It's all relative.
If you buy a house for $200,000 and it goes up 25% before you sell it you make $50,000
If you buy a house for $500,000 and it goes up the same 25% you make $125,000
With rates so low and the market here so strong, it's worked out very well.
Rather an expensive house in a strong market in an affluent area then a cheap shitbox in a weak market in a so-so area...LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Ask all the people who bought in San Francisco within the last 5-6 years how much they are making and it's a boatload. Just takes a lot of clams to get into the game in California
