Conventional wisdom, far from conventional

E-mail
I love it when conventional wisdom is shown to be far from the truth and everybody starts backtracking. As we wrote in June 2010, property, particularly housing is one of those areas.

Several times in recent days we have received article about how bad housing is as an investment, when in the prior decade not a single word was written against such wisdom. Indeed tens of thousands of pages, particularly the "glossy types". were written on how borrowing five or more times salary to out into a non liquid asset was the best one could do.

Talk about all ones in eggs in the same basket.

Today, I received another article that clearly states the pitfalls; I just wish this had been written ten years ago, it would have saved everybody a whole lot of heart ache.
