Ten Comments on Housing

While I am not agreeing or disagreeing with most of your comments, I would ask you this; would you call it unlikely and a bad investment for somebody on the Eastern seaboard of America to have purchased real estate (second home or rental property) in Hawaii 5 or 10 years ago; we are 6 timezones away? I would neither call that possibility unlikely or imprudent. Also, food in Hawaii is not nearly as good as food in New York City, Washington DC, or Miami Florida.
