<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1135883, member: 26302&quot;]Real estate has its own problems. There is a pretty high, (and always going higher) property taxes, insurance that must be maintained, maintenance, and a pretty large fee and wait to dispose of it. Yes, farmland is hot, (my Dad owns multi hundreds of acres in Iowa, I own just 80), but that will reverse with commodities. Real estate is a good alternative investment area, just has its own problems like they all do. In reality, bonds and stocks are about the perfect investment in terms of care and liquidity, which is why most money is invested there.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I can say is keep all of these ideas in mind, and buy up what is not hot to diversify when possible. I would not buy farmland now, (may even sell), but would buy farmland when corn is $3 a bushel again maybe. Its funny how assets classes, just like areas of coins, so consistently come in and out of favor, and so many investors always chase what is hot and not &quot;chase&quot; a good value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
