Billion-Dollar Listings: Investing in Real Estate

Chapter 11 in Women of The Street, 2015, pp 229-246 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Roughly two-thirds of Americans own their home,1 making real estate a significantly more popular investment than the stock market. In fact, for many investors, owning property is seen as part and parcel of the American dream, and the tangible nature of the investment is almost universally appealing. It’s not for nothing that Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.”2
