Three years ago real estate investing was hot. Today, many people act as if the opportunity has passed. I contend that the opposite is true.

A recent Onion News article has hit dead on what is wanted right now by the masses of the American public. As ridiculous as this article sounds, this type of mentality is exactly what’s been behind many “investment decisions” of the average American in recent past.

Read the article here, and then keep reading my blog if you’d like a more sound approach to investing.

P.S. Just to be on the safe side, I’ll give you a heads up that The Onion is a satirical, “fake news” organization.
