Living Rent-Free – Topics Not in the Book

Just like the stock market, appreciation in real estate has its ups and down, but overall the trend is up. We have a limited amount of land and a rapidly increasing population. More and more people are competing for the raw materials needed to build houses, making them more expensive to build.
