depot. That's why I always just be stacking.
I would not advise people to buy a car or house without making a list. You will probably improve your intuitions by making a list and then sleeping on it.
People should buy a house to live in, not as an investment. Property has become such a national obsession - it was the primary subject at dinner parties and how many television shows were dedicated to the market. It's not good for the economy.
I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell - but then I can never bring myself to sell them.
I think homes are a palpable form of investment, and I understand them.
